Rockwell Automation Introduces SecureOT Suite

Rockwell Automation, a global leader in industrial automation and digital transformation, has introduced the SecureOT Suite at the SPS 2025. This innovative suite aims to enhance industrial cybersecurity, addressing the rising threats posed to Operations Technology (OT) systems, which are vital for numerous manufacturing processes.

The Growing Need for Industrial Cybersecurity

As industries continue to modernize and connect more devices, the threat landscape has expanded dramatically. Organizations are confronted with increasing cyber threats targeting their OT systems, many of which are built on legacy infrastructure that lacks sufficient cyber defenses. Traditional IT security measures often fall short in protecting these complex environments, leading to vulnerabilities that can significantly impact operations.

The SecureOT Suite is Rockwell's response to these challenges. It offers a complete solution for protecting critical infrastructure and establishing secure production environments, integrating advanced technologies and expertise tailored to the needs of modern industrial operations.

Key Features of the SecureOT Suite

The SecureOT solution brings together several key components:

• - Custom-built SecureOT Platform: This platform provides comprehensive protection for aging industrial systems, ensuring seamless integration and security across different manufacturers’ devices.
• - Professional Services: These services include security assessments, implementation support, and strategic consulting, helping organizations improve their cybersecurity posture effectively.
• - Managed Security Services: Continuous 24/7 monitoring and incident response are facilitated through Rockwell Automation’s dedicated OT Security Operations Center (SOC) and Network Operations Center (NOC).

These components work together to provide businesses with real-time asset transparency, risk prioritization, and vulnerability management, which are critical to maintaining operational safety.

An Industry Transformation

Matthew Fordenwalt, Senior VP of Lifecycle Services at Rockwell Automation, explains that the changing face of cyber threats necessitates a strategic shift in how industries approach cybersecurity. The complete integration of industry expertise with OT-specific technologies showcased in SecureOT illustrates a significant advancement in maintaining cybersecurity

Robust Protection Across Diverse Industries

The SecureOT Suite is specifically crafted to cater to the distinct challenges of OT environments, ensuring robust protection regardless of an organization’s current cybersecurity maturity level. Real-world results have highlighted its effectiveness:

• - A leading oil and gas company attained complete transparency across its OT resources and mitigated critical risks in decentralized operations in just six months.
• - A major beverage manufacturer, with over 150 global locations, successfully migrated its aging industrial network to a fully managed infrastructure, significantly enhancing security.
• - An energy firm substantially improved its NIST CSF maturity level, realizing measurable returns on investment from its cybersecurity initiatives.
• - A utility provider achieved secure real-time transparency in its decentralized substations, ensuring compliance with NERC CIP while lowering costs through agentless monitoring.

SecureOT empowers industries to reliably reduce risks, maintain uptime, and enhance operational security at any stage of their cybersecurity journey.
