AhnLab CPS PLUS, the Most Extensive CPS Security Platform
AhnLab CPS PLUS unifies security capabilities across OT networks, OT endpoints, and IT domains connected to OT networks. As such, the platform sets itself apart from competitors by providing one of the most extensive CPS protection coverages in the industry. AhnLab CPS PLUS comprises nine security modules, and core modules are centrally managed by the platform's management console.

Our nine CPS security modules serve different roles but in a unified manner. Customers can prioritize the security functions most relevant to their organization. Let’s quickly explore what they do.
- AhnLab ICM: Central monitoring and management of CPS security modules
- AhnLab EPS: Application and device control on top of malware detection for OT endpoint
- AhnLab XTD: OT network visibility and threat & anomaly detection
- AhnLab Xcanner: Portable AV scanning and cleaning malware for OT endpoint
- AhnLab XTG: OT network segmentation and perimeter security
- AhnLab Data Diode: OT network access control via unidirectional data transfer
- AhnLab MDS: Network sandboxing for addressing unknown malware
- AhnLab EPP/V3: IT-based endpoint security control to protect OT environments from IT-based compromise or vulnerabilities; the anti-malware module (V3) is a part of EPP
- AhnLab TIP: CPS threat intelligence across IT and OT environments
What Is Special About AhnLab CPS PLUS?
There are several CPS security vendors and solutions available for organizations to adopt. From the competitive edge perspective, three factors differentiate us from our industry peers. These are also key reasons why we were selected as a leader in this year’s Frost Radar for CPS security solutions.
#1. Platform-Centric Unified Management
As stated, AhnLab CPS PLUS delivers the most extensive CPS security coverage across IT and OT domains. But that’s not all. Its true strength comes from central management capability powered by a platform-first approach. AhnLab ICM, the central management console, enhances visibility and efficiency by consolidating management and monitoring of CPS endpoint and network security modules, threat intelligence platform (TIP), and even SIEM. We can underscore that AhnLab ICM truly makes AhnLab CPS PLUS a “platform”.
#2. Deep Asset Visibility
Securing asset visibility is one of the most fundamental capabilities for achieving successful CPS security. In that sense, AhnLab CPS PLUS delivers deep and wide asset visibility across OT endpoints and the network, which is enabled by the integration of AhnLab XTD and AhnLab EPS. While most CPS security vendors utilize network sensors to acquire visibility, AhnLab XTD can combine its network-side information with OT endpoint data from machines installed with AhnLab EPS agents. It helps customers remove blind spots within their CPS environments and better understand what they operate and what they need to protect.
#3. Strong Customer Reference
Customer references are compelling evidence of the solution’s greatness. AhnLab CPS PLUS and its security modules have been safeguarding numerous organizations across various industries, including manufacturing, gas, energy, transportation, and many others. Our customer base spans small and medium-sized enterprises to large conglomerates with high global reputations. An abundant experience in different industry verticals has fueled AhnLab CPS PLUS to become an adaptive CPS security platform that can quickly identify and address existing and modern security challenges.
