The B-Guard Cyber Rack Solution: Redefining Cybersecurity in Critical Infrastructure
n the ever-evolving domain of utility, defense and transport communication systems, the need to fortify against cyber threats and instate robust policies to combat cyberattacks has become imperative. With legacy networks transitioning to modern IP-based systems, vulnerabilities have escalated, demanding comprehensive defense strategies.
Relying solely on firewalls has proven inadequate against the heightened frequency of cyber threats. To counter unauthorized access and breaches within networks, early warning systems and intrusion detection mechanisms have emerged as crucial defensive measures. Creating isolable operational zones with automatic isolation switches in cyber-attack scenarios and conducting regular cybersecurity audits are fundamental strategies.
A Unified Network Management System bolsters operational visibility and control, monitoring network assets from central and remote locations. Balkantel’s B-Guard solution offers a comprehensive cybersecurity package addressing threats and implementing an effective defense strategy. It incorporates redundant firewalls, early detection and warning systems, intrusion detection, and network isolation switches to fortify critical infrastucture assets.
The hardware components within the B-Guard Cyber Rack include the Smart Rack Control Unit, Network decoy for intrusion detection, Network Isolation Switch for manual and automatic network isolation, Automatic Ethernet Failover Switch and an endpoint security device for network resilience. By adding an additional – hardware protection layer, these devices collectively provide real-time alerts, isolation in breach scenarios, and automatic failover protection, ensuring near-impenetrable cybersecurity.
B-Guard’s unique features lie in its automatic execution of defense strategies upon breach detection, real-time monitoring, and failover mechanisms, ensuring uninterrupted network availability and resilience. This holistic approach to cybersecurity stands as a formidable shield safeguarding critical infrastructure assets against cyber threats, breaches, and attacks, cementing B-Guard as an industry leader in cybersecurity solutions.
