2. AGENDA: SYSKEYOT OVERVIEW The Security Challenges Introduced by IIoT Difficulty in Monitoring and Threat Detection How SyskeyOT Helps Secure Connected OT Devices

3. SYSKEYOT OVERVIEW: • The integration of IIoT into OT environments boosts efficiency but expands the cyberattack surface. • Key challenges include increased vulnerabilities, lack of visibility, legacy system risks, and monitoring difficulties. • Real-world incidents show how poorly secured devices can compromise critical infrastructure. • SyskeyOT offers tools like Scribbler Log Manager, Asset Manager, and Windows Agent to secure OT networks. • These solutions provide visibility, threat detection, and centralized control, making OT cybersecurity for IIoT environments stronger and more reliable.

4. DIFFICULTY IN MONITORING AND THREAT DETECTION THE SECURITY CHALLENGES INTRODUCED BY IIOT • IIoT devices often operate on proprietary or non-standard protocols that are not compatible with traditional IT security solutions such as antivirus, EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), or even standard SIEM tools. Many of these devices lack logging capabilities or cannot support modern encryption standards. • Example: During the TRITON malware incident in 2017 (which targeted industrial safety systems in the Middle East), attackers exploited a weakness in the network’s segmentation and visibility. While the malware itself targeted safety controllers, the inability to detect abnormal communications from newly integrated devices played a major role in the delayed response. This reflects the need for tailored OT cybersecurity for IIoT environments. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) brings clear operational benefits. But the issue is, its integration into OT/ICS networks introduces unique cybersecurity challenges that are often underestimated. These devices are frequently deployed for efficiency and data collection, but they are not always designed with security in mind. There are key risks that emerge with the adoption of IIoT, each with practical implications for critical infrastructure environments.

5. HOW SYSKEYOT HELPS SECURE CONNECTED OT DEVICES • As OT networks expand with the integration of IIoT devices, ensuring consistent visibility, control, and protection across all endpoints becomes critical. SyskeyOT offers a suite of specialized tools designed to meet the unique cybersecurity needs of industrial environments helping organizations monitor, manage, and secure their connected OT assets effectively and efficiently. • Scribbler Log Manager • Scribbler Log Cockpit • SyskeyOT Asset Manager • Asset Cockpit • Windows Agent
