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 enables the industry to run with precision and confidence.
Securing digital operations is the next immediate evolution in this progression. Connecting industrial environments unlocks new insights and efficiencies, but it also introduces greater risk. Many operational technology (OT) systems are aging, fragmented or 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, programmatic approach to empowering organizations to proactively mature and scale their cybersecurity programs, adapt to operational realities and navigate regulatory pressures. It connects 100+ years of industrial 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
SecureOT solution suite allows organizations to reduce cyber risk without slowing production or transformation efforts. By delivering real-time visibility, actionable context and greater operational confidence, it enables a more secure path to modernization regardless of where organizations are in their cybersecurity journey.
Built to work across heterogeneous OT environments, SecureOT integrates seamlessly into existing architectures and investments. Its deep asset discovery and contextual analysis capabilities uncover cyber exposures across both legacy and modern systems, allowing teams to prioritize what matters most and streamline remediation efforts. The result is stronger resilience, faster risk reduction and more reliable operations.
SecureOT™ Capabilities: Built on Legacy, Designed for What’s Next
Rockwell Automation supports manufacturers and critical infrastructure organizations to accelerate digital transformation through deep OT expertise, a commitment to secure operations and a comprehensive portfolio of cybersecurity capabilities.
Strategic Advisory
SecureOT™ Strategic Advisory Services enable organizations to move from understanding risk to managing it with confidence. Through a consultative, structured assessment of your industrial cybersecurity posture, we measure your environment against IEC 62443, NIST CSF or EU’s NIS2 frameworks to identify and quantify areas of exposure and build a defensible, risk-based program. 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
Built on our deep industrial networking expertise and Converged Plantwide Ethernet (CPwE) principles, SecureOT™ Industrial Networking and Infrastructure helps manufacturers create resilient OT architectures that support high availability, scalability, and cost-efficiency. By combining secure connectivity, segmentation, visualization, managed remote access and industrial infrastructure with 24/7 proactive monitoring, administration and full lifecycle management, companies can transform fragmented, vulnerable systems into reliable, scalable networks, so they can focus on production while helping to safeguard their operations.
Asset Inventory and Lifecycle Management
Without a complete view of industrial assets, risk remains hidden. Asset Inventory and Lifecycle Management provides the visibility and context needed to secure and manage OT environments effectively. SecureOT™ Platform enables full visibility of 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 cohesive, 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
Once asset inventory is underway, SecureOT Platform identifies vulnerabilities and applies multi-dimensional risk scoring to better understand how OT environment risk could impact operations. With Risk and Vulnerability Management, automated monitoring and actions such as configurationand patch management are integrated within one single platform. This allows organizations to prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities faster, minimize risk and optimize resources and costs without slowing production.
Managed Detection and Response
Many industrial organizations lack internal OT and cybersecurity personnel and resources to continuously monitor their risk landscape. SecureOT™ Security Monitoring and Response is our managed detection and response (MDR) service that provides 24/7 continuous monitoring and advanced analytics purpose-built for OT environments. 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, this service compiles data from multiple sources to help identify and prioritize risks before they impact production.
Incident Response and Recovery
When a cyberattack incident occurs, top priorities are rapid containment, eradication and system restoration to minimize downtime and accelerate recovery. A well-prepared response plan is crucial. SecureOT™ Incident Response and Recovery allows long-term resilience planning through comprehensive data analysis, forensic and root-cause investigation, containment and restoration. With 24/7 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 proactive, continuous security program for end-to-end resilience.
SecureOT marks a long-term commitment to ongoing improvement, collaboration, and customer-first innovation with a foundation for new capabilities and partnerships.
From establishing a secure architecture to uninterrupted risk management, SecureOT provides the expertise, technology and services needed to protect critical operations across your entire industrial ecosystem. When security evolves, so does possibility. SecureOT is the next evolution in Rockwell Automation’s legacy to tie industrial innovation together with cybersecurity resilience.
