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 takeways:
- 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).
“PrivX OT is well-suited to large organizations in critical infrastructure, manufacturing, energy, and defense sectors with geographically distributed OT environments. The solution supports multiple deployment models and is designed for organizations requiring high scalability, advanced security controls, and compatibility with legacy OT systems without the need for endpoint agents.”
