Why Airlock Digital : Industry

# Secure Manufacturing & Hi-Tech Operations with Airlock Digital

Foundational endpoint protection for critical systems

The Manufacturing and Hi-Tech industry faces unique security challenges, including protecting operational technology (OT) systems, securing intellectual property, and maintaining production uptime. These organizations are often targeted by cyberattacks that threaten to disrupt operations and compromise sensitive designs or trade secrets. Airlock Digital provides advanced application control capabilities to address these challenges, helping keep manufacturing and technology environments secure, operational, and compliant.

Protect Intellectual Property

Proactively secure proprietary designs, trade secrets, research, and development data from cyber threats.

Ensure Operational Continuity

Prevent malware and ransomware from disrupting production lines and critical systems.

De-Risk Compliance

Support industry regulations such as NIST and ISO 27001 with precision allowlisting and blocklisting capabilities, and audit-ready logs of all endpoint executions and execution-attempts.

Secure Legacy OT Systems

Protect equipment  running legacy operating systems such as Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and later, and Linux distributions including Red Hat 6 and later.

Reduce Cyber Risk

Minimize attack surfaces by enforcing a Deny by Default security model across IT and OT environments.

Protect Against Insider Threats

Actively block usage of any applications, scripts, or system tools - including LOLBins - with granular precision.

## How Airlock Digital Supports Manufacturing & Hi-Tech

### Deny by Default Security

Block untrusted applications, scripts, and processes to prevent unauthorized execution.

### Granular Application Control

Define trusted applications at the file, path, publisher, or process level to align with operational needs.

### Precision Blocklisting

Define which files you want to block by using a variety of launch conditions - including path, product name, publisher, version, user, command line, operating system and more - providing precise control over what is denied execution.

### File Execution Monitoring

Gain full visibility into endpoint execution and execution-attempts, enabling rapid detection and mitigation of threats.

### Integrated File Intelligence

Leverage industry-leading VirusTotal intelligence to evaluate file histories and reputations, in support of effective allowlist development.

### Immutable Audit Trails

Leverage comprehensive logs of all endpoint executions and execution-attempts to support audits and incident investigations.

## Streamline and De-Risk Compliance

Airlock Digital provides the technical controls manufacturers need to enforce strict and precision application control in a scalable, efficient manner. With near real-time execution monitoring and secure integrations with the industry’s leading cybersecurity and reporting tools, Airlock Digital was designed to help security professionals streamline and de-risk regulatory compliance.
