Water treatment systems are crucial for supporting local municipalities. Failure to protect these systems can result in dangerous mistreatments or outages, causing far-reaching consequences for thousands of residents and businesses. Traditional IT security processes (patching and vulnerability management) are often insufficient as these proprietary systems may not have readily available patching. Blue Ridge Networks isolates treatment systems behind secure enclaves, protecting them from outside threats. This protection is augmented by cryptographically secure authentication and protected data communication.
