NAONWORKS CEREBRO-XTD OT Visibility & Threat Detection

NAONWORKS Co., Ltd. was established in July 2007 and is headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. It became part of the AhnLab group in July 2021 and focuses on cyber-physical system (CPS) and operational technology security for factories, energy and public infrastructure.

CEREBRO-XTD is a passive OT visibility and threat detection product. Sensors installed per process analyze mirrored network traffic and send results to a central server, which runs anomaly and statistical analysis and sets detection policies. It combines asset and topology mapping, deep packet inspection of OT protocols and malware or harmful-traffic detection without touching the production network.

• OT visibility: IT and OT asset information, network sessions and a topology map.
• Threat detection: malicious code detection with a vaccine engine, plus weaknesses and scanning traffic.
• OT protocol inspection: deep packet inspection and control logic anomaly detection.
• Anomaly detection: unauthorized assets, networks and control command problems.
• Distributed architecture: per-process sensors with a central management server for policies.
• SOC integration: SIEM and security portal connection with syslog event transmission.

A manufacturing plant in Vietnam could mirror traffic from its production-line switches to build an asset inventory and detect unauthorized devices. A power or water utility could add anomaly detection on SCADA networks and forward alerts to its SOC.

Monitors asset and security status without affecting ICS operations. Passive deployment avoids availability concerns in production. Gives security teams a topology map of IT and OT assets and sessions. Forwards events to SIEM and SOC tools through syslog.

Manufacturers and utilities are connecting production lines to IT networks, which raises demand for passive OT asset discovery and anomaly detection. In Vietnam and Southeast Asia, factories owned by Korean and other foreign investors increasingly face customer and regulatory pressure to monitor OT networks.
