Network Intelligence Signs Partnership with Tripwire
As a result of this partnership, Network Intelligence will provide to companies in the Oil & Gas, Power, Manufacturing and other critical infrastructure space.
Network Intelligence (NII), a global cybersecurity services provider, has now teamed up with Tripwire, a global leader in IT operations and cybersecurity, to provide protection for critical infrastructure by setting up a specialized Cybersecurity Operations Centre. This strategic partnership will enable Network Intelligence to monitor & protect customers’ operational technology (OT) networks using Tripwire’s world-class solutions.
A number of research works have suggested that cybersecurity incidents in industrial control environments have their roots in multiple vectors such as system vulnerabilities, network architecture loopholes, lack of network segmentation and unsecured hardware and software configuration.
As a result of this partnership, Network Intelligence will provide to companies in the Oil & Gas, Power, Manufacturing and other critical infrastructure space:
Ability to detect and profile critical assets
Determine vulnerabilities
Identify rogue devices
Provide secure network access
Control access to sensitive and confidential data
Orchestrate information sharing and policy-based security workflows
Alex Bagwell, Global Channel Director of Tripwire, said that industrial security continues to be a top priority and asset visibility is the first line of defense to prevent intrusions into the network. By partnering with a strong MSSP player like Network Intelligence, the company further expands its offerings in the Industrial Cybersecurity space to a larger market landscape. NII is already experienced in the ICS cybersecurity space and they strongly believe that this partnership will help open up more avenues for joint business, he said.
K K Mookhey, Founder & CEO of Network Intelligence, said that with the advent of Industrial IoT and Digital Transformation, previously air-gapped industrial networks are now connected to the cloud and the threats that come along with it. Their partnership with Tripwire, enables them to offer specialized cybersecurity monitoring, detection and incident response capabilities clients’ ICS networks, which has been neglected so far. They are confident that they will be able to continue the same success as they are seeing in the IT Cybersecurity SOC services, he said.
