EmberOT, a provider of industrial asset and network monitoring solutions, announced on Thursday the launch of Version 3.2. This release features several improvements that empower operators and security teams to leverage real-time data better. The update includes entirely new features, such as Gravwell integration for more data storage capability, user-friendly compliance workflows, and additional protocols. The newly streamlined interface was created with users and operators in mind and offers a useful customization capability that fosters quick and efficient decision-making.
“Our goal has always been to ensure that operators and defenders on any sized critical infrastructure or industrial campus can easily monitor and improve the security and operability of their systems,” said Jori VanAntwerp, founder and CEO of EmberOT. “These updates create a software environment in which industrial operators can make quick decisions in response to a threat or conduct long-term analysis with useful, real-time data almost effortlessly. Every improvement in EmberOT version 3.2 was made with the aim of empowering industrial operators with the specific information they need to best defend their environment.”
EmberOT is a scalable, flexible, and technology-agnostic solution for operational technology (OT) networks and industrial control systems (ICS). The software provides unparalleled visibility, risk quantification, and event data processing, empowering industrial operators to protect critical infrastructure effectively.
