The enhanced appliance builds on Cynalytic’s suite of data visualization and dashboard tools to help users monitor and make sense of historically unmonitored and unprotected serial communications.

Improvements include: Advanced alerting for serial traffic across environments; Logical operators (AND, OR, NOT) for precise multi-tiered conditions; protocol breakdown GUI to display protocol characteristics; protocol hover for easy-to-understand “byte-attribution” of protocol metrics; integration with SIEM tools (such as ELK or AlienVault) with native support for Syslog; integration with JSON and XML structured data, metrics and audit log data; configuration templates to quickly provision SerialTap sensors; and system-level analysis, providing a threat-hunting view for anomalous serial traffic.

Cynalytic analyzes serial communications data using Cynash’s patented SerialTap sensors. By identifying and detecting intrusions and other operational field device issues, Cynalytic—in combination with SerialTap—helps ICS operators mitigate the risk of cyber-physical damage to industrial control systems.
