Accurate Vulnerability Detection

Cylera aggregates vulnerability data from trusted third-party sources—such as the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and databases from IoT device manufacturers—specifically targeting devices used in manufacturing.

By employing advanced machine learning algorithms and continuous monitoring, the platform swiftly and accurately identifies vulnerabilities within factory environments. This empowers manufacturing IT and security teams to rapidly detect and remediate risks, ensuring the integrity of production processes and minimizing downtime.

Real-World Risk Intelligence

Cylera leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence to aggregate and correlate vulnerabilities from multiple reputable third-party sources, specifically focusing on IoT devices used in manufacturing.

It integrates this data with real-time analysis of network behaviors, indicators of compromise, and expert human insights drawn from manufacturing scenarios to swiftly pinpoint emerging IoT risks within manufacturing environments.

Risk Scoring with Prioritization

Cylera delivers precise risk scoring and prioritization for IoT devices across manufacturing environments. Risk assessments consider factors such as device type, vulnerability assessments, behavioral analysis, system dependencies, usage telemetry, indicators of compromise (IOCs), and secondary controls.

This targeted approach streamlines mitigation efforts, minimizes alert noise, and shortens remediation timelines—ensuring uninterrupted production and enhanced operational safety on the factory floor.

Guided Remediation

Cylera provides detailed, step-by-step remediation guidance tailored to each identified vulnerability and IoT device risk.

This empowers IT and security teams in manufacturing to quickly and confidently address production-related risks. It also reduces errors and ensures that every team member adheres to consistent, industry-leading security practices.
