Product & Supply Chain Security
While this solution is useful for anyone involved in industrial enterprise security, it is aimed specifically at OT assets and IIoT vendors-manufacturers of traditional PLCs, distributed control systems (DCSs), industrial switches and firewalls, as well as newer IIoT devices like smart meters and smart cameras.
This solution offers a product security platform that automates software security duties from start to finish, at all phases of the product lifecycle, to ensure that any potential threats to the product supply chain are identified, prioritized, communicated, and resolved quickly. Automating product security eliminates the manual overhead involved with the process, allowing product developers to concentrate on what genuinely puts the product(s) at risk.
This solution will assist vendors in developing, manufacturing, shipping, and maintaining more secure products. No device is exempt.
By automating the security management of the product development and delivery processes, this system satisfies security needs both before and after product release.
Shortening release cycles and ensuring that suppliers include known fixes and vulnerability mitigation measures in their products are both aided by automation. There are a lot of security flaws to examine, and these solutions cover all of them while also automating the process for the product creator or seller. These solutions, for example, assist vendors in matching individual components to Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) databases in order to determine whether these vulnerabilities may be exploited by the device's intended usage. They also automate the vendor's capacity to detect software flaws and incorrect device setups that could cause other problems.
Vendors can focus development resources on the risks that matter by enumerating and prioritizing potential issues. Furthermore, these programs usually include some amount of remedial instructions to help speed up the resolution of each problem. To handle the entire process, the products also include a software build and ticketing system.
Product Security is governed by a number of standards. The IEC62443-4-1 standard is part of the IEC 62443-4:2018(E) standard, which describes the process criteria for secure product development in industrial automation and control systems (IACS). The process criteria for the secure development of products used in industrial automation and control systems are specified in IEC 62443-4:2018(E). The specification is one of a set of standards addressing the topic of IACS security.
IEC 62443-4 specifies the secure development life cycle (SDL) requirements for products designed for use in IACS environments, as well as instructions on how to meet the standards for each element. Security requirements definition, secure design, secure implementation (including coding guidelines), verification and validation, defect management, patch management, and product end-of-life are all included in the life-cycle description. These standards can be applied to new or current hardware, software, or firmware development, maintenance, and retirement procedures.
Asset owners' capacity to fingerprint original firmware and software files and compare downloaded or delivered upgrades to the vendor original is automated by Supply Chain Security solutions. This level of visibility is required when software is deployed on important, real-time OT/ICS systems to control inherent hazards.
Identify whether software/hardware subcomponents contain known vulnerabilities/malware before incorporating them into your product; be aware of when counterfeit versions of your software updates appear in the field; and secure your software update delivery process, as it contributes to asset owners' trust. To align with industry standards and comply with growing regulations, simplify the process and minimize expenses.
Save time and effort by automating the entire process and connecting with existing Workflows. Gain visibility and control over the upgrading process. Know the reliability of update files before installing on key equipment.
