Standards and directives from UK, EU and US government organisations recommend continuous monitoring to provide realtime context and visibility for OT assets and network connectivity. Therefore, it’ s concerning that e2e-assure’ s research found that 28 % of organisations say they have only manual or ad hoc coordination of their IT / OT visibility and monitoring. The research also found there is a lack of consistency and completeness when it comes to monitoring OT environments, with 32 % of organisations using detection platforms originally built for IT, 29 % using active visibility tools and 28 % using custom developed detection logic. This highlights a need for better integrated tools and, more importantly, specialist monitoring.

To meet a growing demand for advanced OT security solutions that enable continuous monitoring, threat detection and data protection, e2e-assure has launched 24 / 7 Unified IT / OT Detection and monitoring that uses EmberOT’ s specialist sensor technology( but also available to operate with all leading OT cyber sensor tools). A further partnership with Trinity OT Security will help customers access the new solution. This makes e2e-assure one of the only UK owned and operated cybersecurity specialists offering a full OT solution that feeds directly into its UK based SOC.

“ From expanding threats to mounting regulatory requirements, OT organisations are not equipped to handle these challenges alone,” said Rob Demain, CEO of e2e-assure.“ But it’ s not a process that can be easily outsourced due to the complexity and sensitivity of their operations. We are delighted that with this new product and partnership, e2e-assure is now further equipped to support organisations where operational resilience and avoiding costly downtime is crucial.”

e2e-assure can now deliver 24 / 7 monitoring for customers with EmberOT’ s 100 % software solution. EmberOT’ s sensors deliver continuous insight into status, vulnerabilities and threats, helping organisations address potential risks and protect industrial systems and critical infrastructure. The sensors will help customers reduce alert noise through false positives, decrease detection times and increase asset visibility. Combined with e2e-assure’ s expertise and deep subject matter knowledge, this solution means customers can get ahead of threats and build resilience into a proactive cybersecurity strategy.

Customers can also benefit from:

• Visibility reports that provide a complete asset inventory and contextual risk index that detects any threats as they come in.

• Asset vulnerability priority lists that prioritise vulnerabilities based on relevant context and provide mitigation assistance.

• A simplified alert system that integrates with the SOC for 24 / 7 threat monitoring and response.

• Flexible deployment that can be done locally without external connectivity, adapting to unique environments and providing easy communication with the SOC team via the e2e-assure Teams app. x
