Securing Industrial Operations

In today’s hyperconnected industrial landscape, cybersecurity is no longer optional. Operational Technology (OT) systems are increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats. At Staro Process Control, we partner with Rockwell Automation to offer cutting-edge OT security solutions tailored for industrial environments—ensuring your operations stay safe, compliant, and resilient.

What Makes OT Security Different?

OT environments power real-world infrastructure—water plants, energy grids, factories. A single security breach can shut down production or endanger lives. Unlike traditional IT systems, OT systems:

• Have long lifespans and outdated firmware

• Cannot afford downtime for patching

• Use specialized protocols (Modbus, EtherNet/IP, etc.)

• Prioritize availability and safety over confidentiality

🛡️ Rockwell Automation’s Approach to OT Security

Rockwell Automation offers a layered, holistic approach to OT cybersecurity. Key components include:

1. Asset Inventory & Network Visibility

• FactoryTalk® AssetCentre: Tracks all devices and their configurations.

• Provides a real-time view of OT assets and system health.

2. Industrial Firewalls & Segmentation

• Stratix® Security Appliances and Cisco partnerships enable secure IT/OT segmentation.

• Prevents lateral movement and isolates sensitive control systems.

3. User Access & Identity Management

• Integrates with Active Directory for role-based access control.

• Prevents unauthorized changes to control logic and PLCs.

4. Threat Detection & Response

• Threat detection platforms using anomaly-based monitoring.

• Compatible with solutions like Claroty and Nozomi for deep packet inspection.

5. Remote Access Security

• Secure remote access with built-in firewalls, VPNs, and two-factor authentication.

• Reduces the risk of third-party intrusion.

6. Secure Product Development Lifecycle (SDL)

• Rockwell Automation products are built with cybersecurity principles in every phase—design, testing, and deployment.
