Goldilock is on a mission to revolutionise the way critical infrastructure and industrial control systems are protected. Cyber attacks on our ageing critical infrastructure are increasing. As IT and OT systems continue to converge, Cyber attackers are increasingly weaponizing OT environments to attack hardware and software that control industrial processes and secure OT networks.Unlike typical IT environments, Critical Infrastructure is made up of Operational Technology (OT), a blend of physical objects such as pumps and valves that often have digital sensors/controls linked back to core internet facing IT-networks. This makes every valve, switch, and pump potentially accessible to the internet, vastly increasing the cyber attack surface.The scale of impact (sometimes 20x more than IT devices) and the physical location (widely distributed rather than focused within data centres), together with the growing use of vulnerable open source software libraries, make vulnerability remediation difficult.Goldilock-Industrial is a unique physical network layer hardware solution that closes the 100% risk gap to fractions by allowing OT networks to become invisible, and visible, on demand. Unlike other methods of cyber-protection, Goldilock-Industrial sits between untrusted (internet) and trusted (internal) networks as a truly physical network air-gap, with unique Out-of-Band controls. This allows OT networks and devices to be invisible to attackers, yet accessible on demand, and enables OT defenders to react to cyber incidents in real time. Protocol-standards agnostic, its modular connectivity approach allows integration of OEM devices into a singular ecosystem.Smart funding helps bridge the investment gap, enabling the development of a bespoke, small-form, modular, fit-for-purpose ICS solution, capable of addressing legacy equipment, safety and compliance regulations and simple to install/operate.Innovate UK funding will stimulate capacity building, future revenues and R&D reinvestment, dramatically improving our capability/speed of developing new products/technologies, essential with incoming regulations, providing confidence for Industry 4.0 adoption.

Goldilock的使命是彻底改变关键基础设施和工业控制系统的保护方式。对我们老化的关键基础设施的网络攻击正在增加。随着IT和OT系统的不断融合，网络攻击者越来越多地将OT环境武器化，以攻击控制工业流程和保护OT网络的硬件和软件。与典型的IT环境不同，关键基础设施由操作技术（OT）组成，这是一种混合物理对象，如泵和阀门，通常具有连接回面向IT网络的核心互联网的数字传感器/控制。这使得每一个阀门、开关和泵都有可能被互联网访问，极大地增加了网络攻击的面。（有时是IT设备的20倍）和物理位置（广泛分布，而不是集中在数据中心内），加上越来越多地使用脆弱的开源软件库，Goldilock-Industrial是一种独特的物理网络层硬件解决方案，通过允许OT网络变得不可见和可见，按需提供。与其他网络保护方法不同，Goldilock-Industrial位于不可信（互联网）和可信（内部）网络之间，作为真正的物理网络气隙，具有独特的带外控制。这使得OT网络和设备对攻击者不可见，但可按需访问，并使OT防御者能够对网络事件做出真实的反应。与协议标准无关，其模块化连接方法允许将OEM设备集成到单一的生态系统中。智能融资有助于弥合投资差距，从而能够开发定制的、小型的、模块化的、适合用途的ICS解决方案，能够解决传统设备、安全和合规性法规，并且安装/操作简单。Innovate UK资金将刺激能力建设、未来收入和研发再投资，显著提高我们开发新产品/技术的能力/速度，这对即将出台的法规至关重要，为工业4.0的采用提供信心。
