In this white paper

As remote operations become the norm, cyber-physical systems (CPS) are increasingly exposed through legacy remote access methods such as VPNs and jump servers. These IT-centric tools lack the contextual awareness, granularity, and safety controls required for mission-critical environments — and are now a growing target for attackers.

In this report, Gartner® explores how organizations are shifting from secure connectivity to secure operations, adopting purpose-built CPS secure remote access solutions that enable Zero Trust, just-in-time access, protocol-level control, and full session visibility.
