Opswat MetaDefender OT Access

MetaDefender OT Access is a secure access solution that governs how employees and third-party maintenance teams reach critical OT systems, remotely or locally, through identity, device compliance and policy controls. Before a connection is made it assesses the device's security posture, limits access to the assets and time period required, and makes the activity carried out auditable.

Running third-party access through a controlled gateway, rather than granting it directly with VPNs and shared accounts, reduces the attack surface. Devices that are non-compliant or carry a malware risk can be blocked before they reach the critical network. Time-limited authorization, logging and central policy provide accountability without disrupting maintenance operations, and lower the security and compliance risks arising from supplier connections.
