Description
Overwatch passively monitors industrial control system network traffic for anomalies and known attack patterns, deployable alongside legacy equipment without touching the control systems themselves. Deployed at two regional utility operators.
Problem
Industrial control systems are frequently decades old and can't run modern security agents, leaving them monitored poorly or not at all.
Solution
Passive network monitoring purpose-built for industrial protocols, requiring no agent on the legacy equipment itself.
Target market
Utilities and manufacturers running legacy industrial control systems.
Business model
Annual monitoring license, priced per site.
