This collaboration combines Radiflow’s expertise in OT cybersecurity with Garland’s packet visibility technology to deliver a cost-effective, enhanced, end-to-end security solution for critical infrastructure and industrial plants.

Nation-state threat actors are increasingly focusing their attention on disrupting industrial processes and critical infrastructure. Radiflow and Garland’s partnership helps operators detect anomalies in network behavior and communications that might be indicators of compromise.

Garland’s network TAPs capture every communication packet and send a copy to Radiflow’s OT Security Platform for prompt analysis.

As anomalies are detected, Radiflow’s platform automatically alerts stakeholders and security personnel of a potential cyber attack, so that they can respond effectively.

“We are very pleased to be partnering with Garland,” said Ilan Barda, founder and CEO of Radiflow. “Their solution enables our customers to see and monitor every network event without requiring expensive investment in intrusive switches. The partnership helps put our customers on track toward NIS2 and IEC 62443 compliance.”

“Garland Technology has been involved in critical infrastructure projects since 2011 when we designed our first Data Diode TAP for a customer,” said Chris Bihary, CEO & Co-Founder. “Since then, we’ve been building network visibility products to help provide technologies like Radiflow’s OT Security Platform the packet-level visibility needed to protect the world’s most critical assets. This exciting solution takes replicated data from our network TAPs and Data Diodes and turns it into actionable insights that facilitate precise threat detection. Together, we’ve simplified network management and security operations in closed and segregated environments that still use old and legacy network equipment while enhancing overall control and visibility.”

The collaboration between Radiflow and Garland Technology ensures complete data capture of all network transactions, enabling effective anomaly detection.

This facilitates precise threat detection and reduces false positives through uninterrupted data analysis. Additionally, it maintains network performance and uptime with secured data streaming.

The joint solution is highly flexible. It adapts to a variety of network configurations and can scale seamlessly with infrastructure changes. Security teams can monitor multiple environments from a single centralized dashboard.

This technology partnership underscores Radiflow and Garland’s commitment to OT security, as they empower operators of cyber physical systems (CPS) with the tools and insights necessary to defend against today and tomorrow’s cyber threats.

This partnership delivers a cost-effective approach to enhanced security, while creating a clear path toward compliance with industry standards, such as NIS 2 and IEC 62443. Customers can operate their OT environments with full confidence that they are protected from current and future threats.

The new version enables industrial and critical infrastructure operators to improve their security posture, optimise the ROI of their cyber spend, and embark on an effective risk management program according to the requirements of the upcoming EU NIS2 Directive.

In addition, the new version simplifies and centralises the management of the entire solution suite, delivering more value to OT operators.

Coming into force later this year, NIS2 mandates that essential organisations deploy effective cybersecurity solutions that protect critical assets and operations.

In addition, NIS2 requires adoption of an effective, ongoing risk management program that includes frequent, accurate risk assessments. The upgraded Radiflow solution suite helps organisations achieve these requirements.

“Our integrated portfolio offers deep visibility into industrial networks, empowering CISOs to detect and respond to cyber threats while proactively measuring their risk and optimising their cyber spend,” said Michael Langer, chief product officer for Radiflow.

Radiflow’s threat-detection platform, iSID, safeguards thousands of industrial settings, including maritime vessels, from cyber threats.

The new version of iSID includes industry-specific network visibility and asset management capabilities, as well as alert-triage improvements for speed and effectiveness.

CIARA, the data-driven OT risk assessment and management solution, uses data collected by iSID to create a digital twin of the OT network, enabling it to run security simulations that measure risk to business and industrial processes.

The new version of CIARA introduces state-of-the-art capabilities for enterprise security planning, allowing CISOs to optimise cybersecurity spending per site and across the entire OT estate.

CIARA’s attack vector analysis is compatible with the MITRE ATT&CK Knowledge Base Version 14, which allows CISOs to analyse emerging threats to production crown jewels. CIARA’s speed and automation enable operators to conduct frequent, accurate risk assessments.

The new version of iCEN centralises the monitoring and management of multiple iSIDs, providing a unified view of OT assets, alerts, risk scores, and more from a single pane of glass. Integrating with CIARA, the results of risk assessments are displayed on the iCEN dashboard.

In addition, iCEN delivers insights regarding trends over time, and it accurately prioritises alerts for efficient processing and investigation.

“With our new version, Radiflow has tightly integrated its entire portfolio,” declared Ilan Barda, CEO. “Customers can manage the entire gamut of our solutions from one centralised console, boosting security posture and risk management in consideration of NIS2 requirements, while simplifying cyber operations and optimising their cost.”

This partnership leverages more than 20 years of real-world threat intelligence from both East and West.

By harnessing the power of Generative AI, this partnership unlocks untapped, unlimited detection and response capabilities for enterprise customers, MSSPs, and MDRs against increasingly sophisticated attacks targeting OT assets.

CISOs today are up against an evolving range of attacks, and their network devices, burdened with outdated and end-of-life software, are often left exposed. Further exacerbating the problem, these devices cannot be taken offline for critical upgrades or security patches, leaving them exposed to a range of threats including both zero-day and publicly known attacks.

Many of these intrusions can be traced back to theft of credentials or other network penetration techniques that result in a significant loss of data or ransomware that leads to a total lockout.

To address these issues, Radiflow entered this partnership to integrate extended network monitoring to the endpoints, leveraging CyCraft’s advanced threat hunting and investigation capabilities to real-time contain breach impact and stop repeat attacks.

The strategic partnership ensures end users can refer to a single pane of glass without 3rd party integration work which often adds friction to deployment and operation.

“The collaboration between CyCraft and Radiflow isn’t merely; it’s transformative. By synergizing our strengths, we’re poised to offer unparalleled cybersecurity solutions that address not just present challenges, but anticipate future ones” says Benson Wu, CyCraft’s Co-founder & CEO. “Our customers stand to benefit from the best of both worlds.”

Radiflow’s collaboration with CyCraft is a new addition to its impressive roster of integrations that includes Fortinet and Palo Alto Networks’ Firewalls, as well as the Cisco ICE Network Access Control (NAC) solution. These collaborative efforts serve as a testament to Radiflow’s commitment to providing a comprehensive and effective OT cybersecurity solution.

“With integrated and tested joint solutions, we can recognize greater security across the facilities we rely on most,” said Ilan Barda, Co-founder & CEO of Radiflow. “Combining our iSID with CyCraft tools addresses the challenges of securing OT networks against the evolving attacks while ensuring that the deployment of such solutions can be done in a smooth manner.”

An overlooked but critical use case for the CISOs and their boards is to anticipate regulators raising the bar. We are seeing behind-the-scenes regulatory breach investigations demand evidence-backed incident response in minutes, not days. This emerging need for near real-time, root cause analysis serves as the bedrock for innovation this partnership brings to the market.

“As an industry, it is unthinkable, unacceptable to carry on from detect to response without knowing root cause real-time” says Chris Chen, CyCraft’s CCO. “Adversaries will expect cyber defenders to be ill-prepared and ill-equipped to stop attacks. Together, let’s prove them wrong.”
