Noetic for Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity

Understand your attack surface better than the adversary.

To keep global business operating as usual, security and risk teams in charge of protecting critical infrastructure must understand exactly what they’re defending. That’s where Noetic comes in.

The Challenge in Securing Critical Infrastructure

The more an organization has at stake, the greater the reward for the adversary. With a mission-critical role in worldwide trade, supply chain and operations, it’s no surprise that critical infrastructure remains a sought-after target for cybercriminals.

Gartner® predicts that by 2025, 30% of critical infrastructure organizations will experience a security breach resulting in the halting of a mission-critical system. Secure your most accessible pathways and keep business running as usual with Noetic.

Complexity Brings Critical Infrastructure Challenges

And as sophisticated as critical infrastructure environments have become, layers of complexity combine to create the perfect storm for the adversary.

Incomplete, siloed insights

Shadow IT is not the only problem security and risk teams when it comes to understanding their attack surface. Landscapes are constantly growing and changing—and point-in-time assessments leave thousands of assets unaccounted for.

Inability to assess risk

Most teams rely on dozens of asset intelligence tools to connect the dots across their IT and OT environments. This leaves them no choice but to manually aggregate data in spreadsheets. As additional layers of computing assets get added to already complex, heterogeneous environments, it becomes even more difficult to identify critical areas of risk.

Government agencies all around the world are cracking down. For organizations, that means implementing and compiling evidence for more robust cybersecurity standards, like NERC CIP or the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.

Benefits of Noetic for Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity

By providing a multidimensional view of risk and exposure across the attack surface, Noetic builds a foundation for proactive infrastructure security.

Maintain dynamic cyber asset intelligence

Continuously discover, inventory, and manage your entire asset landscape with correlated insights gathered from data sources across the cloud and on-premises, enriched with external threat intelligence and business context.

Prioritize vulnerabilities according to risk

It is impossible to patch everything. Noetic enables teams to focus their efforts where they matter most by highlighting critical areas of risk based on asset risk, as well as leveraging open-source vulnerability data such as NIST NVD, CISA KEV and more to measure severity and exploitability.

Reduce non-compliance

Attack Path Mapping

Most data breaches occur due to the failure to apply a known available patch. Noetic empowers users to quickly identify areas that require immediate resolution based on a variety of factors, including:

  • Blast radius
  • Criticality
  • Exploitability
  • Exposure
  • Location
  • Impact to Tier-1 applications
  • Data sensitivity
  • Automated incident
  • Triage

Continuous Controls Monitoring

Every second counts when it comes to keeping the lights on. With Noetic, can automate the detection and remediation of high-risk coverage gaps before the adversary can even act.

Available workflows include:

  • Identifying and managing orphaned machines and shadow IT
  • Depreciating unused assets
  • Locating sensitive and unsecured datasets

These customizable workflows enable teams to embrace automation at their own pace. Start with simple automated ticket creation, and evolve to a self-healing security posture strategy.
