With an increase in alerts and pressure on cybersecurity teams, the new offerings provide an essential structure for companies to maintain security while ensuring operational continuity.

Addressing Growing Cybersecurity Challenges

As cybersecurity threats become increasingly sophisticated, organizations are challenged to quickly detect and respond to potential attacks. Rockwell’s SecureOT solutions help companies adopt a proactive mindset towards safeguarding their operational assets and production data without adding unnecessary overhead or requiring specialized personnel. Maria Else, Senior Global Product Manager for Cybersecurity Projects at Rockwell, highlights, "Understanding the current state of the OT environment is fundamental to building a secure future."

New Cybersecurity Solutions

The SecureOT suite now includes:

• - OT Cybersecurity Assessment: This modular assessment approach targets the unique operational realities of industrial environments. It combines data collection specific to production technologies with actionable insights for businesses, providing a clear path to enhanced resilience.
• - Managed Services within SecureOT Platform: These services are designed to systematically manage risks and vulnerabilities. By continuously prioritizing risks, this platform facilitates rapid discussions between technical account managers and clients, empowering security teams to mitigate cyber risks effectively while minimizing production downtimes.
• - Managed Secure Remote Access (MSRA): A new feature that connects OT assets seamlessly, ensuring reduced risks and improved operational efficiency. This cloud-based solution simplifies the remote access process while maintaining strict identity security measures, enabling quick deployment and operational readiness.

Leveraging Technology and Expertise

Rockwell's assessments utilize proprietary AI and machine learning models to streamline analysis and standardize evaluation processes. These technological enhancements allow organizations to achieve effective results with actionable insights for improving security protocols.

The recently updated MSRA not only accelerates troubleshooting and strengthens supplier collaboration but provides a scalable service adaptable to various installations. Included in this rollout are enhanced policies and procedures for OT cybersecurity, developed by experts aligned with international standards, further bolstering security protocols.

Commitment to Cybersecurity

Rockwell Automation’s commitment to industrial cybersecurity is evident in its comprehensive suite of SecureOT solutions. The offerings are designed to guide manufacturers through the complexities of evaluating, protecting, and continuously enhancing their OT security policies.
