Isolating ICS/OT
Network Access

Hysolate lets you isolate access to OT networks and ICS alongside non-sensitive work, on one workstation.

Protecting Access to OT Networks and ICS

OT networks / ICS that control mission-critical infrastructure are becoming the target of sophisticated and potentially catastrophic cyberattacks. Human error can also have disastrous consequences. IT, field engineers and operators should access these systems from a standalone air-gapped endpoint. However, as systems become more connected, they depend on internet-based updates and third-party vendor access. In many cases they might be accessed by endpoints that are connected both to IT and OT networks, exposing ICS to significant risk.

Hysolate lets users access both environments on one physical workstation, each in its own, fully isolated virtual machine, keeping OT systems safe.

Before and After

Users with multiple physical machines quickly run out of desk space and have to spread out to other areas. They often do workarounds and use thumb drives to avoid swiveling between laptops. This compromises security and visibility. Hysolate solves these challenges. Users use a single device to access multiple isolated security domains. The organization has full visibility into cross-environment transfers. The endpoint looks and feels like a single, unified Windows desktop, with applications and websites automatically launching in the correct VM, reducing context switch time and increasing productivity. Any malware on the internet-exposed VM is fully contained within that VM, which is network-isolated from the OT network and can be wiped clean.
