Edge SDN

Edge SDN builds a robust zero trust security shield for industrial IoT networks. Employing host isolation, micro-segmentation, and deep traffic control, Edge SDN proactively prevents malicious activity and ensures your network remains secure in the event of threats. - Prevents a compromised host from impacting other devices within the network, ensuring containment and limiting the spread of threats. - It allows the continuous use of resources even if compromised, minimizing downtime while maintaining operational efficiency. - It ensures a high level of security independent of the user's actions or operator's behavior, providing peace of mind regardless of internal activities. Edge SDN uses a central management console that oversees and manages the entire industrial network, supporting both standard OpenFlow SDN and non-SDN compatible switches. The console makes it easy to create custom security profiles for each device, implementing three main features: 1. Each device is isolated from the others on the network. If a host tries to scan the network, it will not detect other devices, as if it were the only one connected, effectively preventing network-wide scanning attempts. 2. By creating micro-segmentation rules, Edge SDN allows selective connectivity between IoT resources by enabling only specific protocols. 3. By creating micro-segmentation rules, Edge SDN does not allow East-West traffic within LANs/VLANs that could be exploited by cyber attackers to prepare and launch an attack. 4. When a host is compromised, its behavior deviates from the norm. Edge SDN's deep traffic control detects this anomaly as the host begins sending suspicious packets. Edge SDN creates an impenetrable security shield for industrial IoT networks, ensuring that business continuity is maintained even during an attack. If a resource is compromised, it remains operational due to its isolation, preventing the spread of the attack and protecting the integrity of the wider network.
