Gartner defines cyber-physical systems (CPS) protection platforms as products that discover, categorize, map and protect CPS in production or mission-critical environments outside of enterprise IT. They do so by analyzing or interacting with industrial/industry-specific protocols and operational network traffic. They understand physical process asset behavior and do not interfere with CPS operations. They can be delivered from the cloud, on-premises or in a hybrid form. Gartner defines CPS as engineered systems that orchestrate sensing, computation, control, networking and analytics to interact with the physical world (including humans). When secure, they enable safe, real-time, reliable, resilient and adaptable performance.
Gartner defines the cyber-physical systems (CPS) secure remote access products market as products that enable employees, contractors or original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to safely and securely operate, maintain or update CPS remotely. These products provide a robust mechanism to verify remote users’ authenticity and authorization, enforce granular access policies for both users and systems, ensure secure communications, and track the integrity of user actions. Organizations can deploy these products in cloud, on-premises or in a hybrid environment.
Gartner defines the embedded security for Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity market as addressing the growing security risks associated with interconnected IoT devices. It offers solutions to protect IoT devices, networks, applications, platforms and data from cyberthreats. These solutions include device security, network security, edge security, data privacy and threat detection. They are delivered as software, hardware or cloud-based services. Users of this market are diverse, ranging from individuals to large enterprises across various industries, including healthcare, manufacturing and smart cities.
The amount of information being transmitted from things continues to rise. Much of this data originates outside of the enterprise. The scale of security risks in the Internet of Things (IoT) era is therefore much greater than in the pre-IoT environment, and the 'attack surface' is much larger. Most sensor-based things have minimal computing resources, and the opportunities for antivirus, encryption and other forms of protection within things are more restricted. Therefore, IoT security products with a variety of capabilities emerged to help dispel some of these challenges.
The medical device security solutions market addresses software; hardware; and network and data protection requirements for IoMT devices. These solutions enable organizations to manage IoMT devices securely; ensure IoMT endpoint and data integrity; and perform asset discovery. They share many technologies and processes used in IT and cyber-physical systems (CPS) security, such as deep packet inspection and risk identification. Medical device security solutions can help CIOs engender trust and provide safe, secure and reliable digital care delivery products and services.
