OPSWAT MetaDefender OT Access: Bringing Third-Party Maintenance Access Under Control

MetaDefender OT Access is a secure access solution that governs employees' and third-party maintenance teams' remote or local access to critical OT systems with identity, device compliance and policy controls. Vendor maintenance is unavoidable in industrial facilities; granting it through permanent VPNs and shared accounts creates an uncontrolled path for attack.

How Does It Work?

Pre-connection device check: The device's security posture is assessed, and non-compliant or malware-risk devices cannot reach the critical network.

Narrowest access: Access is limited to the required asset and time window only.

Monitoring and logging: Activities performed are monitored and recorded.

Benefits for Organisations

Accountability is achieved without disrupting maintenance operations, and security and compliance risks from vendor connections drop.
