Integrated OT Security Solutions for Remote Access

This document is a technical report detailing the partnership between Dispel and Nozomi Networks to provide integrated operational technology (OT) security solutions. It outlines the challenges faced by industrial control systems (ICS) in critical infrastructure sectors, particularly regarding cyberattacks and the necessity for secure remote access (SRA) solutions. The report explains how traditional IT remote access methods, such as corporate VPNs, are inadequate for ICS/OT environments due to their unique requirements and compliance constraints. The joint solution combines Dispel's Moving Target Defense (MTD) SD-WAN infrastructure with Nozomi Networks' platform to enhance asset visibility and security. Key features include end-to-end encryption, micro-segmentation, and advanced threat detection. The report also highlights compliance with standards like IEC 62443 and NIST 800-82, emphasizing the importance of modernizing security measures to protect critical infrastructure effectively. Additionally, it discusses the operational benefits of the integrated solution, including simplified operations and accelerated return on investment.
