Capital Region, March 21, 2025 – TXOne Networks, a leader in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) security, has announced the release of Version 3.2 of its Stellar solution, which significantly enhances its capabilities from endpoint protection to comprehensive detection and response tailored for operational technology (OT) environments.
The Stellar solution is designed to streamline the process of threat hunting and detection while addressing the drawbacks of traditional information technology (IT) endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions that can disrupt OT operations and productivity. With a focus on OT environments, Stellar aims to provide effective security without compromising system stability.
“We have observed that alert fatigue, which is common to EDR solutions, can be even more severe in OT security, with security teams feeling overwhelmed by warnings due to the lack of contextual information about OT devices,” stated Dr. Terence Liu, CEO of TXOne Networks. He emphasized the importance of contextual awareness in OT security, noting that the new Version 3.2 of Stellar will enhance visibility into a device’s state and improve the efficiency of security incident investigations.
Stellar’s updated features include comprehensive asset-context capabilities that aid organizations in making informed security decisions. Key enhancements consist of:
- Situational awareness: A centralized platform for examining device activities while assessing the risk of operational disruptions through behavioral analysis.
- Enhanced asset baseline generation: Integration of network behavior into Stellar’s machine learning, providing detailed asset behavioral data to reduce uncertainty during anomaly investigations.
- Impact risk snapshot: A new interface for monitoring potentially compromised assets, showing associated activities and event trends to evaluate the scope of potential damage.
As a specialized endpoint protection solution for industrial control systems (ICS) and other OT devices, Stellar identifies nearly 40,000 OT applications and incorporates TXOne Networks’ Cyber-Physical System Detection and Response (CPSDR) technology. This technology protects both legacy and modern Windows systems from cyberattacks and unauthorized modifications.
The launch of Version 3.2 of Stellar represents a significant advancement in OT security, equipping organizations with the tools necessary to navigate the complexities of cybersecurity in industrial environments effectively.
