Rockwell Automation has launched an industrial cybersecurity offering to help manufacturers and critical infrastructure protect critical operations and build secure environments. SecureOT comprises Rockwell’s purpose-built SecureOT Platform, professional services and managed security services into a unified solution. It is designed for end-to-end protection for complex, ageing and highly regulated industrial systems.

SecureOT has been developed to address both legacy OT systems designed without cybersecurity in mind, and IT tools that fail to protect complex and ageing industrial environments. It aligns with global security frameworks including NIST CSF, NIS2 and IEC 62443. It takes a vendor-neutral approach to securing industrial control systems and technology stacks.

“Cyber threats to industrial operations are evolving faster than ever, and legacy defences simply can’t keep up,” said Matthew Fordenwalt, senior vice president, Lifecycle Services, Rockwell Automation. “SecureOT is more than a brand – it’s a strategic shift in how industrial organisations approach cybersecurity. We’re combining deep industrial expertise with OT-specific technology and services that help customers stay ahead of threats and keep operations running safely.”

“Industrial organisations need cybersecurity strategies built for the realities of OT,” said Hollie Hennessy, OT/IoT cybersecurity lead analyst at Omdia. “Rockwell Automation’s SecureOT addresses that need with a layered approach that integrates asset visibility, vulnerability management and managed detection services in one framework. It’s a significant step forward for industrial cybersecurity maturity.”
