VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT
Analyzing Cyber Risks and Managing Vulnerabilities
A risk-based approach to Operational Technology (OT) security vulnerability management is a key element of business continuity and continuous improvement.
PRIORITIZATION OF EFFORTS
Focus limited resources on what matters most.
BUSINESS CONTINUITY
Proactively reduce your attack surface to protect essential operations.
COMPLIANCE
Meet industry standards and manage stakeholders.
COST EFFICIENCY
Minimizes unnecessary spending on less critical issues.
THREAT ADAPTABILITY
Stay agile in responding to emerging risks.
BETTER INCIDENT RESPONSE
Be prepared to respond and mitigate incidents to reduce recovery time.
FOXGUARD'S RISK-BASED APPROACH
OT Security Vulnerability Management
Foxguard provides a structured and effective way for organizations to prioritize and address vulnerabilities in their OT environment. This approach helps organizations improve security, comply with regulations, optimize resource allocation, and maintain business continuity in the face of evolving threats.
AIR GAPPING
Air Gapping Is NOT Vulnerability Management
Disconnecting assets from your network was once considered a way to manage cybersecurity risk. This process, called “air gapping,” does not completely protect your organization from cyber threats. The concept of Air Gap has been made obsolete by digital transformation initiatives and the ubiquitous presence of IoT/IIoT devices in the OT environment of today.

NERC CIP COMPLIANCE
Learn how our vulnerability management processes address NERC CIP compliance in the energy sector.
NEI CYBERSECURITY AND 10 CFR 73.54
Our cybersecurity experience in the U.S. Nuclear industry includes supporting more than 12 utilities, 20 plants, and 33 units with all facets of their NEI cybersecurity and 10 CFR 73.54 compliance.
MANUFACTURING IN CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
See how we manage vulnerabilities to follow CISA guidelines for manufacturers in critical infrastructure, adhering to the NIST cybersecurity framework.
TSA SECURITY DIRECTIVES
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued security directives (SDs) for rail, pipeline, and airports.
To meet these directives, the TSA requires the following:
- Identifying Critical Cyber Systems (CCS) as part of an asset inventory
- Applying security patches or documenting alternative mitigations if patches cannot be applied.
- Create an implementation plan that describes measures you’re taking to improve your cybersecurity resilience and prevent disruption and degradation to your infrastructure.
