HAIFA, Israel, November 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Elbit Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: ESLT) ("Elbit
Systems") announced today that Samsung SDS Co. Ltd. (Samsung SDS"),
a subsidiary of the Samsung group and a global leading IT services
company, selected Cyberbit Ltd. ("Cyberbit"), the company
protecting some of the world's most sensitive organizations against
cyber threats, to protect customers against attacks on industrial
control systems.
Industrial control networks are prime targets for cyberattacks
and use legacy technologies that challenge conventional security
systems. Samsung SDS and Cyberbit will collaborate to deploy
Cyberbit's SCADAShield, a non-intrusive deep-packet inspection
system, optimized for ICS/SCADA networks, in the Korean market.
SCADAShield will protect customers' critical infrastructure against
cyberattacks, minimize continuity risks and improve network
managers' visibility across their ICS networks.
"Critical infrastructure facilities are particularly vulnerable
to cyberattacks because of their legacy hardware, unique
communication protocols and the lack of security awareness among
operational network managers." said Adi
Dar, Cyberbit's General Manager. "We will collaborate with
Samsung to bridge this gap and help organizations in the
Asia Pacific region to protect
themselves from critical cyberattacks of potentially massive
scale." added Dar.
Sung Won Han, VP Cyber Security
Team, Samsung SDS said, "We look forward to collaborating with
Cyberbit. Our customers will be able to enhance resilience and
competitiveness in the core infrastructure related to manufacturing
and control."
