Zentera Systems Demonstrates Virtual Chamber Defense Against Airport Cyberattacks

Zentera Systems, the leader in critical asset protection, will demonstrate live Zero Trust defenses against cyberattacks during the Defend the Airport 2025 Collaborative in Columbia, MD (June 17-18). Using the Technology Advancement Center’s (TAC) Adega Airport Cyber Range, the exercise will show aviation stakeholders how Virtual Chambers block ransomware, insider threats, and lateral movement attacks in real time for brownfield applications and networks.

What Attendees Will See

• Virtual Chambers render high-value airport systems invisible to attackers while maintaining full operational availability for increased cyber resilience.
• zLink™ security sensors segment computing workloads such as engineering workstations and HMIs without triggering network redesign.
• MSG-2IL Gatekeeper™, a rugged inline appliance, creates an agentless ‘Zero Trust DMZ’ inline    with PLCs, SCADA controllers, and other Purdue Level 0/1 devices to enforce Zero Trust policies.
• zCenter™ Orchestrator unifies agent-based and agentless controls, pushing Zero Trust identity-based policies in real time across cloud and OT assets.

Why It Matters

Airport OT downtime can cause cascading delays and financial losses nationwide, while also threatening safety-critical systems that can put lives and property at risk. Zentera’s overlay security installs transparently to existing critical infrastructure. The solution functions without requiring network re-addressing, firewall pinholes, or scheduled outages. These capabilities have been validated through testing on Adega range’s full-stack replica of a modern airport.

“Airports must protect themselves against ransomware and other attacks, but can’t afford the operational impact and long project cycles of rip and replace networks with upgrades,” said Mike Ichiriu, Vice President of Marketing & Product at Zentera Systems. “Our Virtual Chambers wrap critical airport OT in a Zero Trust shield that attackers simply can’t see or traverse, increasing the resilience of the nation’s aviation ecosystem while minimizing disruption.”
