Narrative

The brand narrative is a strategic tool that provides consistency and cohesiveness in how we communicate our value proposition, our beliefs, and the unique elements that make us stand out in the cybersecurity industry. It's not just about what we do, but why we do it, how we do it, and the impact we aim to create.

The following is our official brand narrative. It's designed to be flexible, ready to be used in its entirety or taken in sections as needed. While it can be directly copied and pasted, we recognize that marketing placements and collateral may sometimes require a tailored approach.

We encourage you to use the narrative thoughtfully, preserving its essence while only making necessary edits to fit your specific context. Be it a sales pitch, a blog post, a product brochure, or a social media campaign, the narrative should resonate with the intended audience and align with the platform or medium.

Remember, our brand narrative isn't a rigid script, but a living, breathing story. It's a part of every interaction, every message, and every impression we make. It's the voice of our brand that echoes our ethos, reflects our values, and reinforces our promise. Use it thoughtfully, adapt it wisely, and let it help you tell the OPSWAT story in the most compelling way possible.


The OPSWAT Story

Protecting the World’s Critical Infrastructure

Critical infrastructure is the backbone of modern society. Public and private sector organizations and their critical networks are under constant attack from bad actors looking to disrupt, divert, or outright destroy them for financial and/or political gain. Cyberattacks are increasing in frequency every year around the world and organizations are dealing with millions of dollars in fines as they struggle to meet the parameters put forth in always-changing cybersecurity regulations.

Cybercriminals are taking advantage of this complicated and complex environment to exploit any open vulnerability to maximize their gain. When that happens and these networks are compromised, our safety, our ability to connect with the world around us, and our financial stability are on the line. This makes securing our world’s critical infrastructure a global priority now, more than ever.

Our vision is a secure way of life.

Simplifying Complex Cybersecurity Challenges

You can’t solve a problem you don’t understand, and after two decades spent protecting some of the most critical environments around the world, we’ve learned that the primary cybersecurity challenges faced by organizations across the spectrum fall into three key areas:

Network Complexity

The convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) environments, cloud connections, proprietary protocols, air-gapped networks, complicated regulations, and countless other variables only make an already complex challenge even more confusing.

Technology Gaps

Most organizations lack prevention-based technology to protect their data channels from threats; in many cases they cannot identify key information like country of origin, they do not have a way to secure personal identifiable information (PII) when transferring data, they aren’t using more than a single anti-virus engine to stop malware, and they are relying on traditional sandboxes for protection.

Training Gaps

Humans are often the weakest link when it comes to any cybersecurity strategy, and this is worsened by a growing industry skills gap and insufficient access to the necessary Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) training.

We simplify how these challenges are mitigated with a one-to-one approach that addresses each challenge directly.

Comprehensive Cybersecurity Platform

Our platform spans IT and OT environments and comprises cloud-based, software-based, and hardware solutions that are integrated by design.

Technology

The OPSWAT platform is built on patented, purpose-built technology that is simple to deploy and use to defend critical infrastructure networks.

OPSWAT Academy

We deliver affordable and accessible training designed by industry professionals that provides practical CIP education and certification.

Our Cybersecurity Philosophy: Trust no file. Trust no device.

Our philosophy drives our products and defines our mission. We believe that all files and devices are malicious until they are confirmed otherwise. For that reason, we, “Trust no file. Trust no device.”

This philosophy is a cybersecurity approach that emphasizes the importance of assuming all files and devices as potential threats, regardless of their source or reputation. This philosophy helps to proactively safeguard digital assets and reduce the risk of cyberattacks and is rooted in the following key principles:

Assume All Files Are Malicious

Treat every file, whether it is from a known or unknown source, as potentially harmful until proven otherwise. This approach encourages the use of robust security measures, such as multi-scanning, content disarm and reconstruction (CDR), and data sanitization, to verify and neutralize threats.

Assume All Devices Are Compromised

Consider every device connecting to the network, including personal and company-owned devices, as potentially infected or compromised. Implement stringent access controls, endpoint security solutions, and continuous monitoring to detect and respond to threats.

Zero Trust

Embrace a “Zero Trust” approach, which involves continuous verification and validation of users, devices, and applications in a network. This model requires the implementation of security measures such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), least-privilege access, and micro-segmentation.

Defense In Depth

Adopt a multi-layered security strategy that uses various tools and technologies to provide protection at different levels, including network, endpoint, application, and data. This approach ensures that even if one layer of defense is breached, other layers remain intact to minimize the impact of an attack.

The Critical Advantage: OPSWAT’s End-to-End Cybersecurity Platform

OPSWAT has spent the last 20 years evolving our end-to-end cybersecurity platform to give public- and private-sector organizations the critical advantage needed to protect even the most complex networks. Built on our trust no file, trust no device philosophy and integrated by design, we’re solving our customers’ challenges with critical lines of defense across every level of their infrastructure.

Our comprehensive platform is underpinned by patented foundational technologies that are trusted worldwide to secure critical environments. Purpose-built to protect critical environments, these technologies provide industry-leading advanced prevention against known and unknown threats, zero-day attacks, traditional malware, AI malware, and more.

File-based Technologies

Deep CDR
Disarm active embedded threats, sanitize, and reconstruct every file to prevent zero-day attacks and advanced evasive malware.
Multiscanning
Conduct simultaneous analysis with 30+ leading anti-malware engines to detect nearly 100% of known threats.
Proactive Data Loss Prevention (Proactive DLP)
Check for sensitive and confidential file content to prevent data leakage and meet regulatory compliance.
Threat Intelligence
Provide enriched intelligence on threats on billions of hashes, IPs and domains.
Next Generation Sandbox
Deliver adaptive threat analyses.
File-Based Vulnerability
Scan and analyze binaries and installers to detect vulnerabilities before exposure.
Country of Origin Detection
Maintain compliance by determining a file, application, or hardware maker's country of origin.

Device-based Technologies

Deep Endpoint Compliance
Extends well beyond standard compliance checks including OS level, security software, encryption, vulnerabilities, and patch management to ensure that endpoints are secure.
Vulnerability Management
Enables the MetaAccess Platform to detect and report vulnerabilities in installed software on devices, including third party applications and critical OS security patches.
Patch Management
Provides a single development interface to assess thousands of endpoint applications such as Adobe Acrobat, Mozilla Firefox, and Zoom Client for vulnerabilities and to auto-patch them.
Advanced Endpoint Protection
Increases security posture by leveraging multiple anti-malware engines for hash lookups and file scanning, keystroke, and screen capture protection.
Secure Access
Ensures that access from the device to cloud and legacy applications is secure, whether connecting from the office, home, or other remote locations.

These technologies power our products and solutions from IT to OT, and everything in-between. They can be deployed across every attack surface, providing unrivaled and simple-to-use, end-to-end cybersecurity at every level—from the cloud to the plant floor.
