Securely Manage Your OT Systems Remotely: Introducing Secure Remote Access

 

The industrial landscape relies heavily on Operational Technology (OT) systems.  From managing factory automation to monitoring power grids, these systems often require remote access for maintenance, troubleshooting, and updates.

However, traditional remote access methods can introduce security vulnerabilities.

Take advantage of our cyber consultancy packages and training courses to understand your strengths and vulnerabilities and how best to improve them, with guidance from our cyber experts. 

OT Cyber Security Training

Understanding cyber security is essential in the industrial sector.

Through our specialised training programmes we empower your workforce with capabilities and insights, strengthening your defences against cyber attacks.

Our Secure Remote Access Solutions

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Strengthen your security posture with multi-factor authentication.  This requires users to provide additional verification factors, like a one-time code, alongside their username and password, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorised access to your OT systems.

Granular Access Control

Grant users the access they need, and nothing more.  Granular access control lets you define precise permissions that restrict users to specific applications, functions, and data within your OT environment.  This minimises the potential damage if a breach were to occur.

Session Monitoring & Recording

Maintain complete oversight of remote access activity with session monitoring and recording. This allows you to track who accessed what, when, and for what purpose. Session recordings provide valuable evidence in case of security incidents and ensure accountability for remote access activities.

Secure Communication Protocols

Safeguard data transmission during remote access sessions with robust encryption protocols.  Our solutions use industry-standard encryption to ensure that all data exchanged between users and your OT systems remains confidential and protected from prying eyes.

Least Privilege Access

Minimise potential damage from unauthorised access by enforcing the principle of least privilege.  This means users only have the minimum level of access required to perform their tasks.  This reduces the attack surface and limits the potential impact if a user's credentials are compromised.

The Challenge of Traditional Remote Access

  • Unsecured connections: Remote desktop protocols (RDP) and VPNs offer a convenient access point, but often lack robust security features, leaving your OT systems exposed.
  • Limited user access control: Traditional methods make it difficult to restrict access privileges, potentially allowing unauthorised users to access critical systems.
  • Increased attack surface: Every open remote access point creates a potential entry point for cyberattacks.
  • IT tools are not always suitable for OT deployments: unique features such as session recording and monitoring or pre-authorisation are not always present.

Secure Remote Access: A Safer Approach

Our Secure Remote Access solutions provide a secure and reliable way to manage your OT systems remotely:

  • Multi-factor authentication: Add an extra layer of security by requiring multiple verification steps before granting access.
  • Granular access control: Define precise user permissions, restricting access to specific applications, functions, and data within your OT environment.
  • Session monitoring and recording: Maintain a clear audit trail of all remote access activity, ensuring accountability and allowing for security investigations if necessary.
  • Secure communication protocols: Our solutions use robust encryption protocols to safeguard data transmission during remote access sessions.
  • Least privilege access: Enforce the principle of least privilege, granting users only the minimum level of access required for their tasks.

Benefits of Secure Remote Access

Investing in Secure Remote Access for your OT systems allows you to:

  • Enhanced Security: Mitigate risks associated with traditional remote access methods.
  • Improved Efficiency: Enable authorised personnel to access and manage OT systems remotely, saving time and resources.
  • Reduced Downtime: Respond to issues and perform maintenance tasks promptly, minimizing downtime for your operations.
