  • The City of Brentwood Implements Remote Access to Water Systems

    The City of Brentwood Implements Remote Access to Water Systems

    [ad_1]

    Press Release



    updated: Jun 23, 2020

    Today, the City of Brentwood announced its implementation of Dispel’s remote access product. As part of the City’s infrastructure modernization, Brentwood chose Dispel to improve utility service uptime, availability, and safety. Located 55 miles east of San Francisco and home to over 60,000 people, the city operates its own public water and wastewater services.

    Previously, Brentwood’s water plants required physical access to manage and consisted of a cumbersome technological process. Now, after implementing Dispel, workers securely access their control systems remotely in under 20 seconds. This change improves response and remediation times, helping the city provide its citizens with better services.

    “The Dispel platform is secure, simple to use, and very efficient. Dispel has truly simplified remote SCADA access for the city of Brentwood,” said Eric Brennan, Water Operations Manager from Brentwood.

    Operators and vendors can now access the City of Brentwood’s SCADA systems remotely and securely, with the help of Dispel. A remote access and management tool specialized for the OT/IT demands of utilities and manufacturers, the Dispel installation allows access to Brentwood’s SCADA networks from a phone or tablet. Rather than use traditional static VPNs and jump hosts to connect to SCADA systems, Moving Target Defense SD-WANs provide non-persistent encrypted connections, ensuring critical assets remain protected.

    Dispel and Grantek Launch Engineer-in-a-Box to Provide Remote Access for Operators, Vendors & OEMs

    Press Release



    updated: May 13, 2020

    ​​​​Helping operators, vendors, and OEMs respond to access limitations during COVID-19, manufacturing solutions partner Grantek announces Engineer-in-a-Box, a remote access device powered by Dispel’s Moving Target Defense technology.

    COVID-19 disrupted the age-old practice of sending engineering teams on-site to maintain industrial control systems. Now, remote access tools are being deployed to keep projects and systems running.

    Unfortunately, the market lacks a remote access solution that deploys quickly but securely enough for both OT’s and IT’s needs. Often, operations personnel find convenient workarounds, sacrificing security.

    Grantek specializes in maintaining, supporting, and integrating industrial control systems. They built Engineer-in-a-Box, a plug-and-play device that provides secure remote access to OT/ICS.

    “Operations staff are often stuck between a rock and hard place when it comes to remote access. They are constantly pressured to maintain uptime, but when something happens, the only way they can get help remotely is through a request process which takes too long for them. We also saw an increase in remote access solutions being marketed but none of which leveraged technology with sufficient security for this purpose. That’s why we created Engineer-in-a-Box,” said Jacob Chapman, Director of Industrial IT & Cybersecurity at Grantek.

    Designed for those with unpredictable remote access needs, Engineer-in-a-Box lets vendors configure equipment remotely, safely, and on short notice. To use, simply connect Engineer-in-a-Box to an Ethernet port anywhere on an OT network. To disconnect, just turn it off.

    Grantek partnered with technology company Dispel to engineer the underlying networks.

    “Grantek is one of the most well-respected systems integrators out there, and they are good people,” said Ian Schmertzler, President of Dispel. “It’s our job to supply them with technology that will let them get in, solve the problem, and get out.”

    Despite the user experience being similar to cellular gateways, Engineer-in-a-Box is secured by Moving Target Defense networks and disposable virtual computers. Remote access only exists when neededsaving time, money, and eliminating attack vectors against the OT network.

    Red Trident Inc. and Dispel Announce Remote Access Solution for Industrial Systems

    Press Release



    updated: Mar 23, 2020

    ​​​​Texas technology companies Dispel and Red Trident Inc. today announced their new partnership, providing an affordable, secure, easy-to-deploy solution for remote access to Industrial Control Systems.

    Industrial facilities are being challenged during this COVID-19 outbreak to provide remote access for their employees. Red Trident’s Access Solution (RTAS), powered by Dispel, provides remote login capabilities for secure, reliable, and fast remote access to Industrial Control System (ICS) networks.

    Red Trident and Dispel can deploy this secure, affordable solution in 4-6 hours. The product reduces risk by eliminating travel time to remote assets, limiting employee exposure to dangerous situations, enhancing remote access capabilities, and significantly improves security.

    “As a small business full of veterans, we care about our country and community. We have heard our friends and peers in the industry, and they are concerned about going to their workplace; however, some of their companies don’t have remote worker capabilities. We took this challenge head-on and worked with several of our close partners to create several easy-to-deploy, cost-effective solutions to solve these problems. Our goal is to provide a benefit to businesses and the workers that keep America moving,” said Emmett Moore, CEO of Red Trident.

    The user experience is simple, with two access options: a native application (low security) or a virtual desktop (high security). Users reach their assets through a customer-specific, encrypted Moving Target Defense network. Connections from the ICS network are outbound-only, requiring no open inbound ports. User-specific whitelisting and two-factor authentication are included out-of-the-box.

    “Dispel, together with our partners, is working with cities and towns to ensure essential water, power, and gas services remain available to the populace. Even as workforces become and remain remote, we are ensuring safe, simple, and reliable access to industrial systems for affected communities,” said Ethan Schmertzler, CEO of Dispel.

    The solution targets those with unpredictable remote access needs, offering plans ranging from multi-year contracts to pay-as-you-need deployments. The technology is designed to scale with demand.

    “We understand your challenges because we have all worked in industrial environments. Our solution is proven to work in your networks without causing disruptions or downtimes. All of your environments are dangerous and also very critical to our fragile society. You need a solution that enhances your capabilities, protects your workers and assets and allows you to continue providing critical services to our country and economy. Your industrial control systems teams finally gain remote access without compromising the security of the ICS network,” said Moore.

    Whether the current viral pandemic, floods, or a Gulf hurricane, Red Trident’s Remote Access Solution, powered by Dispel, provides simple and secure remote access to keep systems up and running.​ 

    If you have critical assets and need rapid implementation of remote access and/or virtual desktops, please contact Red Trident (https://redtridentinc.com/) or Dispel (https://dispel.io).
