Never-Trust vs Zero-Trust
Going Beyond Zero-Trust for the Nuclear Sector
Keeping your mission critical software and operating systems up to date can be challenging task for any organisation, especially within the Nuclear sector, where there are many legacy operational technology devices that where built with an average lifespan of 20 to 30 years, which runs on old, no longer supported operating systems.
This situation is poised to only get tougher, with Win10 support ending in Oct-25 and Server 2016 following it in Jan-27. How can the Nuclear sector ensure the security and longevity of the legacy software, essential for their legacy OT and IT systems, whilst mitigating the risks of any cyber attacks and meeting cyber accreditation standards?
On top of these IT and software related challenges, utility companies, such as the Nuclear Power Stations are now also required no meet the new NIS2 directive cyber security standards set out by European Union. Failure to pass this new framework could result in administrative fines up to £10 million or 2% of your organisations annual revenue.
How Does Droplet Help Address These Challenges
- Droplet NeverTrustTM is a container software which securely migrates any x86 or 64-bit application, and delivers them to NIS2 standards across a wide choice of operating systems, cloud platforms and support any hypervisor.
- Hardware Independence: By isolating apps from the underlying hardware, Droplet allows legacy apps to run on modern devices, extending the life of these apps while the underlying systems evolve.
- Isolated Environments: Containers provide isolated environments which reduce the attack surface. Even if a vulnerability exists in an app, Droplet minimises its impact on the broader system.
- Regular Updates to the Container Environment: While legacy applications remain untouched, the container infrastructure can be updated to meet current cybersecurity standards.
- Cross-Platform Consistency: Apps delivered via Droplet behave consistently across different platforms, reducing the risk of operational disruptions due to hardware failures or system updates.
Droplet NeverTrust™ containers can be used to securely migrate any x86 or 64-bit application to any operating system, including Windows11 and delivers them to the highest cyber accredited standards. Clients who’ve already adopted Droplet not only meet the latest cyber accreditation standards, they exceed them.
