Identify

Identification and Classification of assets allows prioritisation and risk understanding

Being able to accurately identify assets, resources and roles allows an organisation to understand what it has and what it needs to protect.

Without this insight, risk mitigation measures may be targeted to the wrong areas incurring expense without significant improvements in security or maturity.

SolutionsPT provides a range of industry leading services and products that coupled with our way of working and industry experts provides organisations with a quick and high-value view of their cyber security maturity.

Cyber Security Management System (CSMS) Compliance

To identify, understand and reduce cyber security risks, all organisations should have implemented an ongoing Cyber Security Management System.

Our Cyber Security Gap Assessment (CSGA) is an essential step to ensuring your company implements an effective CSMS. By identifying areas that result in increased risk exposure, or non-compliance to regulatory and legislative requirements so these problematic areas can be identified and can be quickly addressed. We understand that no two businesses are the same, as such we offer a highly customisable service. Our CSGA can be tailored to your exact needs by considering the legislative requirements and any other standards your business requires to comply with.

Knowledge and advice you can trust

At SolutionsPT we have over 30 years’ experience within a wide variety of Critical National Infrastructure verticals and other industries and we are used to dealing with their unique Cyber Security challenges whilst maintaining network and process integrity.

Industry Proven Detection and Protection Tools

Using best in class products allows SolutionsPT to provide a comprehensive deep dive into the various layers of the control network from a single site to a larger multi-site deployment without adding extra levels of complexity in order to get to the information that is needed to validate the normal process operation is secure from issue. If issues are detected, either security or configuration, they can be tracked through the business’s normal workflow remediation tools.

Extreme Visibility

Visibility is a foundational element for protecting critical industrial processes and it provides measurable business value. Understanding your assets, their configuration and the communications they undertake in detail allows for informed business decisions and detailed risk assessments.

Detection is key to minimising the impact of undesirable cyber security events

A good detection solution will provide visibility to the cyber security team of a wide variety of events allowing proactive Security Event Discovery.

Understanding the time and scale of any event will allow more effective remediation. And any solutions and processes should allow for test, compliance and improvement.

With 90% of data breaches being human related and 70% of all malware originating at the endpoint, it's a cat and mouse game to keep systems secure and up-to-date. Zero day threats will always be discovered, making detection simple is the key approach to reduce the risks of cyber incident and identifying these early in the attack cycle.

SolutionsPT has implemented detection solutions and provided advice to significantly improve our customer’s cyber security event detection.

Protect

In many cases large improvements in protection can be made simply and at low-cost

For example zoning areas of criticality ensures you can implement the most stringent controls around your key assets while applying appropriate controls to the areas which pose the least amount of risk.

Deploying hardened builds that are created to defined and recognised standards  such as CIS, NCSC or DISA. These standards are often required as a baseline for secure operational environments within the UK such as Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) and help to provide secure by design methodology.

Centralised Remote Management

Claroty SRA allows centralised access control that can be easily audited to meet the organisations policies and procedures allowing access to networked plant items; remote access connections allow for Active Directory users or groups to be defined providing granular control over who has access and more importantly who shouldn’t have access.

Continual Network and Cyber Security Situational Monitoring

Once Claroty CTD has deployed network traffic is continually collected passively, the traffic content and patterns are then analysed alerting the user of potential security or configuration issues that could harm the normal running of network and its dependant processes ensuring unexpected outages don’t occur.

Designed to fit the network

As network and endpoint information is collected it is automatically collated and categorised and laid out following recognised IEC-62443 standards, this allows for easier presentation of the collected information; as all networks have their subtleties more granular layout templates can be achieved to show the dependencies between the standard layers in the form of ‘half layers’.

Antivirus That Works For OT

Get in front of malicious cyberattacks with the data science-driven power of AI. Cylance Protect works where most attacks occur; at the endpoint for better efficiency, faster resolution and less disruption. AI-driven threat prevention, response and attack mitigation stop attacks that legacy products miss while dramatically reducing alert fatigue.

Cylance Endpoint Detection

Cylance delivers a predictive advantage against never-before-seen malware an average of 25 months before it appears online.  Using mathematical algorithms to detect malware, this removes the need for continual signature updates, ideal for OT networks where patching and maintenance windows are limited. Cylance’s unique artificial intelligence (AI) approach, predicts and protects against known and unknown malware, file-less attacks and zero-day payload execution.

Detect

Swift detection allows effective remediation

The quicker and earlier in the cyber kill chain you detect an event, the more likely you are to minimise the impact. Often threat actors have a presence in an organisation’s network long before any malicious action is taken.

Better Security is closely related to better safety

In many cases improving security will improve safety. For example detecting a change in a PLC’s code will allow remediation of a cyber-security event but that change in code will also effect the equipment safety case.

Protection and process improvements

Ongoing assessment of OT operations, asset discovery along with integration into a wider enterprise tools such as SIEM or SOC allows the detection of events that even if not malicious can illustrate the need for protection improvements and identify any process weaknesses.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

With machine learning, cybersecurity systems can analyse patterns and learn from them to help prevent similar attacks and respond to changing behaviour. Furthermore, indicators in the past can also assist to predict threats in the future. It can help cybersecurity teams be more proactive in preventing threats and responding to active attacks in real time.

Recover

Always have a Plan B

Having a robust Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) technology should be a high priority for all organisations. The faster you can recover after an incident, the less of an impact this will have on your operation and profitability. Testing of your Disaster Recovery plan should be a regular process, with continual improvements made. Should a real incident then occur, the correct people know how to respond, and can limit the impact to operations.

There are two key metrics to review with any recovery solution, RPO and RTO. RPO is Recovery Point Objective, and is essentially how frequently do you take backups to limit the amount of lost data should an incident occur. RTO is Recovery Time Objective and is the time taken to recover after an incident. The better the solution, the smaller both of these times will be.

Business Continuity (BC) assumes there is adequate resource available to host the service, often this requires additional servers which are present 'just in case'. Combining the BC with Disaster Recovery (DR) into a single BCDR solution often brings tangible cost and time befits.

Disaster Recovery as a Managed Service

Allow SolutionsPT to take care of the daily operations around backup and testing, allow you to focus on your own core activities. SolutionsPT become an extension of your support team.

Hybrid Cloud Technology

On Premise Solutions you Manage

No all of our customers permit access to external networks for a managed service, we have a number of solutions that we have tested and are guaranteed to work within an OT environment, without requiring an external connection ever.

Change Management to devices and SCADA configuration

 Disasters are not always hardware or software related, there is human error too. That change you undertook to your configuration which missed the backup window or simply was 'forgotten about' can be costly and embarrassing, especially if recovery means restoring a complete machine, never mind time consuming. With MDT Autosave your changes are immediately recorded, versioned controlled, recorded and can be compared to the authorised production version.  

Resilient Networking

Networking is at the core of all operations, so ensuring you have a stable, healthy, safe and resilient network is essential. In an increasingly connected world, it is important to have a network that has not only sufficient speed and bandwidth capacity to meet your current requirements, but also the capacity to allow swift recovery from and isolation of any incident.
