Hitachi Energy Plant Cyber Story
How Hitachi Energy's global plant cyber team uses MetaDefender Core and K2100 Mobile Kiosks to scrub vendor files at every plant.
Common Questions From Manufacturing Cyber Leaders
Yes. MetaDefender complements OT asset-visibility platforms like Claroty, Nozomi Networks, and Dragos with file-grade defense. Where those platforms map and monitor your industrial network, OPSWAT scrubs every vendor file, USB drive, firmware blob, and PLC project archive crossing into the OT environment. Together they give plant cyber teams full asset, network, and file-level visibility across every plant.
MetaDefender Kiosk is purpose-built for plant-floor field crews. OEM technicians, vendor engineers, and contractors insert the USB drive at the kiosk, the file payload is scanned by 30+ AV engines, sanitized by Deep CDR Technology, and either released as a clean copy onto a fresh approved drive or quarantined. K2100 Mobile Kiosks travel with the crew between substations, plants, and remote sites. Workflow takes minutes, not hours, and gives plant cyber leads a clean audit trail.
Yes. MetaDefender Deep CDR Technology supports PLC project archives including Rockwell Studio 5000 (.acd), Siemens TIA Portal (.ssp), Schneider EcoStruxure Control Expert (.cwp), and many other PLC and HMI project formats. Vendor and OEM-supplied logic, firmware blobs, and HMI project files are deconstructed, scanned, sanitized of embedded scripts and macros, and rebuilt as clean, fully functional files before they reach an engineering workstation or controller.
The MetaDefender Platform is pre-validated against IEC 62443 SL3 controls for industrial automation suppliers. NetWall data diodes provide hardware-enforced unidirectional segmentation between Purdue Model layers, MetaDefender Kiosk and Drive enforce IEC 62443 controls on portable media, and MetaDefender Core scans files against 30+ AV engines. OPSWAT delivers a documented reference architecture mapping every product to specific IEC 62443-3-3 and 62443-4-2 requirements for SL3 attestation.
Yes. MetaDefender Adaptive Sandbox detonates firmware updates, PLC logic archives, and OEM-supplied binaries before they are deployed to a production line. Suspicious behavior, IOCs, and zero-day threats are extracted in a high-speed, anti-evasion emulation sandbox engineered for industrial files. Plant cyber leads get a verdict in minutes, not hours, with full kill-chain visibility.
Multi-plant deployments are unified by My OPSWAT Central Management. Plant cyber leads define a single vendor file policy, sandbox configuration, and Purdue Model segmentation reference, then push it to every plant. Mobile K2100 Kiosks travel with field crews, NetWall data diodes harden every IT/OT crossing, and MetaDefender Core sanitizes vendor file ingest at every site. Centralized telemetry, distributed enforcement, with no per-plant integration burden.
