Close the Air Gap on Physical Media Threats. 

Your data centers receive proprietary firmware, vendor diagnostics, and hardware images daily. Your standard security tools can't see inside them.

USB Threat Defense: An Executive Briefing

Your Physical Supply Chain is an Unguarded Entry Point 

Your data center security is world-class, but proprietary physical media introduces a variable that bypasses even sophisticated defenses. 

  • The Black Box Problem: Vendor-supplied firmware, updates, and diagnostics often arrive in proprietary formats. Your traditional AV and EDR solutions aren't designed to parse them, leaving potential threats undetected. 
  • The Air Gap Paradox: You maintain an air gap for a reason, but physical media must cross it. Without a secure, isolated vetting process, you're introducing unverified code into your most critical infrastructure. 
  • The High Cost of Blind Faith: Relying on external vendors for media scanning is slow, operationally complex, and costs seven figures annually—a significant expense for a capability your expert team could manage in-house. 

The Cygnet Flyaway Kit: Your On-Site, Air-Gapped Scanning Platform. 

Empower your cybersecurity analysts with a portable, self-contained solution built for the unique challenges of data center environments. Cygnet provides the final, critical check for all physical media. 

Key Benefits: 

  • Secure, Isolated Analysis: Operates in 100% air-gapped mode. Analyze media in a quarantined environment, ensuring zero risk of malware spreading to your network. Ideal for the Layer 6 (PII data) environment and other high-trust zones. 
  • Deep Malware & Behavioral Analysis: Integrates signature-based detection with advanced behavioral analysis. Use our custom plug-ins—or build your own—to deconstruct proprietary formats specific to your hardware and vendor requirements. 
  • Plug-and-Scan Simplicity: Designed for rapid field use. An analyst can connect to a USB or SSD and initiate a comprehensive scan in minutes, with no reliance on external infrastructure or internet connectivity. 
  • Rugged & Ultra-Portable: Weighing less than 5lbs, the Cygnet kit is a rugged, self-contained unit built for maximum flexibility in any operational environment, from the loading dock to the server row. 

The Hidden Threat of USBs in OT: How a Flyaway Kit Can Help

From Seven-Figure Retainer to In-House Capability. 

The Old Way: 

  • Annual seven-figure cost for an external vendor. 
  • Slow onboarding for vendor-specific use cases. 
  • Delayed response times waiting on a third party. 
  • Operational friction and logistical overhead are important. 

The Cygnet Way: 

  • Shift budget from an operational expense to a one-time asset. 
  • Empower your existing, expert internal security team. 
  • Accelerate incident response and recovery times. 
  • Gain full control and oversight of your media scanning process. 

Your team has the expertise. We have the tools.
