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.
