Advenica Recognized as a Representative Vendor in Market Guide for Operational Technology Security by Gartner

With the drive toward digitalization, Operational Technology (OT) management
infrastructures and networks are faced with integrating with traditional IT
solutions in order to manage costs and reduce complexity. Gartner refers to this
as the IT/OT convergence. Safely and securely bridging the IT/OT gap while
ensuring availability and reliability are the key considerations when thinking
about OT security.
Gartner Inc., a research and advisory firm, defines operational technology as
“hardware and software that detects or causes a change through the direct
monitoring and/or control of physical devices, processes and events in the
enterprise.” Examples of this technology include SCADA systems and
process/industrial control networks.

In their May 2016 “Market Guide for Operational Technology Security report,”
Gartner states that by 2020, spending on OT security will double due to
increasing attacks on critical industrial infrastructure and subsequent
regulatory responses.”

"We are very pleased to see Advenica included in Gartner’s OT Security market
guide as a Representative Vendor in the OT Security category. We understand the
challenges facing critical infrastructure today with their need to optimize
production, save resources and find new ways to serve their customer base.
Sharing of information without comprise is a vital component.”

Lisa Quinn, Commercial Product Manager Cross Domain Solutions, Advenica

Advenica’s Cross Domain Solutions have been purpose built to enable OT
environments to connect with IT networks in order to securely manage data flows
and share critical information based on an organization’s information security
policies.
