Video: Enable secure remote access to your OT assets

Enable secure remote access to your industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT) assets

Get full control over remote access to industrial assets with a solution that is easy to deploy at scale, enforces zero-trust policies, and is made to meet the need of operations.  

Boost operational efficiency

Empower your operations team, vendors, and contractors to remotely maintain and troubleshoot ICS and OT assets with an easy-to-use solution that they can rely on to help maintain production uptime.

Define granular access policies

Never grant full access to your network, and prevent lateral movement. Enforce least-privilege access controls based on user identity, protocol, schedule, device posture, geolocation, and more. 

Install and scale with ease

Simplify user and policy management with a single portal for all of your sites. Easily reach any OT assets, even those behind Network Address Translation (NAT) boundaries. Secure Equipment Access embeds ZTNA into your Cisco switches and routers.

Monitor sessions and users

Detect identity threats such as users' connecting from unusual locations or at odd times. Record sessions and join them live to see what users are doing. Use our AI assistant to easily gather audit trails, run investigations, and help you to meet regulatory requirements.
