fantastic relationship with Trend Micro . “ We work closely with ATOS , who have partnered with us to make our products available in Europe .”
Competitive edge “ I think TXOne Networks is in a very unique situation ,” said Liu . “ When companies began trying to do industrial cybersecurity , they started from providing asset management , because if you founded a cybersecurity company for OT 10 years ago people didn ’ t have the anxiety that they do now – they just wanted visibility .
“ TXOne Networks was founded in 2019 at the right time , when the spotlight was shining on OT . Cybersecurity has three stages – you find , you identify , and then you protect . We ’ ve focused on providing streamlined , ICS-tailored protection to our customers ,” said Liu , who admitted that while the pandemic may have slowed the pace of development for some start-ups it had set off a significant increase in the need for OT cybersecurity .
“ Our competitive advantage is that our solutions are natively designed for the world of OT and the ability to work with a full modern control system – our competition takes their IT-based product , puts it into ruggedized hardware and calls it OT security , but to us there is a huge difference . OT stakeholders need solutions specially adapted to their environments and daily work . This is especially true for the different OT verticals , which often have different mission-critical needs . Our ability to adapt to the potentially fragmented OT environment and provide OT-native cybersecurity products is our main difference ,” said Liu .
