This represents the first real-world application of IEC 62443-compliant Identification and Authentication Control in critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The project delivers the OTAC Trusted Access Gateway (TAG), a dynamic one-time code authentication solution that protects PLCs, HMIs, RTUs, DCS, and SCADA endpoints without requiring legacy device replacement. By generating unique offline authentication codes via pre-registered media such as smartphones or display cards, TAG blocks unauthorized access at the source and creates secure audit logs for compliance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Amid growing cyberattacks on water facilities worldwide &mdash; including recent incidents in Norway and Poland &mdash; this project demonstrates how proactive endpoint authentication can eliminate vulnerabilities in fixed-password systems and prevent unauthorized manipulation of critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The initiative also aligns with national security guidelines in Korea and sets a reference model for global critical infrastructure operators. swIDch, SSenStone&rsquo;s global headquarters in London, will play a key role in scaling this technology to international markets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Chang-Hun Yoo, CEO of SSenStone and swIDch, said: &ldquo;Recent attacks on water facilities in Europe remind us that OT endpoint security is no longer optional. This collaboration with K-water represents a significant step toward securing critical national infrastructure, and we are committed to bringing our trusted technology to safeguard essential systems worldwide.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p class=\"caps\"><span style='font-size:18px !important'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> SSenStone<br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Jerome Kwon<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href='http:\/\/www.universalpressrelease.com\/?pr=ssenstone-secures-kwater-with-first-ot-endpoint-authentication-for-critical-infrastructure'>Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> South Korea<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ssenstone.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.ssenstone.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getnews.info\/press_stat.php?pr=ssenstone-secures-kwater-with-first-ot-endpoint-authentication-for-critical-infrastructure\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SSenStone, a leading authentication security provider, announced that its OTAC (One-Time Authentication Code) technology is being implemented by Korea Water Resources Corporation (K-water) to strengthen security for water facility control<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557022"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=557022"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/557022\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=557022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=557022"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.olympiajournal.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=557022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
