IT-Centric Remote Access Solutions Often Struggle To Meet The Complex Demands of Industrial Environments
Cyber Physical environments need secure remote access that tackles the limitations of traditional tooling
IT-centric Doesn’t Work in OT Environments
IT-centric remote access solutions often fail to address the complex needs of industrial settings, resulting in security compromises. Traditional VPNs provide all-or-nothing access, risking critical infrastructure if credentials are breached, allowing attackers to access operational technology (OT) assets with potentially severe consequences.
Firewall Rules
Managing firewall rules and network access control lists (ACLs) can be a complex task, often leaving systems vulnerable to cyber threats like ransomware and spoofing. Traditional security measures typically do not account for operational technology (OT) protocols, complicating the implementation of precise access policies.
Privileged Access Management Tends to Exclude Some OT Assets
Jump servers and Privileged Access Management (PAM) tools are essential for security but often do not protect vulnerable OT assets like PLCs, weakening the least-privilege security model. Even advanced IT solutions lack the necessary control over diverse OT devices, leaving industrial environments at risk. Choosing a remote access platform designed for cyber-physical environments and their varied assets is crucial.
Identity-Driven Access
Armis’s SRA enhances comprehensive OT security by enabling the creation and enforcement of granular, identity-driven access policies between operational assets and remote users and applications. This capability ensures that digital interactions are securely managed without the need for disruptive changes to existing infrastructure. With SRA, Armis customers can seamlessly integrate sophisticated access controls, thereby improving overall security and operational efficiency.
Secure Across Zones
Protecting uptime whilst enabling access is at the core of our SRA capabilities. SRA bolsters Armis Centrix™ for OT/IoT Security by simplifying and securing connectivity. This eliminates the need to open multiple firewall ports for commonly used protocols like SSH, VNC, RDP, HTTPS, PROFINET, and Modbus. By doing so, it safeguards at-risk assets while maintaining productivity. Armis customers benefit from streamlined, secure access management that aligns with their operational requirements.
Policy driven, Audit Trails and Session Recording
SRA enhances Armis’s OT security by strengthening cyber-physical systems. It offers strong security features like access approval workflows and role-based access controls, no matter the device’s capabilities. Plus, it provides a single interface for managing, monitoring, and auditing remote activities, improving incident response and ensuring regulatory compliance. This gives Armis customers unmatched visibility, security, and control over their remote access.
