How does this differ from traditional IT infrastructure?

This capability combines hardware and technology designed specifically for OT environments with decades of OT-specific expertise to help manufacturers modernize and secure operations without compromising production.

How does this support OT cybersecurity initiatives?

A secure, validated architecture sets the foundation for a successful OT cybersecurity program. Industrial Networking and Infrastructure helps organizations reduce exposure, improve visibility, support segmentation strategies and create a resilient environment that enables broader cybersecurity initiatives.

Do I need to replace existing infrastructure?

Not necessarily. We are now able to support industrial teams in modernizing existing environments, supporting current infrastructure investments and developing phased approaches that align with operational priorities, budgets and lifecycle requirements.

What is included in Infrastructure Managed Services?

Infrastructure Managed Services provides 24x7 support, monitoring, administration, patch management, lifecycle support, warranty management and hardware replacement services to help manufacturers maintain secure, highly available OT infrastructure. See Infrastructure Managed Services tiered support levels here .

Can solutions be deployed across multiple facilities?

Yes. SecureOT Industrial Networking and infrastructure is designed to support everything from single-site operations to globally distributed enterprises through standardized architectures, centralized support and scalable deployment models.

How do I determine which infrastructure solution is right for my environment?

Our OT specialists work with customers to evaluate operational requirements, existing infrastructure, cybersecurity objectives, and growth plans to recommend the most appropriate architecture, infrastructure and support model.
