Security - Next Gen Cybersecurity Solution for BMS networks
Nelysis CyberSecurity Solutions
The demand for 24/7 cyber defense for Physical Security is ever
increasing as the landscape of critical infrastructures has
changed immensely. New considerations are needed to face
today’s terrorist threats: the apparent randomness and the
easiness of the attacks make a potential target far less obvious.
Now more than ever, physical security must be active 24/7.
Every risk manager of either critical infrastructure or Small
Medium Business with important assets to protect, needs high
physical security protection to control access to the facilities.
Today’s security, safety and comfort, are increasingly dependent
on the growing use of physical security and BMS systems. This
growth often leads to multiple complex systems, which make it
challenging to control and properly maintain, and usually
require professional IT personnel.
Billions of Rands are invested in physical security and BMS
systems by businesses and governments to provide safety,
security and service. These systems are essential to maintaining
smooth operations and maintaining maximum security.
CCTV, Access Control and Building Management Systems
represent an Achilles heel for government and commercial
enterprises whereby access to their data systems can be gained
and exploited via a physical security element. Nelysis provides
the next generation of protection by utilising AI and
Cybersecurity techniques to protect your assets by proactively
monitoring your enterprises environment. In addition to
protecting your environment, the platform also provides
operational insights accessible to facilities and security
managers via an easy to use dashboard.
The Vanguard Network Solution
Vanguard Network Cyber Management Software (NCM) is a
unique system enabling early detection and protection of cyber
threats on Physical Security and Control Systems networks
The Vanguard Network Cyber Management Software (NCM)
system visualizes the network and its various elements, detects
and identifies a wide range of cyber-threats, including new
threats and 0-day exploits
The Vanguard Network Cyber Management Software (NCM)
system monitors all network traffic by means of DPI Deep Packet
Inspection, detects mismatches with established behavior
profiles and issues alerts
The metadata are stored in a Big Data Repository for forensic
analysis
Benefits of the Architecture
Non-intrusive, full separation between the monitored network
and the Cyber Protection network
Active Protection, upon detection of a threat, it disconnects the
communication with the malicious device
Information are shared and alerts are sent to the event
management system
The existing communication switches are controllable for
immediate protection purposes
Unlimited expansion – The software architecture allows
expansions as needed without limitations
Centralized management
Interactive Dashboard for network management and
visualization of threats
Real-time alerts are sent to the operator
Automatic network discovery
Interactive Network mapping and visual presentation of all
connected devices
Analysis at layers 7 & 4
Behavior Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of the network components and
network traffic (DPI)
Constant monitoring of element’s behavior vs approved profiles
and behavior patterns
Deviations of patterns behavior are immediately detected by
means of Deep Learning algorithms
Metadata information are saved for forensic analysis and
comprehension of historical changes
