New infosec products of the week: April 12, 2024

The SINEC Security Guard is a new cybersecurity solution developed by SINEC, a leading provider of industrial cybersecurity services. This innovative product is designed specifically for operators in Operational Technology (OT) environments in industrial sectors such as manufacturing, energy, water and wastewater, transportation, and critical infrastructure.

The SINEC Security Guard provides automated vulnerability mapping and security management capabilities tailored to the unique needs of industrial organizations. It is designed to help industrial operators and automation experts who may not have dedicated cybersecurity expertise identify and address vulnerabilities in their production assets.

The software uses advanced threat intelligence and vulnerability databases to continuously scan production assets for known cybersecurity vulnerabilities. It can automatically assign these vulnerabilities to the specific assets they are associated with, providing prioritized recommendations for remediation based on the severity and potential impact of each vulnerability.

The SINEC Security Guard offers several key features to help industrial organizations secure their OT environments more effectively. These include:

* Continuous vulnerability scanning: The software scans production assets for vulnerabilities on an ongoing basis, ensuring that new vulnerabilities are identified and addressed as soon as they are discovered.

* Prioritized remediation recommendations: The software provides prioritized recommendations for remediation based on the severity and potential impact of each vulnerability, helping organizations focus their efforts on the most critical issues first.

* Integration with existing systems: The SINEC Security Guard can be integrated with existing industrial control systems (ICS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, allowing organizations to leverage their existing investments in security technology.

* Real-time alerts: The software provides real-time alerts when new vulnerabilities are detected or when existing vulnerabilities reach a critical threshold, enabling organizations to take action quickly to mitigate risks.

The SINEC Security Guard is an important tool for industrial organizations looking to improve their cybersecurity posture in the face of increasing threats to OT environments. By automating vulnerability identification and remediation, the software helps organizations reduce their attack surface, improve their security posture, and minimize the risk of costly downtime or damage to their production assets.

In addition to the SINEC Security Guard, other notable cybersecurity product releases from the past week include:
