Secure Remote Access for OT/ICS
OT Secure Remote Access (SRA) systems protect remote access to OT environments, facilitate asset management and network mapping, and provide system governance. SRA encompasses the tools and processes required for operational security for remote access to critical systems.
Ensuring security requires several steps. The adoption of SRA for your OT systems is just one step that bolsters the protection of your environment from external access and 3rd party vendors.
Components of OT Secure Remote Access
Multiple components come together to increase secure remote access for OT/ICS, including:
- Comprehensive authorization protocols
- Secure authentication mechanisms
- Encryption to maintain data confidentiality
- Firewalls, VPNs, and other security measures
In addition, audit logs improves cybersecurity by optimizing compliance, investigations, and monitoring processes.
Industry Compliance
Increased reliance on OT systems within the chemical, critical manufacturing, healthcare, and defense industrial base industries requires compliance with OT security protocols. Our team can help develop documentation to aid you in remaining up to date with current standards, requirements, and best practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

in cybersecurity
Segmenting a network means dividing it into smaller, isolated parts. In manufacturing environments, where the protection of sensitive information and critical infrastructure is particularly important, segmenting the network can be an effective way to reduce the risk of a cyberattack.
An information system used to control industrial processes such as manufacturing, product handling, production, and distribution. Industrial control systems include supervisory control and data acquisition systems used to control geographically dispersed assets, as well as distributed control systems and smaller control systems using programmable logic controllers to control localized processes.
Operational Technology (OT) networks are a fundamental for many industrial businesses as they provide the infrastructure for critical processes. However, these networks are vulnerable to cyberattacks, which may lead to costly disruptions and the loss of critical data. To protect OT networks, many organizations are turning to Network Segmentation to increase their overall security posture. The key purpose of network segmentation is to limit the access to critical systems and data. By segmenting the network, your organization can create a series of barriers thus restricting the movement of malicious actors and limit the potential attack surface. Network segmentation also provides operational efficiencies that can include increased network performance and reduced risk of outages.
OT Network Segmentation remains crucial in limiting the propagation of malware. Some of the other benefits include: Reduced network congestion for ‘noisy’ applications (better performance), Limited blast radius for potential cyber-attacks (reduced lateral damage), Restricted access to key resources (less opportunity for ‘accidents’)
Success in OT network security involves a holistic approach with extensive planning and communications. Collaboration with stakeholders, including process engineers and maintenance teams, makes a significant difference. Our experts have been doing global OT network segmentation programs for decades now and we know how to avoid the pitfalls.
