Cynalytica

“Cynalytica’s primary commercially available offering is the SerialGuard AnalytICS Platform, composed of SerialGuard and the AnalytICS Engine, which together collect and analyze serial communications data as well as identify cyber and operational anomalies in legacy industrial control systems (ICS). Designed for ICS in response to advanced attacks like Stuxnet, SerialGuard™ is a high-performance, fully passive, serial packet sniffer that enables secure visibility at the lowest layers of vulnerable legacy networks. The fail-safe sensor passively monitors Level 0 and Level 1 serial communications between field devices and controllers. SerialGuard installs seamlessly into supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and other legacy control systems. SerialGuard encapsulates the passively captured serial communications data into an encrypted TCP data packet, which is sent out over TCP/IP to the AnalytICS Engine. The AnalytICS Engine operates as an intrusion detection system (IDS) and operational health monitoring platform, offering operators the ability to securely capture, baseline, and analyze trends in serial communications collected by SerialGuard through its powerful suite of data visualization and analysis tools. Newly developed, OT OptICS is Cynalytica’s managed service offering for end users and system integrators and features the industry’s first machine learning-powered anomaly detection platform for serial communications.
