Network IT & OT

A CyberASM service offering

Overview

CyberASM helps organisations assess and secure information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) networks. Work can include network segmentation, secure remote access, threat monitoring, incident-response planning, and support for applicable compliance requirements.

Cisco and HPE Juniper portfolios include firewalls, secure access, SASE, routing, switching, and wireless. AtmosX's local-first focus on IT, OT, and IoT operational resilience can also inform work in connected environments.

Network Management

Overview

Network management tools can help map devices, analyse traffic, and automate routine tasks such as configuration backups. Available integrations and features depend on the selected tools and network equipment.

Common capabilities include:

• Network Mapping: View device relationships and network topology to support planning and troubleshooting.

• Configuration Backups: Automate backup and restore workflows for supported devices.

• Traffic Analysis: Review connected devices, application use, and traffic flows.

• Device Integration: Connect supported network devices through protocols such as SNMP and SSH.

• Monitoring and Alerts: Monitor network health and review alerts that may indicate security or availability issues.

Network Consulting Services

Overview

Network consulting helps organisations assess, design, implement, and manage network infrastructure. Engagements can include configuration, troubleshooting, and knowledge transfer for internal IT teams.

Areas of support can include:

• Network Assessment: Assess the current network to identify strengths, risks, and improvement opportunities.

• Design & Planning: Develop a network architecture plan and select routers and switches that fit your integration and growth requirements.

• Implementation & Configuration: Hands-on support to install and configure network devices to meet agreed performance and security requirements.

• Troubleshooting & Maintenance: Ongoing support to monitor network performance, diagnose and resolve issues, and perform regular maintenance to minimise downtime.

• Security Controls: Apply appropriate controls, such as firewalls and secure access policies, based on the network assessment.

• Knowledge Transfer: Guidance for in-house IT teams on managing and maintaining the network, empowering them with the necessary skills and knowledge.

Network Security

Overview

Network security combines controls such as firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention, VPNs, access management, and segmentation to reduce exposure and contain threats.

Controls can include:

• Firewalls: Monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic to prevent unauthorised access and protect against cyber threats.

• Intrusion Detection and Prevention: Monitor network traffic and alert on, or block, activity that matches configured threat rules.

• Virtual Private Networks (VPNs): Encrypt traffic between remote users and the organisation's network to help protect communications in transit.

• Access Control: Restrict network access to authorised users and devices according to defined policies.

• Endpoint Protection: Coordinate network controls with endpoint security to help detect and contain malicious software.

• Network Segmentation: Divide networks into zones to restrict unnecessary communication and limit the spread of incidents.

OT Networks

Overview

OT network security focuses on protecting industrial control systems and critical operations while accounting for availability and safety requirements. Services can include network assessment, segmentation, monitoring, endpoint controls, and secure remote access.

Areas of support can include:

• OT Assessment: Review network architecture and identify security and availability risks, with prioritised recommendations.

• Threat Monitoring: Monitor supported OT network telemetry for activity that may require investigation.

• Network Segmentation: Define zones and communication paths to help contain incidents and protect critical systems.

• Asset Visibility: Identify connected devices and improve visibility into network changes and communications.

• Secure Remote Access: Apply access controls such as VPN and multi-factor authentication where supported.

• Standards Support: Map security recommendations to relevant industry standards and operational requirements.
