What is BSS Unit?

BSS Unit is a company devoted to resilience, automation, strategic thinking, tactical execution, and sustainability. For people, for businesses, for supply chains, for governments.

Crisis prevention and management is the environment in which our philosophy was born, and in which our software development culture thrives.

Critical Infrastructure Protection

Improving resilience of critical infrastructure has become a priority around the globe. Emerging threats, as well as unconventional attacks to critical infrastructure have exposed the limitations of traditional risk assessment and risk mitigation efforts. The attention has shifted towards resilience in order to guarantee operational continuity especially in hard-to-predict scenarios.

Our company has been engaged in critical infrastructure security screening and technical review for several years. We provide a comprehensive tactical and strategic security analysis of the organizational establishment as well as high-risk energy facilities. The analysis covers the mechanical protection assets, technical equipment and information systems, the reliability of existing protocols, procedures and staff.

Our experts work with maximal awareness and respect of legal requirements and compliance with the most current technical systems and tools. Cost effectiveness and sustainability are very important to us.

Building Resilience and Maintaining Business Continuity

BSS Unit provides unique tailor-made solutions to enterprises and government entities in the physical security, electronic security, and cyber security verticals.

The founders of BSS Unit have developed experience in protecting financial and commercial assets ever since the 1990’s, providing and training armed security guards, armored vehicle escort, protection for diplomatic delegations at the highest level, receivables management for utilities, organizing the compliance audit and protection of national critical infrastructure, advising on the legislation that regulates the relationship between the government and private companies operating energy utilities, eventually supplying specialized equipment to Homeland Security, Law Enforcement and Armed Forces, as well as the allied troops under NATO in Iraq and Afghanistan.

As the company grew, focus shifted from physical security to cybersecurity, and from Europe to the North American market, where engagements with defense, government and private security companies have opened up new doors for innovative security solutions. BSS Unit has built a network of assets from the East Coast to the West Coast, in various target industries, namely defense, government, aerospace, healthcare, banking, oil & gas, and national critical infrastructure.

Cyber Intel Matrix Honeynet for Critical Infrastructure

BSS Unit has built and operates Blackpot Honeynet™, the largest industrial cyber deception system globally, emulating Industrial Control Systems (ICS) protecting among others the energy industry.

The Blackpot Honeynet™ feeds enriched data into the Cyber Intel Matrix (CIM) threat intelligence platform of BSS Unit.

The system is essentially a complex high-interaction honeynet that is designed specifically for the OT (Operational Technology) sector, with gateway capabilities and multiple entry points to mimic the supply chain.

Key benefits

    • Attack heatmap – constantly updated
    • Sector-specific threat intelligence – detailed (high level, low level)
    • The honeynet itself functions as a cyber range for training, forensics, architecture planning
    • Provides a level of authenticity that enables OT – ICT joint training (interaction), as well as SAT (Site Acceptance Testing) environment and Patch Management Testing
    • Can also be used for risk assessment, providing an accurate preparedness report
    • Compliance, as deceptive capabilities become a requirement
    • Very realistic display of the supply chain
    • Shields the organization, fake gateways are attacked, taking off pressure from the real firewall(s)
    • Threat Intel is tailored to the organization, employ less highly-trained analysts specialized in industry-specific threats
