Today's planes, trains, and tanks, to name just a few examples, rely on complex internal data networks that are susceptible to cyber attack. Shift5 provides cyber security products to prevent, detect, and alert against hacks on these internal data bus networks. By mitigating the entire attack life cycle against an OT system, Shift5 provides a unified security solution that enables system operators, maintainers, managers, and incident responders. We go one step further - by providing enriched system data for operations analysts searching for cost savings, or revenue opportunities.
