SigaGuard can also deal with ransomware attacks on critical infrastructures, which are even more common these days.
The Israeli water authority, together with the Security Operations Center (SOC) service provider Cysol Networks, decided in favor of SigaGuard after a successful pilot project in which the connection of several regional water and wastewater suppliers in the country was tested with the newly established SOC to defend against cyber attacks on Israeli water became infrastructure. Last month, four well-known Israeli regional water suppliers were connected to the SOC via the SigaGuard solution.
SigaGuard tracks unhackable electrical signals from the water treatment process and, through the use of advanced AI engines and machine learning, can detect the first developments of anomalies in process behavior and send warnings. In addition, the solution requires minimal use of cybersecurity experts or expertise.
“Water utilities are at the forefront of global cyberattacks. But utilities tolerate minimal operational downtime, and no utility would agree to a hacker who decides whether or not their infrastructure is working, “said Amir Samoiloff, Co-Founder and CEO of SIGA.” The hacker’s actual surface area of attack on water utilities is limited, and SIGA has the most appropriate solution to address this threat, both from a cyber-ability and operational perspective. Our solution is simple, easy to install and focuses on level 0 surveillance. ” – the level on which the sensors and actuators of the water infrastructure are located. ”
In addition to water suppliers, the platform is aimed at utility companies, industrial plants and the chemical industry. The company is active in the USA, Singapore, Japan, Germany, Israel, the Czech Republic and the United Arab Emirates. His partners include Phoenix Contact, ST Engineering and MedOne.
