For the second consecutive year, OPSWAT has been named a gold winner in three categories for the 2023 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. The categories include ICS/SCADA Security, Web Application Security, and Cybersecurity Solution for the Energy Industry.
The 2023 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards recognize companies, products, and professionals that demonstrate excellence, innovation, and leadership in information security. The winners have been selected based on the strength of their nomination as well as the popular vote by members of the Information Security Community.
ICS/SCADA Security
OPSWAT is a leading provider of comprehensive, zero-trust ICS/SCADA security solutions, offering a range of products that protect multiple zones within the Purdue Model. Trusted by over 1,500 global organizations, OPSWAT's solutions safeguard critical operational assets from a variety of threats.
In many OT environments, air gaps are used to protect networks from outside attacks. However, files containing important updates and reports still need to be transferred safely in and out of these networks. That's where OPSWAT's MetaDefender Kiosk comes in. This powerful solution scans, sanitizes, and ingests files, ensuring that they are safe to use before they are moved into a secure network. With support from more than 30 anti-virus engines, Deep CDR, vulnerability assessment, and country of origin detection, MetaDefender Kiosk provides a comprehensive defense against a wide range of threats. Additionally, OPSWAT's MetaDefender Managed File Transfer provides a safe and secure storage solution for these files once they have been checked and sanitized.
To further enhance security, OPSWAT's MetaDefender Unidirectional Security Gateway (USG) ensures one-way communication between critical networks, ensuring that they remain secure and compliant. OPSWAT MetaDefender OT Security provides continuous monitoring and asset visibility, creating a neural map of all OT assets and enabling organizations to detect and respond to changes or threats.
In addition to these solutions, OPSWAT MetaDefender Industrial Firewall provides a last line of defense against threats when sending commands from an engineering workstation. This inline industrial firewall ensures that any commands being sent meet the profile that has been set. Finally, Secure Access OT is OPSWAT's industrial secure remote access appliance, offering granular access control that is more precise than VPNs and minimizes the OT attack surface.
Overall, OPSWAT offers a complete portfolio of effective and reliable security solutions for ICS/SCADA environments, trusted by organizations worldwide to protect their most critical operational assets.

Web Application Security
File uploads are a critical component of most web applications and services; however, they present a significant security risk since cybercriminals can compromise servers and entire systems by uploading malicious files. OPSWAT’s Web Application Security solution incorporates OWASP best practices to mitigate threats with zero-trust technologies such as Proactive Data Loss Prevention (DLP), malware multiscanning, file-based vulnerability assessment, Deep CDR and more – ensuring organizations can easily implement our solution to address growing concerns around increased threats. OPSWAT’s Web Application Security solution detects malicious payloads, exploitable vulnerabilities, and hidden sensitive information in an easy-to-deploy, use, and monitor platform.
Further, OPSWAT offers plug-and-play integrations with existing infrastructures, including ICAP integrations with load balancers, web application firewalls (WAFs), and proxies that might already be deployed, as well as out-of-the-box support for cloud services providers like AWS (Amazon Web Services) and Microsoft Azure. The solution also supports Windows and Linux OS, AMI, or container deployments to support traditional or micro-services architectures. By acting as a one-stop-shop for web application security, OPSWAT’s solution provides robust cybersecurity protection for organizations looking to mitigate file-upload threats. The single platform approach eliminates the need for multiple tools and solutions, therefore reducing operational costs and the time it takes to manage those disparate tools and processes and allowing security teams to spend more time on strategic efforts.

Cybersecurity Solution – Energy Industry
Threats to the energy sector include potentially malicious content on transient devices that are used to transfer data in and out of air-gapped networks, which could jeopardize the safety and reliability of the physical systems needed to keep the energy industry running smoothly.
OPSWAT offers advanced end-to-end threat prevention and detection solutions and zero-trust technologies that enable safe and compliant usage of removable media and transient devices. To start, MetaDefender Kiosk helps prevent employees, contractors and visitors from introducing threats into facilities. They act as digital security guards at entry and exit points - scanning, sanitizing, and ingesting files from all removable media at the point of entry, providing safe transport of the file into the OT environment.
Energy customers also leverage OPSWAT’s MetaDefender Managed File Transfer for secure file storage and retrieval, allowing approved access to sanitized files within the network. This offers outbreak prevention, secure data flow processes, and even more visibility and control.
OPSWAT zero-trust solutions for transient assets and files not only help the energy sector comply with industry regulations but help prevent breaches, protect against malicious devices, and secure multiple content and device delivery routes.
Recognition by the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards program follows a year of innovation and growth for OPSWAT, including the product launches of Mobile Kiosk and MetaDefender Cloud Email Security, expansion of CIP labs around the globe, and much more.
