Zero trust security provider Xage Security has added a multilayer identity and access management (IAM) solution to its decentralized access control platform Xage Fabric to secure assets in different layers of operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS) environments.
“Multilayer IAM is needed for a couple of reasons,” said Roman Arutyunov, co-founder, and SVP of products at Xage Security. “First is the fact that operators design systems for high availability and resiliency, leaving no single point of failure, and second that separate identities are used at each layer and site with different admins to ensure that compromise of credentials at IT doesn’t result in compromise of OT and furthermore, compromise of one site does not lead to compromise of all sites.”
