BlackRidge Technology International, Inc. announced the launch of a new identity-based product line for critical infrastructure and the industrial internet of things. At CES 2019, the company will demonstrate the BlackRidge Transport Access Control product family and a new BlackRidge TAC Identity device. TAC-ID provides identity for authenticating network connections for new and legacy equipment in factories, hospitals and critical infrastructure architectures, and it supports the secure convergence of operational technology and information technology networks. Key benefits include- TAC lets organizations establish end-to-end trust by transporting identity through the stack – across already installed sensors to clouds and gateways – cost effectively and with minimal latency added to the network; with the increasing convergence of OT and IT environments, the challenge of securing industrial control systems and other critical infrastructure devices with identity can now be addressed with the TAC-ID product line; and the company has a hardware, software and licensing roadmap for IIoT identity and network security.
