Case Study: Fortinet achieves secure protocol isolation for OT access with XONA CSG

Fortinet ranks protocol protection 2nd with XONA

Fortinet, a cybersecurity company, highlighted the critical need to protect operational technology (ICS) protocols, which their own report ranked as a top priority. The challenge was securing these environments, especially with the convergence of IT and OT networks, which increased vulnerabilities and made protocols like RDP, SSH, and VNC potential entry points for attackers.

XONA addressed this challenge with its Critical System Gateway (CSG), which employs protocol isolation. This approach confines protocol activity to a secure network zone, converting data streams into an encrypted interactive video for user access. The solution from XONA prevents direct connections to critical assets, eliminating common attack vectors and enabling secure remote operations for critical infrastructure.
