Deep Threat Context

Cylera correlates detailed IoT threat data—such as vulnerabilities, indicators of compromise (IOCs), network behavior, and operational metrics—from manufacturing environments. This enables manufacturing security teams to understand the relevance and impact of threats within their specific production environment, reducing alert noise and fatigue.

Comprehensive Threat Intelligence

Cylera consolidates and enhances multiple forms of threat data—strategic, operational, tactical, and technical—into actionable intelligence for manufacturing environments. This intelligence enables manufacturing security teams to identify and neutralize threats before they disrupt production.

The detailed threat insights provided by Cylera also help manufacturing security teams prioritize and respond to risks more effectively, ensuring secure operational continuity.

Threat Remediation Guidance

Cylera provides precise, actionable guidance for remediating IoT threats, specifically designed for the manufacturing industry. This guidance is based on comprehensive analysis of device vulnerabilities, indicators of compromise (IOCs), and network behaviors within factory environments.

Security teams are equipped to swiftly and confidently address IoT device threats, improving incident response times and safeguarding the reliability of manufacturing operations.

Integrated Threat Response

The Cylera platform integrates seamlessly with the network and security tools commonly deployed in manufacturing environments.

Its compatibility with firewalls, network access control (NAC), and security information and event management (SIEM) solutions ensures that manufacturing security teams quickly receive the actionable intelligence they need for efficient threat containment and incident response.

This direct delivery of IoT threat context, intelligence, and remediation guidance enables teams to swiftly neutralize threats and safeguard production continuity.
