Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity Platform
What it is
Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity Platform (KICS) is a native XDR platform for protecting critical infrastructure across converged, distributed, air-gapped, and legacy OT and IoT environments. It provides visibility into connected devices, configurations, network relationships, and data flows. Its risk tools assess vulnerabilities and security-setting changes affecting hosts, network devices, and controllers. Asset management adds host monitoring, hardware and application inventories, and blind-area coverage in spanless mode. Detection and response features include host-network incidents, investigation graphs, enriched alerts, manual response actions, and network-access restriction. Security audits cover vulnerability scanning, compliance, and configuration changes. KICS supports passive monitoring, OT asset discovery, SIEM integration, and more than 200 industrial control systems and devices. It is available for Linux, Windows, and web, with on-premises deployment and pricing on request. The platform is designed to preserve process integrity and system availability while limiting false detections. Its listed industrial audiences include oil and gas, utilities, manufacturing, metals, and mining.
