TXOne Networks, a pioneer in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) security, announced Version 3.2 of its Stellar solution, further enhancing its capabilities from endpoint protection to more comprehensive detection and response in operational technology (OT) environments.
Stellar simplifies the journey into threat hunting and detection while overcoming the limitations of traditional information technology (IT) endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions, which can disrupt OT operations and productivity. Purpose-built for OT environments, Stellar ensures effective security without compromising system stability.

“We have observed that alert fatigue, which is common to EDR solutions, can be even more severe in OT security, with security teams feeling overwhelmed by warnings due to the lack of contextual information about OT devices,” said Dr. Terence Liu, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of TXOne Networks.
“For example, when automated scripts use outdated login credentials that should have been corrected long ago, EDR solutions may flag them as anomaly events. This is why having contextual awareness of OT devices is crucial. The new Version 3.2 of our Stellar product will enhance visibility into a device’s state and make it easier to filter out harmless anomalies, ensuring that security incident investigations become more efficient.”
Potentially compromised assets
Stellar's comprehensive asset-context capabilities help organizations make informed security choices:
- Situational awareness—The TXOne Networks solution provides a centralized place for examining a device's activities while assessing the likelihood of operational disruption through Stellar's behavioral analysis.
- Enhanced asset baseline generation—Network behavior is integrated into Stellar machine learning, offering comprehensive asset behavioral data. This will reduce guesswork when security teams investigate anomalies or enforce security.
- Impact risk snapshot—A new interface for monitoring potentially compromised assets shows associated activities and event trends to evaluate the damage scope.
Endpoint protection solution
Stellar is a specialized endpoint protection solution designed for industrial control systems (ICS) and other OT devices.
It identifies nearly 40,000 OT applications and incorporates TXOne Networks’ Cyber-Physical System Detection and Response (CPSDR) technology, which can protect both legacy and modern Windows systems from cyberattacks and unauthorized system modifications.
