Oil & Gas

Securing continuity of upstream, midstream and downstream operations for the Oil & Gas industry.

The Challenges with Remote Access in OT environments

IT-centric remote access tools & solutions were never not built to ensure the security, integrity, and continuity of OT environments.

Whilst these products provide access to these networks and their devices, the underlying network security, configuration, and control falls short, leaving our most sensitive devices and applications vulnerable to threat actors.

Shared accounts and device credentials
Lateral movement
Single-factor authentication
Overly permissive network access
No remote access visibility
Minimal remote access controls
No documentation of who accessed what
Complex firewall and network management

The limitations of these solutions can include:

Shared accounts and device credentials
Lateral movement
Single-factor authentication
Overly permissive network access
No remote access visibility
Minimal remote access controls
No documentation of who accessed what

How secure is your Remote Access Solution?

Industry Solutions

Rely on VPNs and Jumpboxes to provide users remote access to the engineering workstation.
Provide third party users (OEMs) too much access with little control of users within the OT network.
Are unable to lock down users to individual devices or applications running within the OT network.
Lack the visibility & auditability of who accessed what and when.

Dull

Isolates & microsegments employees and third parties to individual services or applications running within the IT/OT network.
Establishes just-in-time mTLS network connections to that are provisioned on the fly and torn down after each connection.
Securely logs all remote connections with the ability to jump in and watch a live connection.
Provides secure and flexible configuration to suit any TCP/IP protocol or legacy device.

Why Dull?

Securing high-value targets with Dull

Log every interaction

Understand who is connecting to what within the OT network with rich data around the user, the connecting device, the authenticating device, the protocol, the IP address as well as the historical recording of remote connection.

Increase productivity

Securely create, manage, and control remote access for any user, to any asset, across any site, within a matter of clicks.

Ensure flexibility and scalability

Use Dull to provide remote access to any modern or legacy device, service or application within the OT network.

Isolated Remote Access

Lockdown remote access sessions to an individual device, service or application with end-to-end encryption and just-in-time network access.

Multi-layered MFA

Enforcing multi-factor authentication on users, devices and critical services running on site, by adding layered MFA across mission critical services.

Moving Target Defense

Randomise the IP address and Port number for each remote connection, making it impossible to predict what IP and Port number will be used to connect to the destination service.

Ephemeral Virtual Machines

Provision remote access to fully isolated and non-persistent virtual machines that enable the operational environment to meet the precisive operational requirements of a customer.

Session Recording

Capture the full remote access session within a secure and non-invasive operating system locked down to the particular device, service or application.

Session Shadowing

Jump into any live remote access session and observe every interaction the users are performing to the destination service with the ability to terminate active session.

Secure Credential Launching

Centrally manage your IT/OT devices and applications without revealing the username or password to the end user.

Full Connection Logs

Understanding who was accessing what and when with detailed session logging of the user's initiating device, MFA device, IP address, the PID, subsequent network session, admin authentication and more.

SOC/NOC Integrations

Use Dull a part of your security operations to build a comprehensive approach to analyse, detect and response to any cyber security incident.
