IXDen uses ‘behavioral biometrics’ to protect critical systems against ransomware and hackers

Industrial managers place a lot of trust in the proper operation of their control systems.  Failed or compromised industrial devices can lead to safety and environmental incidents.  Costly equipment could also be damaged and lead to extended operational disruptions.  These risks can’t be eliminated, but companies can do things to mitigate them.

Israel’s IXDen is releasing a new software solution that will allow customers to protect a range of IoT devices with post-password authentication. Dubbed IXDen Smart Homes, the platform can be installed on virtually any smart device – including smart thermostats, smart routers, and smart cameras – securing them with multi-factor authentication that guards against cyberattacks and data theft.

The integrity of sensors and actuators is critical to the safe and profitable operations of industrial processes. However, the lack of visibility into the heath of those sensors and actuators makes it challenging to ensure their integrity.  Intentional actions (e.g., tampering, data manipulation, data injection, sensor replacement) and unintentional events (e.g., miscalibration, sensor drift) impact integrity.
