June 17 2020 - 6:00AM
Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a
leading provider of cybersecurity solutions globally, has
announced the new 1570R rugged security gateway to protect networks
in critical infrastructure, Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and
SCADA systems against all types of advanced Gen V cyber-threats.
The 1570R delivers unrivalled performance, threat prevention
security technology, ease of deployment and control, and
reliability to the most demanding industrial settings such as power
plants, automated factories and maritime fleets.
Securing today’s critical infrastructure, ICS and SCADA systems
against cyber-attacks is more challenging than ever before as they
are connected to complex, distributed networks and smart IoT
devices using specialized protocols. IBM’s 2020 Threat Intelligence
Index showed that targeted attacks against ICS and SCADA
assets increased over 2,000% in 2019, often involving nation-states
or using ransomware to damage operations. The SANS 2019 State of
OT/ICS Cybersecurity Survey showed that 61% of incidents disrupted
operational technology (OT). This expanded attack surface, the move
to Industry 4.0 automation, and the rapid shift to remote working
enforced by Covid-19 lockdowns, demands the most advanced,
comprehensive security to stop threats propagating from employees’
laptops and mobiles to infect OT systems.
“During the Covid-19 pandemic, attacks have increased against
the OT networks and ICS/SCADA systems that manage critical
infrastructure for energy, manufacturing, transportation, and
utilities. The disruption these attacks caused has made security a
higher priority – but it must also be easy for organizations to
deploy, with automated protection that does not impact day-to-day
operations,” said Robyn Westervelt, IDC’s Research Director,
Security & Trust. “Check Point’s ICS Security solution and
1570R gateways couple network segmentation with automation and
threat intelligence to protect critical infrastructure and prevent
even the most sophisticated cyber-attacks from impacting production
operations.”
The new 1570R Gateway delivers:
- Industry-leading performance and
protection: 400 Mbps of Threat Prevention performance
with over 60 security services to stop even zero-day attacks from
disrupting operations. It enforces complete segmentation between IT
and OT networks, and gives granular control across the OT
environment.
- Complete security for complex SCADA & ICS
environments: it identifies and secures over 1,500
leading SCADA and ICS protocols and commands used in the utility
and energy sectors, manufacturing, building management systems and
IoT devices. The 1570R flexibly supports wired, Wi-Fi or LTE modem
network connections, enabling easy, flexible security for smart
city applications (smart parking meters, bus stops, smart lighting,
environmental sensors) and smart grids (smart meters, substation
automation).
- Rugged form factor: the 1570R’s
solid-state form factor enables an extreme operational range from
-40C to +75C. It is certified to the most stringent specifications
(IEEE 1613 and IEC 61850-3) for heat, vibration, and immunity to
electromagnetic interference.
"Targeted attacks against critical infrastructure and ICS
increased by 20X during 2019 and have spiked again this year during
the Covid-19 lockdowns, as hackers look to exploit remote-working
vulnerabilities. The ‘Industry 4.0’ revolution is already well
advanced, and will be further accelerated in response to the
pandemic, so it is vital that we protect these infrastructures,
from the shop floor and field to the cloud,” said Aviv Abramovich,
head of security services management at Check Point. "The 1570R
gateway is optimized to deliver and automate that protection in the
harshest industrial environments and remote locations, to prevent
even advanced attacks from causing disruption and damage."
The 1570R complements Check Point’s existing range of security
gateways that deliver full visibility and granular control of all
network traffic to prevent attacks on networks, devices and logical
processes. These security appliances are managed via the latest R80
Security Management software, which supports zero-touch deployment
and centralized network management via its intuitive web-based user
interface.
The new 1570R replaces the 1200R rugged gateway. Full details
