Since 2012, Difenda has offered Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services to a wide range of client sectors across Canada, including finance, defense, and aerospace. They are focused on innovation, and have developed industry-leading solutions to automate and accelerate client responses to cyber threats. The adoption of new Industry 4.0 technologies across Canada introduces new threat vectors through the interface between Operational Technologies (OT), like Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), switches and motors, to Information Technologies (IT) e.g. networks. Difenda is seeking to develop a low risk test environment to simulate a wide range of threats to OT, enabling them to understand OT as a complement to their strong expertise in cyber security. To achieve this goal, Difenda will collaborate with Mohawk College's experts in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and advanced manufacturing. Dr. Esteve Hassan holds an NSERC IRCC in IIoT and sensor systems and researchers affiliated with the Additive Manufacturing Innovation Centre complement his knowledge. Through this collaboration, Difenda will gain access to expertise and equipment in key areas, integrated into a simulated IIoT environment that mirrors operating conditions across the manufacturing industry. The IT/OT Sandbox will provide a test environment critical to the development of new tools for the MDR of cyber security threats in the advanced manufacturing sector. This test bed will form the foundation for future development of tools and techniques to allow Difenda to better support Canada's manufacturing sector and ensure the most up to date protection technologies are available to Difenda's clients.

自2012年以来，Difenda向加拿大各个客户领域提供了托管检测和响应（MDR）服务，包括金融，国防和航空航天。他们专注于创新，并开发了行业领先的解决方案，以自动化和加速客户对网络威胁的反应。通过运营技术（OT）（例如可编程逻辑控制器（PLC），交换机和电动机）之间的接口，采用新的行业4.0技术，将新的威胁向量引入了新的威胁媒介，例如。网络。 Difenda正在寻求开发低风险测试环境，以模拟对OT的广泛威胁，使他们能够将OT理解为对他们在网络安全方面的强大专业知识的补充。为了实现这一目标，Difenda将与Mohawk College在工业互联网（IIOT）和高级制造业方面的专家合作。 Esteve Hassan博士拥有IIT和传感器系统中的NSERC IRCC，研究人员隶属于增材制造创新中心的研究人员。通过这种合作，Difenda将进入关键领域的专业知识和设备，并集成到模拟的IIOT环境中，该环境反映了整个制造业的运营条件。 IT/OT沙箱将为高级制造业中网络安全威胁的新工具开发新工具至关重要。该测试床将构成未来开发工具和技术的基础，以使Difenda能够更好地支持加拿大的制造业，并确保最新的保护技术可用于Difenda的客户。
