IT, OT and cybersecurity specialist Complete Cyber has announced the launch of the Vault IoT, a “groundbreaking” solution designed to enhance Operational Technology (OT) environments. The Vault Series is specifically engineered to meet the challenges of environments where reliable internet connectivity is often a concern.
Vault is a portable, remote 4G IoT device that seamlessly integrates IoT and OT functionalities. Described as an “essential tool for industries requiring robust security” and developed with the rail industry in mind, it offers comprehensive asset viability, reliability information, discrete monitoring, and advanced analytical tools – all within a user-friendly interface.
Evan Jones, CEO of Complete Cyber, said: “Vault IoT was created to empower users to take control of their OT security without needing specialised skills or costly tools. With Vault IoT, cybersecurity is literally at your fingertips, making it easy for anyone to evaluate OT networks and gain crucial insights into their assets – no prior knowledge is required. It’s about making security accessible and actionable for everyone.”
Key features of the Vault Series include:
● Seamless IoT & OT Integration: Vault IoT bridges OT and IoT, identifying vulnerabilities and enhancing overall security.
● Compliance & Regulatory Adherence: Aligns protocols with industry standards, protecting sensitive information from cyber threats.
● Remote Monitoring and Analytics: Provides discrete monitoring and detailed insights through a user-friendly interface, even in areas with unreliable connectivity.
● Uninterrupted Operations: Designed to operate independently of traditional networks, Vault IoT ensures that operational processes remain secure and uninterrupted.
● Secure Hardening: Built-in unique one-way transfer protects against malicious injections, allowing safe connections to multiple networks.
● Secure Communications: AES-256 GSM encryption ensures data confidentiality and integrity between Vault IoT and the Cloud platform.
● Robust Construction and Specifications:
○ Processing Power: Quad-Core Arm Cortex-A76
○ Memory: 8GB RAM
○ Connectivity: 4G LTE for mobile data and Gigabit Ethernet for network scanning and report generation.
○ Power: 12V input power and a 5V battery backup with up to 1 hour of power.
○ Build Quality: Tough 2000 high-quality, durable materials ensure the device’s casing withstands harsh environments and temperature extremes of +55 – to – 15-degree environments.
Complete Cyber stated that the Vault IoT had been designed to address the dual challenges of maintaining operational efficiency and securing against cyber threats. The company (which has worked with Network Rail, Transport for London, and a range of TOCs and ROSCOs) added that its new solution would be particularly well-suited to the rail industry, which needs secure technology to guard against emerging threats and manage and maintain digital-based systems more effectively.
