SSH Is a Leader in OT/ICS Categories

As industrial organizations modernize and converge IT and OT systems, secure remote access (SRA) has become essential. This KuppingerCole Leadership Compass evaluates the market's leading SRA solutions tailored for Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS)—from legacy system support to Zero Trust architectures.

Key Takeaways

  • Regulations like IEC 62443, NERC CIP, and NIS2 demand strict, monitored remote access.
  • Traditional VPNs fall short. Zero Trust, policy-controlled SRA is quickly becoming the industry standard.
  • SSH PrivX OT is recognized as a market leader, offering passwordless, just-in-time access, wide protocol support, and deployment flexibility (on-prem, cloud, or air-gapped).
