According to Gartner[1], 60% of organisations who utilise operational technology or cyber-physical systems have yet to embark upon a cyber security journey to identify and mitigate their operational cyber risk. Sapphire are excited to announce a partnership with Check Point to accelerate the adoption of risk mitigation strategies for industrial organisations to improve their operational cyber resilience.
Sapphire has joined Check Point’s technology partner program, combining its proprietary OT asset discovery and vulnerability management platform, Dot™, with Check Point Quantum IoT Protect capability. This joint solution enhances cybersecurity for operators of operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS).
Dot™ provides in-depth visibility into OT environments, working around their unique constraints to gain 100% visibility no matter their complexity, geographical distribution, or prevalence of legacy technologies. It’s flexible deployment architecture ensures you gain visibility into even the hardest to reach areas of your OT networks. Combining this in-depth visibility with the capabilities of Check Point Quantum IoT Protect enables the automated creation of security gateway policies to reduce your operational risk through micro-segmentation and movement towards a zero-trust network architecture.
Both Quantum IoT Protect and Dot™ will save an organisation a significant amount of time compared to the manual processes they replace, leading to faster adherence to industry best practice, international standards like IEC/ISA 62443 and regulations including the NIS Directive and HSE’s OG86.
Sapphire have been a member of Check Point’s channel partner and MSSP partner programs for multiple years, and this move to additionally become a technology partner is a unique opportunity for both organisations to expand their fruitful working relationship.
