ANNAPOLIS, Md., April 21, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- XONA, the world's first zero-trust remote operations platform for critical infrastructure, was found compliant with NERC CIP assessment, including an architecture review, device review, and mock audit.
Cybersecurity has taken on renewed importance in 2021 as companies increasingly rely on remote access to monitor, assess, and engage critical OT infrastructure. This reality was on full display in February 2021 when a hacker remotely accessed a water treatment system in Oldsmar, Florida, underscoring the potential vulnerabilities associated with remote operations capacity.
XONA NERC CIP Compliance Demonstrates Readiness to Secure Against Cybersecurity Risks at Crucial Time
Understanding the centrality of cybersecurity when deploying remote operations capacity, XONA's audit demonstrates the company's cyber-readiness.
XONA's CSG appliance was assessed from both an auditor's and SCADA engineer's perspectives. At the same time, manual and automated scanning was performed to collect, identify, and analyze potential vulnerabilities that might impact NERC CIP compliance and information security posture.
In addition, XONA requested a policy and approach evaluation, ensuring that the company's internal protocols are consistent with ongoing compliance mandates. Securicon found XONA compliant with requirements assessed and found no critical high, medium, or low risk vulnerabilities related to the XONA CSG.
