The requirements include improved vulnerability management, threat management, visualizations, alerts, and integration with existing IT security and inventory tools. Vendors are asked to provide information on their solutions, including scalability, asset inventory and discovery, administrative functions, network support, and reporting. The goal is to protect MDOT's widely distributed network of Operational Technology (OT) assets that support Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) across the state.
• The solution should be scalable and provide centralized visibility and control.
• The solution should support common communication protocols and provide network segmentation-related features.
• The solution should detect anomalous traffic and provide alerting capabilities.
• The solution should provide incident response and forensic data.
• The solution should support secure remote access to roadside equipment.
Some of the key features and functionalities required include:
- Scalability
- Asset inventory and discovery
- Administrative functions
- Network support
- Reporting
- Anomalous traffic detection
- Incident response and forensic data
- Secure remote access to roadside equipment
MDOT is looking for a comprehensive solution that can safeguard its OT/ITS environments against evolving threats and maintain compliance with applicable security standards and best practices.
