Cyber-physical systems (CPS) secure remote access solutions allow employees, contractors and OEMs to access production or mission-critical assets remotely for the purpose of safely and securely operating, maintaining or updating them. They provide a robust mechanism to verify the identity of users, ensure secure communications and track the integrity of the actions being taken. Unlike traditional remote access methods, which often lack the granularity and security needed for CPS, these solutions offer specialized features such as agentless access, reliable operation in high-latency or intermittently connected environments, and the ability to provide access to specific devices rather than entire networks. This ensures that both internal and third-party users can securely interact with CPS without compromising the integrity or security of the system. They also support multiple security controls such as sessions management/recording, file transfers with malware scanning, multifactor authentication (MFA), audit trails, and least privilege over access, assets and sessions. These solutions are crucial because CPS, which intertwine computational elements with physical machinery and infrastructure (like industrial control systems, smart grids, or autonomous vehicles), can suffer severe real-world consequences - including safety hazards, environmental damage, or operational failure-if accessed inappropriately or maliciously.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Secure Remote Access Solutions

Gartner defines the cyber-physical systems (CPS) protection platforms market as products that use knowledge of industrial protocols, operational/production network packets or traffic metadata, and physical process asset behavior to discover, categorize, map and protect CPS in production or mission-critical environments outside of enterprise IT environments. CPS protection platforms can be delivered from the cloud, on-premises or in hybrid form. Gartner defines CPS as engineered systems that orchestrate sensing, computation, control, networking and analytics to interact with the physical world (including humans). When secure, they enable safe, real-time, reliable, resilient and adaptable performance.

CPS Protection Platforms

Gartner defines operational technology (OT) as “hardware and software that detects or causes a change, through direct monitoring and/or control of industrial equipment, assets, processes and events”.
OT security includes practices and technologies used to protect them, but these practices and technologies are now evolving into distinct categories to address the growing threats, security practices and vendor dynamics.

Operational Technology Security (Transitioning to CPS Protection Platforms)

Operational Technology Security

The amount of information being transmitted from things continues to rise. Much of this data originates outside of the enterprise. The scale of security risks in the Internet of Things (IoT) era is therefore much greater than in the pre-IoT environment, and the 'attack surface' is much larger. Most sensor-based things have minimal computing resources, and the opportunities for antivirus, encryption and other forms of protection within things are more restricted. Therefore, IoT security products with a variety of capabilities emerged to help dispel some of these challenges.

IoT Security

The medical device security solutions market addresses software; hardware; and network and data protection requirements for IoMT devices. These solutions enable organizations to manage IoMT devices securely; ensure IoMT endpoint and data integrity; and perform asset discovery. They share many technologies and processes used in IT and cyber-physical systems (CPS) security, such as deep packet inspection and risk identification. Medical device security solutions can help CIOs engender trust and provide safe, secure and reliable digital care delivery products and services.

Claroty CTD has worked great in our environment. It required some work and time to set it up, but the Claroty team was there to guide us. Overall, this tool helped us with asset inventory and overtime turned into a fully functioning SIEM with RMF features that help us with patch cycles.
Claroty Edge had a rough start, but once we got it going automatically on our machines, it provided data with detailed information on the assets. This data, combined with Claroty CTD allowed us to have a good vision over our environment (assets, data flow, common trends, vulnerabilities, vector of attacks, etc.).

IT - Manufacturing Production Support

The vendor is amazingly customer focused, and the service representatives are knowledgeable and professional. The Secure Remote Access tool is PERFECT for our environment.
