Venustech Group Industrial Firewall leads the Chinese market

FROST & SULLIVAN, the world's leading business consulting firm, recognizes Venustech Group with the 2018 China Industrial Firewall (IFW) Product Market Leader.

Venustech Group wins the IFW Market Leadership Award

The group leads with a 29.8% leading market share of IFW. With the group 's accumulating experience in the field of security and extensive research & development investment, Venustech havs become the "know-how" security expert in the industrial sector.

Ranking of the Industrial Firewall in China in 2018

By the end of 2018, China's industrial firewall market reached RMB168 million, an increase of 368.0% over 2014. The industrial firewall market is expected to reach RMB289.5 million by 2019, an increase of 72.3% over 2018. In the future, China's industrial firewall market size is expected to maintain a high growth, with a compound annual growth rate of 61.8% from 2019 to 2023.

Venustech Group’s position as a market leader is the result of substantial investment in technology research and development and understanding of the direction of advanced technology.

Venustech launched the product with the technical emphasis of "multi-form factor & automated industrial firewall". The product achieves industry-wide coverage of industrial Internet and is technically proven in large-scale industrialization deployment, such as in petroleum and petrochemical, electricity, rail transit, tobacco, chemical, advanced manufacturing, etc.

Concurrently, in the face of the industry's fragmented and differentiation needs, Venustech also launches a series of products with industry security attributes.

Implemented a special version of an industrial firewall with collaboration with China Raliways, to achieve security isolation protection for passenger systems and driving systems for high-speed railway (high-speed rail), express railway (fast rail), and intercity railway (city rail). The deployment of Venustech firewall in the industry marks the recognition of Venustech’s expertise by top industry customers;

Implemented a dedicated industrial firewall for CNC machine tools in industries such as advanced manufacturing;

Implemented a dedicated firewall for smart substation in the power industry;

Released bilingual versions in both Chinese and English, achieved breakthroughs in overseas markets such as the Middle East, Japan, and Southeast Asia, and competed with international mainstream industrial security vendors. 

Automation IFW

Builts the industry's first industrial firewall platform based on the concept of SOAR (Orchestration, Automation, and Response) technology,the platform integrates security automation with a unified security workbench (Workbench) with the support of automatic orchestration, and incident response (Response) features.

The entire platform reduces the implementation threshold for industrial users and greatly enhanced the value of the product by implementing all functions within a single product.

1. Business Security Automated learning

Security Pain Point:

Security functions are more and more complex, increasing the difficulty in terms of operation and maintenance for many traditional industrial firewalls and thus reducing the effectiveness.

Industrial firewall can achieve adequate protection through the implementation of intelligence configuration of Industrial Protocol Deep Protection (DPI), on-demand traffic control, etc.

Solution: Product enables intelligent learning, security visualization, and automatic policy programming for the business. The solution can conduct automatical learning the relationships so that users do not need to manually track industrial assets, network access relationships, industrial protocols, and industrial directives. The solution can visualize and generate corresponding security policies with the realization of one-click configuration.

2.Intelligent Protocol Customization 

Security pain points: The technology in the industrial field is fragmented. The security of private or extended protocols requires customized development, high cost, and security events sustain long duration.

The solution: A custom engine based on natural language expressions sel-defines the security rules for industrial protocols viaGUI to avoid any customized development efforts.

3.Automated Event Response

Security pain points: Security rules with errors, missing, and coarse-grained issues, etc., will not be able to realize the the expected performance of the product.

The solution: Venustech Group Industrial Firewall implements a closed-loop security incident response process, providing a good interactive platform for security event-driven optimization strategies.

The platform focus on security incidents, intelligently reminding users to optimize policies continuously and automatically generate security policies through unread events.
 

4.Bypass learning to create a new phase of industrial security deployment in stages

Security pain points: Industrial customers worry that the in-line deployment of industrial firewalls poses a high risk to infrastructure availability.

Solution: Given that infrastructure availability for an industrial system is of the highest priority. Bypass deployment model for the learning of services and scheduling of rules execution is preferred during the early stage of deployment.

This deployment model can significantly reduce entry risk threshold for customers. The security rules can achieve the same verification effect in bypass mode compared to the in-line method.

The connection to the production network is performed only when the learning and verification process is completed without any errors. Therefore, the risk for the migration can be reduced to zero.

This feature of business operations learning with the scheduling of the rules, the event response, and the verification of the entire logical chain is the first in the industry.

Comprehensive Range of IFW form factors

Due to the current state of technology fragmentation in the industrial field, general security products cannot solve the safety problems of the industry.

Venustech Group launched products to adapt to different industrial needs such as high-speed rail, subway, manufacturing network, etc. The form factors include DIN rails, fanless racks, desktop-type, CPCI single-board card-mounted, VPX single-board plug-in, fully reinforced and semi-reinforced industrial firewall.
