eSAF Guardian protects OT endpoints

eSAF Guardian Overview

Purpose-built for ARM-based controllers and RTOS, overcoming IT security limitations.

Operates with lower CPU overhead and less memory, preserving real-time precision.

Observe, Enforce, Respond - Monitors, enforces kernel policies, and auto-terminates threats instantly.

Delivers full audit trails, forensic logs, and automated reporting for industrial standards.

The OT Cybersecurity Landscape: Coverage and Blind Spots

 

Runtime monitoring within edge Linux remains a blind spot for existing security solutions.

 

Solution Core Strengths Common Blind Spot
OT/CPS NDR Passive Traffic Monitoring, Asset Topology, CVE Prioritization  Lacks visibility into internal endpoint processes and file access. 
 Industrial IPS/Segmentation Inline Protection, Allowlisting, Virtual Patching Cannot identify which process initiated a network connection or abnormal file access. 
Secure Remote Access MFA, Just-in-Time (JIT) Access, Session Recording & Auditing  Only controls communication channels without monitoring runtime behavior. 
Robot Endpoint Structured Protection for Robot Systems  Limited commercial information, and support for heterogeneous platforms remains unverified. 
ROS/Ecosystem Long-Term Maintenance, Vulnerability Remediation, Ecosystem Integration  Maintenance and patching are not a substitute for runtime threat detection. 
 SBOM/Firmware Analysis Supply Chain Risk Management, Pre-Release Static Analysis  Focuses on build-time security and does not cover runtime attacks. 
  AI Secutiry Model Scanning, AI Lifecycle Risk Management Does not correlate file, network, and process activities on edge Linux.

Why eSAF Guardian

"eSAF Guardian is not another OT NDR solution. It provides deep behavioral monitoring inside endpoints and is purpose-built for industrial edge environments."

visibility
Runtime Visibility

Delivers correlated visibility across processes, file access, and network activities with deep kernel-level inspection.

package-delivered
Productized Agent

Provided as a ready-to-deploy .deb package, integrating Watchdog for self-healing, Policy Loader for policy deployment, and Event Exporter for event forwarding.

working-factory
Field-Ready

Designed for field deployment with support for offline installation and version rollback. Supports NVIDIA Jetson Thor/Orin (ARM64) and Intel x86 platforms.

analytics
Monitoring-Ready

Retaining detailed event logs while exporting only essential metrics to prevent monitoring systems from being overwhelmed by high-frequency event streams.

Existing Solutions Coverage

  Network traffic anomalies and behavioral trends

   Asset inventory and vulnerability prioritization

  Identity auditing and secure remote access control

eSAF Guardian Closes the Gap by Monitoring:

Which process initialed a network connection

  Who accessed or modified sensitive files

Reverse Shell and Kernel-level threats

What eSAF Guardian Sees Beyond

 

Scenarios Existing OT Solutions  Visibility Added
Edge Devices Outbound Connections IP connecting to an external IP Precisely identifies processes and binary files, detecting whether the connection was initiated by shell, curl, or wget.
Sensitive File Access Typically not visible Monitors who accessed or modified /etc/shadow, SSH keys, and OT recipes.
 AI Edge Model Security May detect outbound traffic only Correlates AI model and credential access with anomalous outbound connections to prevent model exfiltration.
Robot Compromise Detection Device alerts or anomalous network traffic Provides correlated runtime evidence across processes, files, and network activities.
