Our defense-in-depth cybersecurity strategy encompasses cutting-edge IT and OT solutions, including next-generation firewalls and OT intrusion detection systems, along with deep packet inspection. Think of the next-generation firewall as the TSA at an airport (But much faster:-), scanning all incoming traffic at high speed to ensure that no malicious threats enter the secure gate area, in our industry before entering the Plant OT environment. This function is part of the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone), an area dedicated to inspecting incoming IT traffic.

Within this DMZ, we implement secure remote connections to facilitate safe remote access to your plant. This is crucial, as many plant employees and OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) require remote access to the plant's control systems for troubleshooting and support.

Our Remote Connection Managed Service allows you to manage all incoming external connections securely. It ensures proper verification for entry, controls the duration of access, and restricts users to specific machines or areas they are authorized to manage. This guarantees that individuals cannot roam outside their permitted zones.
