The Problem

Industrial networks are more vulnerable than ever

Cyberattacks like ransomware can cause unplanned downtime as well as risk people and plant safety. With IoT/OT devices becoming increasingly connected, plant operators must now account for cyber-physical risks while ensuring efficient remote operations.

Traditional approaches to factory management require network connections, which expose critical systems to malware risk from infected devices and files. Threats can move laterally from IT to OT systems, resulting in downtime, ransomware attacks, and threats to people and plant safety.

Product Details

Stop lateral movement of threats and ensure plant uptime

Zscaler Privileged Remote Access (PRA) ensures secure remote access to OT/IIoT systems without VPNs or device agents. Using the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ platform, plant operators can enable remote employees, contractors, and third-party technicians to remotely maintain critical OT systems with role-based, just-in-time access.

Clientless Browser-Based Access

Enable third-parties and remote technicians to securely connect to RDP/SSH/VNC targets through any browser.

Sandboxed File Transfers

Protect critical OT systems against zero-day threats and APTs with Zscaler Cloud Sandbox.

Audit and Governance Controls

Reduce third-party risk with session recording, session sharing, and ushered access.

Credential Vault and Mapping

Store credentials to target systems in a cloud vault and share access through mapping policies.

Time-Bound and Just-in-Time Access

Allot to maintenance windows and provision JIT access for emergency maintenance.

Clipboard Controls

Limit copy/paste capabilities based on zero trust policies to protect sensitive data.

Benefits
