SecureSmart™ cyber emissions monitor

True air-gapped, continuous and autonomous cyber monitoring for ICS equipment

The SecureSmart cyber emissions monitor is a highly portable, anomaly detection system that can assess the integrity and operational state of protection system equipment based on non-intrusive monitoring of device radio frequency (RF) emissions in a substation and other ICSs. Utilities and other industries need a fast, reliable and easy to deploy monitoring and detection solution to defend critical embedded devices against malware.

Internet of Things (IoT) and industrial control systems (ICS) are high-value targets for cyberattacks. Most devices on these networks are susceptible to evolving threats and are not protected by traditional cyber monitoring or prevention techniques. As the threat environment escalates, it’s not a matter of if, but when, these devices will become compromised. SecureSmart cyber emissions monitor provides a true air-gapped detection capability, which is portable, easy to install, and delivers continuous and autonomous detection and alerting to identify suspect equipment.

How it works

All electronic processors produce unintended side effects such as power consumption, electromagnetic leakage and sound. Our solution analyzes and correlates these side effects with device behavior to determine if a device is operating normally or if it has been compromised. The SecureSmart cyber emissions monitor provides a true air-gapped defense that has no electrical path between the monitoring system and the devices being monitored. This means that an attacker cannot examine an exploited device for signs that it is being monitored—preventing the attacker from identifying and then attacking the monitoring system.  

Our solution uses a Rogowski coil antenna attached near the protected device(s) to capture its RF emissions. The cyber emissions monitor then analyzes the emissions and tracks them against a baseline model of normal RF activity from the same device. If an anomaly is detected, sensors will send alerts over a forensics network to activate monitoring platforms. The cyber emissions monitor dashboard displays the total anomalies as well as the collectors detected and alerts sent—providing a real-time status report of the protected device.
