CyberX vs Symantec Embedded Security: Critical System Protection [EOL] comparison

CyberX helps secure the Industrial Internet by providing complete visibility into the OT Network as well as real-time detection and alerts of operational incidents, cyber threats and system tampering, in order to minimize disruption to operations and downtime. Seamlessly connecting to an existing OT network, our flagship platform, XSense, provides instant results by collecting data from across the OT environment utilizing Big Data and Machine Learning to optimize the detection of operational behaviors. Supporting security needs of industries such as energy and utilities, oil and gas, chemical and pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, transportation and more, XSense monitors physical devices to detect operational incidents and cyber-attacks.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) begins transforming entire industries, threats are quickly evolving to target this rich and extremely vulnerable new landscape. With each industry embedding computing and connectivity into a wide variety of devices, such as cars, jet engines, factory robots, medical equipment, and industrial programmable logic controllers (PLCs), the consequences of security issues are increasingly serious. Consequences now include physical harm to people, prolonged downtime, and irreparable damage to capital equipment such as pipelines, blast furnaces, and power generation facilities, particularly in the industrial IoT.
