VALIDATED OT SECURITY TECHNOLOGIES

Streamline OT security assessments with validated, field-ready technologies.

OT security assessment teams are under pressure to deliver faster, more comprehensive assessments across increasingly complex industrial environments — often with limited time onsite and limited internal resources.

OT Cyber Direct helps assessment teams accelerate engagements with validated technologies designed specifically for operational technology environments. Every product in our marketplace is evaluated in our OT Security Lab for ease of deployment, practical field use, and value to industrial assessment workflows.

SECTION 01 — OUTCOMES

Technologies that help assessment teams move faster.

Our solutions are selected to help consulting firms, MSSPs, utilities, manufacturers, and industrial operators do the following:

Rapidly discover OT and industrial assets.

Identify unmanaged and wireless-connected devices.

Validate network segmentation and remote-access exposure.

Safely collect network intelligence in production environments.

Improve visibility into attack paths and cyber risk.

Simplify data collection for customer reports and remediation planning.

Reduce time spent manually mapping industrial networks.

Every product is reviewed in our OT Security Lab to ensure it delivers practical operational value — not just marketing claims.

SECTION 02 — EVALUATION

Designed for real-world OT environments.

Unlike traditional IT security tools, the technologies we evaluate are selected for industrial environments where uptime, safety, and operational continuity matter. Our evaluation criteria include:

Ease of installation and configuration.

Safe operation in production OT networks.

Minimal operational disruption.

Portability for field assessments.

API integration and data export capabilities.

Practical deployment by experienced network engineers without extensive vendor professional services.

SECTION 03 — IN PRACTICE

Example use cases.

Assessment teams use these technologies to:

Conduct OT asset discovery and inventory validation.

Identify rogue or wireless-connected endpoints.

Capture network traffic for deeper analysis.

Validate segmentation between IT and OT networks.

Assess remote-access security posture.

Aggregate traffic from SPAN ports, TAPs, and industrial segments.

Support compliance and cyber-insurance readiness assessments.

Create virtual pen tests and attack-path analysis.

Improve customer remediation prioritization with attack-path analysis.
