==FIREWALL PANIC BUTTON FOR QUARANTINING OPERATIONAL TECHNOLOGY (OT) SYSTEMS FROM REAL-TIME ATTACKS ON INTERNET INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17957666 titled 'FIREWALL PANIC BUTTON FOR QUARANTINING OPERATIONAL TECHNOLOGY (OT) SYSTEMS FROM REAL-TIME ATTACKS ON INTERNET INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) SYSTEMS

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a panic button system outside a network gateway that manages OT and IT devices, authorizing actions with 2-factor MFA and quarantining OT devices from IT devices upon activation.

* Panic button system outside network gateway
* Manages OT and IT devices
* 2-factor MFA for authorization
* Quarantine of OT devices from IT devices

== Potential Applications ==
The technology could be applied in industrial settings where there is a need to quickly isolate OT devices from IT devices in case of a security breach or emergency situation.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of unauthorized access to critical network devices by providing a quick and effective way to quarantine OT devices from IT devices in case of a security threat.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include enhanced network security, quick response to security incidents, and improved overall network management and control.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Enhancing Network Security in Industrial Environments with Panic Button System"

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to network security systems that involve the isolation of devices in case of a security breach, but the specific implementation of a panic button system outside a network gateway for managing OT and IT devices may be a novel approach.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does the panic button system communicate with the network devices for quarantine purposes? ===
The article does not provide details on the communication protocol or mechanism used by the panic button system to quarantine OT devices from IT devices.

=== What are the specific steps involved in the 2-factor MFA authorization process? ===
The article does not elaborate on the specific steps or technologies used in the 2-factor MFA authorization process triggered by the physical activation of the panic button.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A panic button is configured and disposed outside a network gateway, managing integrated OT network devices and IT devices, for access by a user. Responsive to physical activation of the panic button, a 2 factor MFA authorizes the action with an authorized user. Upon authorization, the OT network devices are quarantined from the IT network devices to prevent malicious actions.
