Bridging digital world with the physical world for rapid digital transformation & better Cybersecurity

In response to the industry need of securing Critical Information Infrastructure sectors, Gramax has conceptualized and build a Phygital platform that simulates Airports, Energy, Utilities environment digitally & physically in the Lab. Uses and applications of this Platform are endless but some of them are outlined below

01 Deep skill staff through hands-on experience to securely operate and manage critical systems

02 Accelerate change by demonstrating real life risk scenarios and impact to stakeholders & decision makers

03 Simulate, Test & Validate Airport ecosystem IT/ Digital architecture and systems before implementing

04 Rapidly assess Resiliency of the environment by verifying security controls and discovering vulnerabilities

How Does the Phygital Twin Address these Industry Challenges?

Phygital Twin is a revolutionary platform that utilizes a unique "phygital" approach, blending physical and digital elements, to create an immersive and realistic environment for cybersecurity professionals. This environment simulates critical infrastructure within a miniature city model, complete with real-world Internet of Things (IoT) and Operational Technology (OT) components.

Physical Miniature City Model

A meticulously crafted miniature city featuring critical infrastructure sectors serves as the physical foundation for the training environment.

Real-World Integration

Actual IoT and OT devices are seamlessly connected to the physical model city, creating a realistic and interactive training ground. Dedicated OT panels manage various scenarios.

Enterprise Infrastructure Replication

A real-world enterprise network environment is established, complete with Active Directory, Windows, firewalls, and security solutions. This network connects directly to the OT operations within the miniature city model.

Programmed cause-and-Effect

The OT and IT systems are meticulously programmed to interact realistically, mimicking real-world cause-and-effect scenarios at a miniature scale.

HMI Dashboard Integration

Human-Machine Interface (HMI) dashboards provide a user-friendly interface for monitoring and interacting with the physical lab environment.

Vulnerable Software Deployment

Actual vulnerable software or mock replicas of custom applications are strategically deployed to simulate real-world user interactions and vulnerabilities.

Customizable OT/IoT Code

Our team develops custom code to accurately represent the functionalities, devices, sensors, and components typically found in real-world OT/IoT environments. This ensures realistic training scenarios.

Hands-on Attack Platforms

Attack platforms are integrated into the environment, allowing participants to engage in simulated cyberattacks and gain practical experience in threat mitigation strategies.

Core Components of the Phygital Twin

The Phygital Twin is built on four key components

Phygital Twin is a specialized platform that significantly enriches the value of services and products offered by Gramax. It also strengthens industry relationships and provides unique collaboration opportunities to accelerate digital transformation and improve Cybersecurity posture in CII sectors.
