About
LinkGuard from Blue Ridge Networks is a cybersecurity and network-segmentation solution designed to secure critical IT and OT (operational technology) assets by placing them inside a “stealth” overlay that isolates, conceals, encrypts, and authenticates access to sensitive systems. LinkGuard uses a zero-trust, high-assurance cryptographic overlay (called CyberCloak) that creates separate secure Layer-2 network enclaves, segregating protected systems from the general network and each other, thereby dramatically reducing the attack surface without requiring changes to existing network infrastructure. Because LinkGuard operates as an overlay rather than replacing underlying networking or requiring reconfiguration of IP addressing, it can rapidly deploy using pre-configured cryptographic devices (like BorderGuard) and/or client-side agents, enabling secure remote access across distributed sites.

About
MetaDefender OT Access enables secure, just-in-time remote access to Operational Technology (OT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), allowing both internal employees and external vendors to connect safely over mutually authenticated, outbound-only TLS tunnels without exposing OT networks to inbound traffic risks. It supports various industrial and IT protocols (e.g., Ethernet/IP, MODBUS, OPC UA, S7Comm, Telnet, SSH, RDP, HTTPS), enabling compatibility across a wide range of legacy and modern OT infrastructure. Depending on deployment mode, the solution can be cloud-managed (with remote configuration via AWS-hosted services) or on-premises (with a local Management Console), making it suitable for both internet-connected and air-gapped environments. It leverages components such as an Admin UI, Windows client (or service-level client), and a Management Console (in on-site deployments) to manage connections and enforce security policies.
