DeNexus, vendor of end-to-end cyber risk management for operational technology (OT) environments within Industrial Enterprises and Critical Infrastructure, announced a significant upgrade to its DeRISK platform with the release of Version 5.4.12. The latest release introduces enhanced modeling capabilities, expanded sector support, improved integration options, and a new way to track and visualize risk over time.
Key enhancements in DeRISK v5.4.12:
Improved Modeling for Transmission & Distribution of Electricity Systems
DeRISK now offers advanced modeling of substation-specific inputs and penalties, enabling:
- More precise calculation of equipment damage and extortion losses per substation
- Modeling of environmental and regulatory penalties
- Enhanced simulation of cascading loss events within Transmission & Distribution networks
Support for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
DeRISK adds BESS as a new facility type, joining an existing portfolio that includes wind power, solar power, combined heat and power (CHP), and combined cycle facilities.
Enhanced ISA/IEC 62443 Zones & Security Level Modeling for DeRISK for Manufacturing
DeRISK deepens its support for ISA/IEC 62443 standards for manufacturing with segmented OT networks by introducing enhanced attack simulations based on configured zones and security levels
Palo Alto Networks Firewall Integration
The first integration with Palo Alto Networks firewalls allows DeRISK to:
- Identify and filter out unreachable vulnerabilities on assets protected by firewall rules
- Improve fidelity in OT risk visibility through network-aware threat modeling
New Risk Trends Reporting
The all-new Risk Trends Report enables users to compare historical risk quantification and loss analysis across any timeframes (e.g., quarterly, yearly); identify key drivers of risk (e.g., phishing, remote services, supply chain); analyze loss contributors (e.g., downtime, human impact, equipment damage); and generate reports at both facility and portfolio levels.
