Why BattleTwin Matters
Why BattleTwin Matters
Safe OT Security Validation
Test industrial security controls in a fully isolated environment without impacting real production systems or operations.
Improved Threat Detection
Validate how effectively OT security solutions detect cyberattacks, malicious behaviors, and advanced threat scenarios.
Stronger Operational Resilience
Identify security gaps and strengthen the resilience of critical industrial infrastructure against evolving cyber threats.
BattleTwin Features
Realistic Protocol Simulation
Battle Twin simulates some of the most prominent communication protocols used in real OT environments, like Modbus, DNP3, Profinet, BACnet, OPC-UA. This means you get a genuine testing ground for simulating breaches and attacks. Since it mirrors the actual protocols used in OT, Battle Twin creates a true-to-life virtual replica of your network, making your testing experience as realistic as possible.

Breach and Attack Simulations
Battle Twin features an extensive library of attack types for IT and OT networks, covering OT devices, protocols, and network attacks. Each attack is mapped to MITRE ICS Matrix TTPs. Battle Twin also emulates industrial malware like BlackEnergy and Triton. Cytomate's Reverse Engineers extract and recreate malware TTPs for simulation. These controlled simulations, monitored by your security solution, identify vulnerabilities without harming real OT equipment or networks.

Security Posture Evaluation
Battle Twin provides insights into the effectiveness of your security measures against potential threats. It creates a virtual replica of your OT environment, integrating with security monitoring sensors to capture and analyse all internal traffic. After establishing a baseline of normal activity, Battle Twin initiates the attacks on the simulated environment to test detection and response. This process identifies undetected attacks and addresses security gaps.

Comprehensive Reporting
By meticulously analysing the response and detection capabilities of security controls for each individual attack, Battle Twin produces comprehensive reports that identify any threats that went undetected. These reports offer a detailed breakdown of which attacks evaded detection and the specific weaknesses in the security controls that allowed this to happen.

Integration with Security Controls
Battle Twin can easily be integrated with ICS/OT security monitoring sensors, regardless of their vendor i.e. Defender for IoT, Nozomi Networks Guardian/Vantage, Claroty CTD among others. It test and validates the effectiveness of existing security controls, including IDS and IPS, by triggering real-time alerts.
