Industrial Defender Delivers Industry-First OT Machine Learning Engine Using Both Network and Endpoint Data

Industrial Defender

Industrial Defender, an operational technology (OT) security pioneer, today announced another industry-first in their long line of innovations, a new OT Machine Learning (OTML) Engine. The OTML Engine is powered by Industrial Defender’s contextual OT endpoint and network data and uses the extensive Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit algorithms, to help businesses implement machine learning at scale across OT environments. As cyberattacks grow increasingly sophisticated, businesses require centralized machine learning for IT and OT environments – both of which have generally remained disparate and siloed to date – to develop stronger, more accurate data models for detecting, investigating and responding to potential threats. Consuming OT asset and network data in Splunk supports the creation of incident response playbooks specifically for these systems to enable advanced use cases like SOAR. “The centralization of machine learning is absolutely essential for it to be truly effective across any one organization – otherwise, it’s only useful for the particular system or plant in which it is currently being deployed,” said Peter Lund, Vice President of Product Management, Industrial Defender. “By marrying machine learning for both IT and OT environments in Splunk, our new OTML features enable predictive modeling and incident response for cyberattacks such as ransomware across the entire company, not just at the plant level.” To successfully implement machine learning at scale, it is important to understand normal, operating baselines so that SOC teams can automate the identification of behavioral deviations and anomalies. Simplifying this process, Industrial Defender’s OTML Engine provides the necessary contextual endpoint data that is labeled appropriately and easy to visualize from an asset-centric point of view. Key features of the new OTML Engine include: Behavioral Ransomware Detection: Detect when an asset starts exhibiting behavior that is indicative of a ransomware attack. Service and Conversation Anomalies: Detect when asset starts communication using a service(s) outside of the learned behavior for the asset or communicating with asset(s) that are outside of the learned behavior for the asset. Communication Anomalies: Detect when external inbound and outbound communications are being made with an asset that is outside of the learned behavior for the asset. Traffic Volume Anomalies: Detect when an asset is sending/receiving a volume of traffic that is outside of the learned behavior. OT Network Visualizations: Visualize asset-based network connectivity. To learn more about Industrial Defender’s OTML Engine powered by Splunk, view the solution brief here: https://www.industrialdefender.com/solution-brief-splunk-otml About Industrial Defender Since 2006, Industrial Defender has been solving the challenge of safely collecting, monitoring, and managing OT asset data at scale, while providing cross-functional teams with a unified view of security. Their specialized solution is tailored to complex industrial control system environments by engineers with decades of hands-on OT experience. Easy integrations into the broader security and enterprise ecosystem empower IT teams with the same visibility, access, and situational awareness that they’re accustomed to on corporate networks.

Replicated, Inc.

kURL, an open-source, custom Kubernetes distribution generator created by Replicated, achieved CNCF Kubernetes Distribution Certification. CNCF-certified Kubernetes products guarantee that the complete Kubernetes API functions as specified so that users can rely on a seamless, stable experience. Replicated uses kURL to power its embedded cluster installs. Now that kURL is CNCF-certified, embedded clusters, by extension, are now compatible with certification standards. Replicated customers and their enterprise end-customers can rest assured that embedded clusters installed through Replicated stand up to the standards outlined by the CNCF. “One of the most valuable characteristics of Kubernetes is the ecosystem’s commitment to standardization and compatibility. The certification process for Kubernetes distros serves to ensure that Kubernetes admins and end-users can expect a consistent set of manifests and tooling to work interoperably with various distros. By certifying this kURL distribution, software vendors and their end-customers can be confident that the Kubernetes they’re leveraging meets those standards.” Grant Miller, Founder, and CEO of Replicated. kURL distributions already power the underlying Kubernetes add-ons for many commercial software vendors.

The CNCF certified the kURL submission, aligning kURL with its mission to deliver consistency, portability, and sustainability in the Kubernetes open-source space. CNCF collaborates closely with the Kubernetes development community at large, with persistent input from Testing and Architecture Special Interest Groups (SIGs). The Kubernetes Architecture SIG is the final arbiter that defines API conformance for the program. Every vendor’s version of Kubernetes must support the required APIs, mirroring open source community versions. For more information about kURL, visit https://kurl.sh. About Replicated: Replicated is a first-of-its-kind solution that empowers software vendors to deploy Kubernetes applications to enterprise customers with speed, consistency, reliability, and scalability. Replicated provides software vendors with the ability to package and deliver software across multi-cloud and on-prem environments – running Kubernetes clusters or not – in an agile manner using a single, modern, Kubernetes-based architecture.

Our partnership with NexWafe testifies to this yet again, as we embark on an ambitious mission to meet affordable green energy needs of India’s rapidly growing economy. Our investment in NexWafe signals an important step towards accelerating India’s green energy transition and positioning India as a global leader in photovoltaic manufacturing. We believe NexWafe’s innovative ultra-thin wafer will give solar manufacturers a significant advantage over existing photovoltaic technologies, helping consumers in India and globally realize the benefits of solar energy more quickly and more efficiently. “For Reliance, our foray into solar and other types of renewable energy is much more than a business opportunity. It is our way of caring for Planet Earth and contributing to the global mission of saving it from the looming climate crisis.” Davor Sutija, CEO of NexWafe, said, “With its strategic partnership with NexWafe, Reliance can bring the latest in solar wafer innovation to India while also leveling the global playing field for photovoltaic manufacturers, expanding manufacturing beyond a single source market.” NexWafe Chairman Bart Markus added: “Reliance is famed for its ability to create quality products at the most competitive prices, so its commitment to helping us reshape and reinvent the silicon wafer will be, we believe, game-changing for helping the world deploy high-efficiency photovoltaics at scale.” Other investors joining Reliance in the Series C Round include InnoEnergy, Lynwood, Saudi Aramco Energy Ventures and other incumbent and new investors, adding another nearly EUR 10 million ($12 million) to the round. ACXIT Capital Partners are acting as the exclusive financial advisor to NexWafe. International law firms GÖRG and Raeder are acting as legal counsel to the company. Linklaters acted as the legal advisor and Deloitte as the accounting and tax advisor to Reliance on this transaction. About Reliance Industries Limited (Reliance) Reliance is India's largest private sector company, with a consolidated turnover of INR 539,238 crore ($73.8 billion), cash profit of INR 79,828 crore ($10.9 billion), and net profit of INR 53,739 crore ($7.4 billion) for the year ended March 31, 2021.
