The Challenges
Understanding the Cyber security Challenges For Public Water Systems
Securing cybersecurity in Industrial Control Systems for public water infrastructure presents unique obstacles. As technology evolves with features like cloud integration, big data, remote connections, and always-on equipment, once localized industrial control systems are now part of a far-reaching network. These increasing connectivity needs make industrial control systems susceptible to both known and sophisticated threat actors, including state-backed entities.
When you mix a corporate system outage, which affects brand image and finances, with a public water system malfunction, the stakes become significantly higher – public health.
However, conventional corporate IT solutions, like regular updates and antivirus installations, aren’t always feasible for industrial control systems. The stop-gap solutions of VPNs and shared desktop tools are becoming obsolete due to three main challenges:
The Users
Your users are as unique as your organisation. They are made up of employees, system integrators, outsourced teams, and even manufacturer support. This makes distinct identity management and robust multi-factor authentication a near-impossible task.
The Solution
Agilicus AnyX: Leverage Zero Trust to Improve Cyber security for Public Water Infrastructure
Agilicus AnyX introduces a Zero Trust framework tailor-made for industrial control systems in public water utilities Zero Trust is the best current practice for Cybersecurity in Industrial Control Systems for Public Water Infrastructure. It integrates effortlessly with existing networks and offers an affordable and low-risk method to enhance both efficiency and security. Whether you already have deployed an IEC-62443 Zone and Conduit model, or are driven more by the Purdue Model, Agilicus provides a low-risk method to enhance both efficiency and security.
Better User Experience. Better Security
Authentication
Trust starts with identity. Instead of relying on shared passwords, Agilicus AnyX uses federated authentication, from existing identity providers (Microsoft Entra, Okta, Google Workplace, Microsoft Active Directory, etc). This allows users like “jane@manufacturer.domain” to securely access the system without compromising security.
Full Access Control and Visibility
Authorisation
With Agilicus AnyX, system access isn’t binary. You can specify user roles at granular levels, ensuring that users only access what they are supposed to. Moreover, every action is logged for meticulous audit trails. Fine-grained authorisation is necessary for cybersecurity in Industrial Control Systems for Public Water Infrastructure.
Invisible to the World
Access
Agilicus AnyX is designed for the modern world, offering seamless integration with existing firewalls. It uses an outbound-only connection, compatible with NAT systems and non-public IPs, ensuring any user can access any application without the need for a VPN.
