Gartner Header 12-2021

We’re proud to announce that LOCH Technologies has been recognized as a Provider for Cyber-Physical Security Technology and Solutions in the Sept. 2021 Gartner Emerging Technologies and Trends Impact Radar: Internet of Things report.

 

IoT has created the world’s largest attack surface - with over 80% of IoT/OT deployments being wireless, wireless has in fact become the new network and new attack surface. Traditional tools that monitor connectivity and traffic on the wired network with visibility into WiFi (802.11) and Bluetooth alone have a dangerous blind spot when devices are connecting over broad spectrum RF, cellular 4G/5G or private or public networks.

 AirShield provides comprehensive visibility into the IoT and OT (operational technology) threat landscape in order to detect, assess and prevent risk from unmanaged, unsecured and misconfigured IoT devices operating in the broad range of 100MHz - 6GHz.

According to Gartner, "Cyber-physical system security (CPS-Sec) solutions enable organizations to securely manage the increasingly interconnected environments — and the related threats to safety, availability, security, reliability, resilience and privacy. The need for a comprehensive and coordinated security approach will require organizations to deploy tools that cover the entire cyber-physical risk spectrum, across IT, OT, IoT and physical environments."

Emerging CPS-Sec use cases where controls apply across IT, IoT, OT and physical environments include:

Real-time visibility and asset discovery offering overarching inventorying and remediation features across IT, IoT and OT environments

Managed detection and response and incident response services

Vulnerability assessment

Threat intelligence
