Applying Zero Trust to OT Environments

Recently, Zscaler and Siemens announced the development of an all-in-one zero trust security platform for Operational Technology (OT) infrastructures to help our customers accelerate smart factory initiatives and reduce disruptive cyber threats to operations. This is especially timely and relevant, given manufacturers’ growing interest in implementation of smart factory initiatives. Applying a Zero Trust infrastructure to OT environments is critical to preventing debilitating cyberattacks that can disrupt production lines and cause financial and human loss.

This integrated solution allows factories to adapt their traditional defense-in-depth strategies to incorporate modern zero trust concepts and provide highly secure remote access to OT environments. Our joint customers can be confident that their remote workers and third-party vendors will be able to safely and reliably monitor, troubleshoot and repair production systems from anywhere in the world, boosting plant uptime and output, and ultimately improving the bottom line.

Offered directly from Siemens, customers can now buy Zscaler Remote Access for OT alongside Siemens’ industrial edge device SCALANCE LPE.
