ARIA Cybersecurity, a CSPi business (NASDAQ: CSPi) and Acronis addressed the Operational Technology industries greatest current challenge – the forced migration of up to millions of industrial automation endpoints running on Windows 10 to Windows 11 with no return on that investment.
The two companies, in a live on-line event, discussed the challenges the OT industry faces when operating systems like Windows 10 hit end of support. Forced migration requires: a large operational effort that includes:
ARIA demonstrated the AZT solution which Acronis resells along-side its industry leading Cyber Protect back-up system.
ARIA and Acronis discussed customers who reported saving $25,000 per device or more deploying AZT rather than upgrading to Windows 11 based endpoints. An immediate ROI of up to 100 to 1.

AZT PROTECT provides a lock-down approach to protecting critical infrastructure applications from unintended updates as well as attacks such as stopping all forms of malware, ransomware, and nation-state backed attacks on these applications and the operating systems on which they run. In addition, AZT stops code-based exploits that previously had to be stopped by OS based security patches, thus extending the useful life of such legacy operating system-based production systems — once such patches are no longer provided by the vendor.
The solution utilizes patented reactive AI-based countermeasures to stop the attacks as they land on an operation’s most vulnerable critical production control systems. These countermeasures lock down critical applications from unscheduled updates and adulteration while stopping code-based attacks, such as malware and ransomware, from executing. Further, they disrupt the techniques nation-state-backed attackers utilize to land, expand, and then escalate privileges to take control of such systems.
