Rockwell Automation Introduces Comprehensive Cybersecurity Solution

In an era when the digital landscape poses mounting risks to operational technology (OT) environments, Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK) has stepped up to the plate by launching its state-of-the-art Security Monitoring and Response service. Announced on April 28, 2025, this innovative offering aims to enhance the cybersecurity posture of industries by providing continuous and real-time monitoring solutions tailored specifically for OT systems.

Aiming for Proactive Cyber Defense

Challenges posed by cyber threats have become increasingly complex as incidents in industrial sectors on the rise. Reports have shown that cybersecurity risks and a lack of trained personnel are among the top five hurdles faced by critical manufacturing operations today. As Nick Creath, Cybersecurity Services Lead Product Manager at Rockwell Automation, stated, "As cyber risks continue to grow, manufacturers require constant vigilance and expertise to stay ahead of dynamic threats, even when they often lack the necessary resources."

The new Security Monitoring and Response service empowers industrial companies to keep potential threats at bay with an emphasis on real-time detection and skilled response mechanisms. By integrating seamlessly with existing infrastructures, Rockwell's service promises to deliver transparency, actionable insights, and swift actions needed to maintain operational integrity.

Features of the Service

Enabled by the Rockwell Automation OT Security Operations Center (SOC), the Security Monitoring and Response service operates around the clock, addressing critical security risks, operational inefficiencies, and resource gaps. Key differentiators of this offering include:

1. Continuous Monitoring and Enhanced Threat Detection
The service provides 24/7 real-time monitoring of OT environments, allowing for continuous oversight and quick identification of potential threats. Utilizing advanced analytics, Rockwell's OT cyber analysts prioritize alerts, investigate threats, and transform raw data into actionable intelligence.

2. Prompt Incident Response and Mitigation
With expert guidance and proven methodologies in place, the response team ensures prompt action during security incidents. OT SOC analysts deliver step-by-step support to facilitate effective incident management and minimize potential business impacts.

3. Comprehensive Reporting and Scalability
This service keeps stakeholders informed through detailed monthly summaries and quarterly business reviews. Its modular and scalable design ensures it can be tailored to meet specific client needs, fostering flexibility for business growth.

By identifying and addressing threats proactively, the Security Monitoring and Response service supports organizations in minimizing disruptions, downtime, and potential financial losses. Furthermore, automated daily security tasks enhance overall operational efficiency while providing actionable insights for data-driven decision-making. This allows manufacturers to concentrate on core business priorities while benefiting from active monitoring that keeps their operations secure.

An Invitation to Engage

Rockwell Automation is set to showcase this new service at the upcoming RSA Conference from April 28 to May 1 in San Francisco. Attendees are encouraged to visit Booth N-4628 to learn more about Security Monitoring and Response initiatives and other Rockwell offerings.
