Mission Secure, an industry leader in Operational Technology (OT) cybersecurity, is pleased to announce the company’s program has been nominated to compete in the 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program.

The Mission Secure Platform was built for one purpose, ICS/Industrial Control System (OT) cyber-protection.

Going beyond other available solutions with truly innovative capabilities integrated into one platform, the Mission Secure Platform is the first integrated cyber-protection platform for complete visibility, segmentation, protection, and patented signal-integrity monitoring.

(MSi) is a leading Industrial Control System (ICS) cybersecurity company protecting clients in maritime, industrial, autonomous vehicles, smart cities and defense industries from cyber attacks.

The Mission Secure Platform protects OT networks from cybersecurity threats by providing:

Visibility

Including the ability to inventory and map ICS/OT network devices, to monitor OT network and protocol communications, to monitor device parameters and changes, and to detect network anomalies and threats, helping customers improve their security postures.

Segmentation

Including the ability to logically segment the ICS/OT environment without the need to re-architect the entire network, control and restrict third-party access, and control all touchpoints inside and out.

Protection

Including the ability to protect devices against unknown, untrusted, and unallowed protocol commands and traffic, helping customers prevent, not just detect, cyber-attacks.

Signal-Integrity

Including the patented ability to read source-based electronic signals from individual processes, use proprietary algorithms to conduct vertical and horizontal process signal integrity validation, and ensure HMI readings shown to facility managers are accurate to help customers prevent signal spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks or simply system failures.

Mission Secure is the only vendor in the market to offer this level of ICS/OT network protection and process validation.

The company’s patented technology is military strength, industrial grade for the harshest, most critical environments.

To date, Mission Secure is the only competitor offering operational process validation and protection, both patented technologies resulting from years of research with the U.S. military and the University of Virginia.

This nomination comes on the heels of the Mission Secure Platform being named ‘HOT COMPANY IN ICS/SCADA SECURITY’ by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), a leading electronic information security magazine.
