Rockwell Automation Expands SecureOT Portfolio

In a decisive move aimed at bolstering industrial cybersecurity, Rockwell Automation, Inc. has announced the expansion of its SecureOT portfolio. As the world's largest company focused on industrial automation and digital transformation, Rockwell Automation has introduced three groundbreaking offerings within the SecureOT solution suite: the OT Cybersecurity Assessment Suite, SecureOT Platform Managed Services, and Managed Secure Remote Access (MSRA).

Amid the increasing number of cybersecurity alerts and a lack of visibility within operational technology (OT), cybersecurity teams are under significant pressure to quickly identify and respond to threats. The SecureOT suite empowers industries to proactively navigate cybersecurity challenges while avoiding the need for additional infrastructure or specialized hires.

Maria Else, Senior Global Product Manager for Cybersecurity Projects at Rockwell Automation, emphasized the importance of understanding the current state of OT environments as foundational for future security planning. "Manufacturers are facing mounting pressure to enhance cybersecurity without compromising productivity," she stated. With SecureOT, Rockwell Automation combines clarity, prioritized action plans, and acquired expertise to assist industries in protecting critical operations while ensuring safe and efficient plant operations. The solutions leverage technologies such as artificial intelligence for vulnerability detection, automation for maintaining efficiency, and advanced analytics for assessing current risks.

New Offerings Overview

OT Cybersecurity Assessment Suite

The OT Cybersecurity Assessment Suite features a structured, modular approach tailored to the operational realities of industrial environments at every stage of their security processes. By integrating OT-specific data gathering with practical insights, the cybersecurity assessments provide a clear path to enhancing resilience. The assessments, designed by OT experts, utilize proprietary AI and machine-learning models to optimize analyses and standardize evaluations, allowing for efficient delivery of insights and recommendations.

SecureOT Platform Managed Services

The SecureOT Platform is Rockwell Automation's answer to managing vulnerabilities and risks. Enhanced by the company’s industry expertise, the SecureOT Platform Managed Services offer continuous, professionally managed risk prioritization. The latest update includes enhancements to the managed platform with up-to-date features and capabilities, as well as management of ongoing asset discovery and inventory. This structured collaboration between technical account managers and clients enables security teams to address cybersecurity risks more rapidly while minimizing downtime.

Managed Secure Remote Access (MSRA)

The innovative MSRA service connects OT assets to lower risks, improve efficiency, and simplify operations within a vendor-neutral, identity-based environment managed by Rockwell Automation. This cloud-based remote access layer supports OT assets and facilitates quick onboarding for customers with ready-to-deploy solutions, identity security, and minimal effort required from internal teams. MSRA allows for faster troubleshooting and safer collaboration with suppliers, offering a scalable service that adapts to an organization's needs.

Additional Security Measures

In conjunction with these offerings, Rockwell Automation is also launching an updated program of policies and procedures focused on OT cybersecurity. This service, developed by experts in OT governance, risk assessment, and compliance, aligns with international standards, frameworks, and best practices. It provides a comprehensive document package to guide and strengthen security programs across the OT environment.

These enhancements are now available for manufacturing companies and critical infrastructure operators, complementing Rockwell Automation's SecureOT solution suite—a robust offering designed to help manufacturers assess, protect, and continuously improve their OT cybersecurity posture.

Rockwell Automation’s commitment to industrial cybersecurity is evident through integrated product security measures available throughout the automation lifecycle, certified under IEC 62443-4-1, which represents the highest level for safe product development processes. This holistic approach, combining assessments, managed services, and secure remote access, provides manufacturers with a solid foundation for managing OT risks and enhancing resilience in their operations.
