Securley migrate your vulnerable, unsupported x86 apps
Go beyond Zero Trust with NeverTrust™
Securing Your Operational Technology Software and Devices To NIS2 Cyber Status
Droplet helps extend the life of your Operational Technology software and devices
Operational technology devices are expensive and are normally manufactured to have an average lifespan of twenty to thirty years, but how do you keep the software that manages, maintains and operates them, secure and up to date with the latest versions of Windows operating systems.
Unfortunately, many OT devices rely on aging software, which may also rely on an out of date plugin, such as internet explorer or Java, which will only work on a Windows XP or Windows 7. It’s also very common for these devices to connect to the OT device via an old serial or parallel port.
Droplet NeverTrustTM Containers ~ Applications Delivered ~ Secure By Design
Droplet is a Linux based software, which when installed, creates a portable, lightweight container on any operating system, cloud platform or hypervisor. Our key functionality is to deliver any x86 or 64-bit app, to the latest cyber standards, as set out by the national cyber security centre.
Security is at the heart of everything we do, when installed we create an isolation layer between our container and the operating system that we’re installed on. By default block all inbound traffic, if you’re not built inside droplet you are seen as external traffic and automatically dropped.
To prevent unauthorised access and end user privileges being elevated, we remove all admin rights from users. Then once an application’s been installed our NeverTrustTM network overlay manages who can access the apps and controls the data paths that they can take.
In summary:
Our unique NeverTrustTM model has already helped many utility, manufacturing and beverage organisations securely migrate their legacy debt software (client and server) and deliver them to a new modern operating system and help them attain the latest cyber accreditation standards up to CE ~ CE+ and NIS2.
As a result of adopting Droplet these organisations have benefited from breaking the normal software lifecycle of the software that operates and maintains their OT devices, without the costs of upgrading.
