TXOne Networks Unveils Next Evolution of OT Cybersecurity

At the Gartner Security and Risk Management (SRM) Summit held from June 1-3, 2026, at the Gaylord National Harbor Resort, TXOne Networks presented a revolutionary approach to operational technology (OT) cybersecurity. With an emphasis on transitioning from mere visibility to enforceable protection, TXOne is at the forefront of enhancing security measures for industrial environments.

The company introduced its Discover-Assess-Protect framework, which provides a structured methodology for organizations aiming to safeguard their operations without incurring costly production downtime. As unplanned downtime can cost manufacturers between $125,000 and $300,000 per hour, the need for a proactive approach to cybersecurity has never been more pressing.

Key Components of TXOne's Framework

1. Discover: This initial phase focuses on achieving complete visibility of all OT assets within an organization, including recognizing devices that may not have been documented, which accounts for about 25% of the total assets.

2. Assess: Once visibility is established, the next step involves translating that visibility into actionable risk intelligence. This prioritizes remediation efforts on the areas that pose the highest operational risk, enabling organizations to address vulnerabilities where they matter most.

3. Protect: The final step of the framework closes the enforcement gap with production-safe protection methods tailored for industrial settings. This includes virtual patching for systems lacking vendor support, zero-reboot endpoint protection, and hardware solutions designed to maintain continuous operations without interruptions.

Michael Patton, Head of TXOne Networks in the Americas, emphasized the changing landscape of OT cybersecurity. He noted, "Industrial organizations are aware of their exposure through legacy systems and vulnerabilities. They have made substantial investments in visibility, but it is clear that understanding risk is just the beginning. The future of OT cybersecurity requires effective protection measures that allow for uninterrupted operations."

Evolution of Cyber Resilience in OT

The shift from a visibility-centric approach to enforceable protection signifies a broader evolution in how industrial organizations perceive cybersecurity. Today's environment demands more than monitoring threats; it requires systematic strategies to minimize risks effectively, ensuring that companies can sustain their operations amidst increasing cyber threats.

According to TXOne, their advancements in this realm have resulted in zero unplanned downtimes across more than 3,600 global deployments, a testament to the effectiveness of their innovative solutions.

For industry leaders and stakeholders, understanding this framework is crucial as it underscores a transformative shift towards operational continuity and cyber resilience. TXOne's commitment to providing tailored solutions for OT environments makes them a pivotal player in the future of cybersecurity.

During the Gartner SRM Summit, attendees can visit TXOne's booth (Booth 120) to gain deeper insights into the TXOne Complete OT framework and understand how they can effectively fortify their organizations against cyber risks while maintaining operational productivity.

As the landscape of cybersecurity continues to evolve, TXOne Networks stands at the forefront, leading the way in redefining how industrial organizations address their unique security challenges, ensuring a safe and resilient future for operational technology.
