CrowdStrike is a cybersecurity technology firm pioneering next-generation Endpoint protection, delivered as a single integrated cloud-based solution. CrowdStrike Falcon platform stops breaches by detecting all attacks types, even malware-free intrusions, providing five-second visibility across all current and past Endpoint activity while reducing cost and complexity for customers. CrowdStrike Falcon platform is delivered via the security industry only 100% native cloud architecture, integrated with 24/7 managed hunting capabilities and in-house threat intelligence and incident response teams. CrowdStrike unique Threat Graph harnesses the cloud to instantly analyze data from billions of Endpoint events across a global crowdsourcing community, allowing detection and prevention of attacks based on patented behavioral pattern recognition technology.

There are several components that play a role in providing security to the IoT network, these are the Xage Security Gateway, Xage Broker, Optional Xage Client Agent and Xage Cloud:

-The Xage Security Gateway

The Xage Security Gateway connects to diverse IIoT edge devices, providing Authentication and enforcement. Gateways form a Blockchain-secured fabric to store credentials and app data:

*Real-time operations independent of central connectivity

*Strength in numbers: Self-healing and mutually-protecting

*Industrial protocol support and device credential rotation

*Device lifecycle management, zero-touch provisioning

-Xage Broker

Deployed centrally, the Broker connects central services such as Active Directory with the edge fabric. It synchronizes credentials, certificates, policies and shared data between edge and center:

*Central control, decentralized autonomous edge operation

*Enables user & role based remote access with single sign-on

*Conduit for central data handling

-Optional Xage Client Agent

Deployed within an industrial device, the optional Client Agent allows the device to participate directly in the Xage Blockchain-secured IIOT fabric and lifecycle management system.

*Standards-based enrollment (EST, SCEP, via CoAP, HTTP)

*Low-power support

*Blockchain node: Increased security and tamper-proofing

*Xage Cloud

-The Xage Security Cloud

The Xage Security Cloud provides configuration, monitoring and single-pane-of-glass management of the Xage Suite, plus a central repository for shared app data.

*System Orchestration, monitoring, audit & data repository

*Attack detection and alerting

*Independent O.T. identity-management system if required

Industrial Immune System Fundamental AI technology for OT cyber defense. It works by passively learning what ‘normal’ looks like across OT, IT and industrial IoT, allowing it to detect even the subtlest signals of emerging cyber-threats in real time. This self-learning technology is protocol agnostic and can be deployed across a range of OT environments, providing full coverage of the organization without disrupting daily operations. Darktrace Antigena The world’s first Autonomous Response solution. Powered by award-winning Cyber AI, it responds to cyber-attacks in a matter of seconds - when security teams are overwhelmed or simply aren’t around. The technology works like a digital antibody, intelligently generating a targeted and proportionate response whenever a threatening incident arises in network, email or cloud environments.
