Automation System Advanced Protector (ASAP) is intellectual technology for detection and prevention of the attacks directed to information infrastructure of automatic control systems by production and technology processes (APCS).
Main Features
- Detection of invasions and protection against insert in data transmission channels
- Firewalling at the level of industry protocols
- Control of correctness of technology process
- Ensuring integrity of transmitted data in the APCS system
- Monitoring of vulnerabilities of an APCS
- Support of proprietary protocols of the engineering systems
- Compliance to regulating documents of FSTEC
The significant component of InfoWatch ASAP is the methodological base helping to create the means of protecting which are effectively counteracting the existing threats. Implementation of a complex of protection consists of three stages:
- At the first stage complex audit of an APCS of the enterprise is booked. The most detailed description of infrastructure, the used equipment and protocols, and detailed model of threats is result of a stage.
- At the second stage on the basis of model of threats the work plan forms. If necessary additional completion of a complex is made if in infrastructure there are earlier not supported protocols or features of use of the equipment.
- At the third stage installation of a complex in infrastructure of the enterprise is made, At first InfoWatch ASAP works in the passive mode, types statistics and investigates parameters of network. Further InfoWatch ASAP works in an active mode under control of the operator for final adjustment of a system. And, at last, the complex passes into a stage of day-to-day running.
Development History
2018: Integration with InfoDiode for protection of the APCS technology networks
The system integrator and the developer of IT solutions AMT Group and InfoWatch group in March, 2018 announced completion of testing of sharing of products HSS of InfoWatch Automation System Advanced Protector (InfoWatch ASAP) and JSC InfoDiode for protection of the APCS technology networks.

2017: Compatibility with the Modicon series equipment Schneider Electric
The InfoWatch Group (G), the Russian developer of solutions for information security support of the organizations, and the company in the field of industrial automation of Schneider Electric announced on November 15, 2017 completion of joint tests of the hardware and software system (HSS) for protection of industrial control systems (APCS) of InfoWatch Automation System Advanced Protector (InfoWatch ASAP) on the equipment of industrial automation Schneider Electric of the Modicon series.
Requirements to information security systems in automated control systems for production and technology processes on crucial objects are in the territory of the Russian Federation defined by the order of FSTEC of 3/14/2014 No. 31. Tests of a HSS of InfoWatch ASAP confirmed the high level of protection of the equipment Schneider Electric against threats of information security according to the complete list of the requirements approved by the Russian legislation. During testing the fault tolerance of the InfoWatch system at emergency situations at the enterprise was confirmed.
The solution InfoWatch detects the purposeful attacks and invasions into IT infrastructure of crucial objects, revealing vulnerabilities in an industrial information system. The HSS of InfoWatch ASAP blocks unauthorized network connections and prevents date leak about a status of technology process in an APCS.
 | Joint tests with colleagues from Schneider Electric and our partner — ASP Labs company — showed that the system of protection of automated systems InfoWatch ASAP not only completely ensures information security of the enterprises, but also does not affect operability of the hi-tech equipment Schneider Electric — the head of the Protection of the PCS business direction Mikhail Smirnov said. — We calculate that our solution will be demanded in large enterprises of the industrial sector which use the equipment of world suppliers. |  |
Enter a range of services on data security provision at any stage of lifecycle of an APCS a portfolio of the Protection of the PCS direction, including audit of level of information security of the technology systems, InfoWatch ASAP HSS for work in technology networks, including modules of firewalling, detection of invasions, the analysis of security of an object.
2016: InfoWatch ASAP and "Tornado-N" are compatible
On November 7, 2016 the InfoWatch group and Tornado Modular Systems company confirmed correctness of joint work of a prototype of a hardware-software complex of information security support (cybersecurity) of the technology InfoWatch ASAP systems and a software and hardware complex for automation of objects of industrial production of "Tornado-N".
The companies carried out joint tests which confirmed a possibility of creation of the protected automated control systems on the basis of joint implementation of a hardware-software complex of InfoWatch and the Tornado-N software and hardware complex.
| | The solution of InfoWatch Group proved the efficiency within information security support of an APCS, constructed based on the Tornado-N software and hardware complex. | |
The certificate of compatibility was signed by Natalya Kasperskaya, the president of InfoWatch Group and Oleg Serdyukov, the CEO of Tornado Modular Systems LLC.
