For more than a century, Rockwell Automation has helped advance how the world builds, moves, and protects what matters most. That legacy reflects a steady progression from early controls to PLCs to connected operations that helps the industry run with precision and confidence.
The next wave of progress is securing digital operations. Connecting industrial environments unlocks new insights and efficiencies, but it also introduces greater risk. Many operational technology (OT) systems are aging, fragmented, and weren’t originally designed with cybersecurity in mind. Traditional IT tools and strategies aren’t enough to secure these environments without disrupting uptime.
At the same time, nation-states, cybercriminals, hacktivists, and AI-driven exploits grow more sophisticated in their cyberattacks, and the industrial systems that keep businesses moving become their top target. To stay ahead of evolving threats, organizations need effective security strategies and technology built for the realities of OT.
Introducing SecureOT
SecureOT™ solution suite was created to meet growing industry demands for resilient operations across every stage of the industrial cybersecurity lifecycle. SecureOT combines SecureOT Platform (formerly known as Verve Security Center) with professional and managed security services, leveraging a vendor-neutral, OT-specific, and globally scalable approach.
SecureOT takes a unified approach to helping organizations mature and scale their cybersecurity programs, adapt to operational realities, and navigate regulatory pressures. It connects decades of OT expertise from Rockwell Automation with OT-specific protection and modern cybersecurity frameworks to help protect the systems that power everyday life.
How SecureOT Adds Value to Industrial Organizations
Built for the complexity of OT environments and backed by 100+ years of industrial expertise, SecureOT delivers real-time visibility, control, and confidence to help secure operations end-to-end. It meets organizations where they are in their cybersecurity journey, providing comprehensive protection across the risk landscape so production and modernization can advance together.
SecureOT tackles diverse, aging OT systems with a vendor-neutral approach that integrates seamlessly into existing architectures. This flexibility delivers a comprehensive risk view while maximizing existing investments. And with deep asset discovery and contextual analysis at the core of SecureOT Platform, security teams can quickly identify and prioritize OT risks from legacy and modern systems alike. This enables rapid and integrated remediation, reducing time to improved security posture and helping organizations maintain operational continuity.
SecureOT Capabilities: Built on Legacy, Designed for What’s Next
Rockwell Automation helps manufacturers and critical infrastructure harness innovation with our deep understanding of OT, commitment to creating the future of secure digital operations, and a comprehensive set of capabilities across the entire risk landscape.
Strategic Advisory
SecureOT brings IT and OT teams together under one strategy built on globally recognized frameworks like NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CF), NIS2, and IEC 62443. Aligning with these standards not only strengthens security posture but also helps build the business case for industrial cybersecurity, driving action through assessments, ROI quantification, and regulatory compliance. This comprehensive approach lays the groundwork for a clear, tailored roadmap that prioritizes risk reduction and minimizes the impact of potential future threats.
Industrial Networking and Infrastructure
With SecureOT, Rockwell Automation has evolved to address growing complexity and security demands by leveraging deep industrial networking expertise to design, implement, and manage critical network infrastructure for industrial companies. Building on our leadership, SecureOT designs secure architectures based on Converged Plantwide Ethernet (CPwE) principles, incorporating solutions for segmentation, virtualization, and secure remote access to enable high availability, scalability, and cost-efficiency. What once required in-house efforts is now streamlined into a unified, fully managed solution with 24/7 remote support, proactive monitoring, and full lifecycle management. This helps companies transform fragmented, vulnerable systems into resilient, scalable networks, so they can focus on production while helping to safeguard their operations.
Asset Inventory and Lifecycle Management
From the earliest control systems to today’s smart factories, we’ve remained steadfast in our commitment to understanding and optimizing industrial operations. SecureOT Platform extends that legacy by providing full visibility into OT assets, regardless of manufacturer, while providing context-rich risk insights for a holistic view of the risk landscape. Going beyond basic asset discovery, the platform consolidates thousands of data points into a single, unified view, establishing a unified, data-driven foundation for proactive risk management. This depth of insight streamlines security operations, strengthens resilience, and enables organizations to manage assets across their lifecycles.
Risk and Vulnerability Management
For decades, we have helped manufacturers navigate operational risk and increase production uptime. SecureOT Platform builds on that expertise by applying multi-dimensional risk scoring to better understand how OT environment risk could impact operations. SecureOT Platform enables integrated remediation response such as configuration, patch, and exposure management. Efficiency is boosted when the full process is managed from a single platform designed for OT environments and results in improved security maturity without slowing production.
Managed Detection and Response
As securing digital operations becomes increasingly complex, SecureOT remains committed to delivering the insights and support needed to keep industrial systems running smoothly. Our managed detection and response (MDR) services provide 24/7 continuous monitoring and advanced analytics purpose-built for OT environments, bridging operational insight with cybersecurity to reduce alert fatigue and accelerate remediation. Through our dedicated OT Security Operations Center (SOC) and Network Operations Center (NOC), experienced OT cybersecurity professionals act as an extension of your operations team - minimizing disruption, driving cost efficiencies, and filling critical skills gaps. By integrating seamlessly into existing architectures, SecureOT’s Security Monitoring and Response service compiles data from multiple sources to help identify and prioritize risks before they impact production. This proactive approach allows organizations to stay ahead of threats, maintain uptime, and strengthen their security posture without overburdening internal resources.
Incident Response and Recovery
As the volume and sophistication of cyber threats continue to evolve, industrial companies need to be prepared to quickly and securely restore operations after a cyberattack or disruption. When an incident occurs, the top priority is rapid containment, eradication, and system restoration to minimize downtime and damage. SecureOT enables this through comprehensive forensic analysis, root-cause investigation, and long-term resilience planning – restoring trust in operations and enabling continued progress. Backed by 24x7x365 onsite and remote support, these solutions allow production to resume efficiently while detailed post-incident investigations inform strategies to strengthen future cyber resilience.
Built for Progress: How SecureOT Evolves
From electromechanical controls to autonomous operations, Rockwell Automation continually evolves to support industry challenges and demands. SecureOT is built from that same accord. It integrates people, processes, and technology into a living security program for end-to-end resilience.
SecureOT marks a long-term commitment to continuous improvement, collaboration, and customer-first innovation with a foundation for new capabilities and partnerships.
When security evolves, so does possibility. SecureOT is the next chapter in Rockwell Automation’s legacy to tie industrial innovation together with cybersecurity resilience.
