Securing the World’s critical infrastructure

OpenBlue Airwall protects your most critical assets by making them invisible to threats—without compromising secure access from anywhere. With true micro segmentation, it locks down every endpoint across your network, isolates issues instantly, and accelerates containment and recovery.

The result? Resilient, zero-trust security that’s built to move as fast as your business.

Agile

Because identity is not tied to location, when an asset moves, policy follows.

Manageable

Remove complexity by simplifying creation and enforcement of policies.

Closing the operational technology (OT) security gap

At the heart of cyberattacks, network insecurity and specifically TCP/IP are central to virtually every cybercrime. Why? 

The traditional air gap disappears when sensors and devices are connected using TCP/IP on hybrid networks. This is where OpenBlue Airwall comes in.

Using a transformative technology that protects any type of connected device from cyberattacks, Airwall protects critical infrastructure with the industry's only identity-based, zero trust platform.

OpenBlue Airwall enables

Cloaking

Protect critical infrastructure from discovery & attack.

Secure remote access

Manage employees, vendors, third parties.

Edge to cloud

Secure data transport from critical infrastructure to cloud and back.

Airwall benefits

  • A complete zero trust portfolio.
  • Securely connect anything, anywhere over any network.
  • Private overlay networks on top of existing infrastructure, no need to rip and replace.
  • Easy to manage identity-driven policies.
  • Micro-segmentation with end-to-end encryption.
  • Reduces attack surface by 95% while reducing cost and complexity by 50-80%.

"I wanted something we could easily deploy to reploy secure the infrastructure. Now we have a private and isolated network for our BAS systems. It's now simple and fast to connect and segment any  building controls over any network."

- T.W. System Design Specialist, Major US University

How does it work?

  • Creates private overlay networks based on encrypted tunnels and trusted cryptographic identities to secure network traffic.
  • Airwall provides total control over communications.
  • Single pane of glass management console provides simple, scalable, and extensible policy management between things.
  • Based on Host Identity Protocol (HIP), an open IETF standard developed to fix the lack of mobility and security flaws of TCP/IP.

Why OpenBlue Airwall?


End-to-end encryption
HIP tunnels ensure secure traffic between devices, no intercepted traffic over a global network. Set up your private overlay network independent of network perimeters.
Identity-based policies
Easily align security policies with identity of users and devices. Authorization restricted to cryptographic ID and multi-factor authentication.
OT visibility
Combine secure communication and policy enforcement with traffic visibility, correlation and threat detection with our ability to mirror traffic to third-party threat detection solutions.
Software-defined orchestration
Simplify management and orchestration of security policies, protected devices, authorized users and groups and globally managed private networks through centralized software-defined controller.
Connect anything-anywhere securely
Easy to deploy over any IP network for remote access and cloud applications. Avoid fork-lift upgrades and vendor architecture lock-in.
Incident containment
Micro segmentation isolates faults or intrusions, enabling quicker recovery and containment.

Airwall works with any network infrastructure

Airwall provides a completely private overlay network on top of shared, public, or even compromised infrastructure

Built on a secure foundation

OpenBlue Airwall uses the more modern Host Identity Protocol (HIP) to implement a zero trust model before connections are even established. This IETF standard natively encrypts, microsegments, and securely connects, reducing your attack surface, eliminating unauthorized access, lateral movement, and malware propagation.
