Though commonly used, jump servers have significant limitations as a remote access method in OT environments. See how to improve security, control, and operational agility with identity-based, zero trust access.
This blog explains why VPNs fall short in OT environments, exposing organizations to risks like lateral movement, lack of visibility, and insecure protocol access. By contrast, a zero trust, identity-based approach enables secure remote access with granular control, full visibility, and real-time enforcement.
Recording remote OT sessions doesn’t guarantee clear visibility into what actually happened. Intelligent session analysis can turn recordings into searchable operational insights that help teams investigate incidents and respond faster.
VPNs weren’t designed to support critical industrial control systems or live manufacturing lines. See how vendor VPN access creates operational friction and misalignment in OT environments.
Shared vendor logins feel efficient, but they can obscure accountability and slow recovery when something goes wrong. This blog explores the operational risks of shared accounts and offers practical tips for how to control remote third-party access without disrupting production.
Remote access has become a permanent and unavoidable part of cyber-physical systems (CPS) operations. But many industrial organizations still rely on legacy access methods that were not designed for safety-first, industrial environments. The 2026 Gartner® Market Guide for CPS Secure Remote Access delivers a clear message: VPNs, jump servers, and IT-centric access tools create unacceptable risk because they lack asset-level, protocol-aware, and operational controls. To better protect critical systems and processes, “organizations are pivoting from ‘secure connectivity’ to ‘secure operations’ with fit for purpose cyber-physical systems secure remote access products.”
