Rockwell Automation Launches New OT Cyber Threat Detection and Response Service
New Product Provides 24/7 Real-Time Threat Detection and Response Services to Address Growing Cybersecurity Risks in Operational Technology Environments
Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, today announced the launch of its Security Monitoring and Response service, designed to provide continuous, real-time monitoring of operational technology (OT) environments. The Security Monitoring and Response service integrates seamlessly into existing architectures to help industrial organizations protect against cyber threats and build resilient operations.
Rockwell Automation Launches New OT Cyber Threat Detection and Response Service
Securing OT environments is becoming increasingly complex due to an increase in industrial cybersecurity incidents, vulnerabilities, and talent shortages. A recent State of Smart Manufacturing report found that cybersecurity risks and skilled worker shortages were among the top five external barriers facing critical manufacturing industries.
"As cyber risks continue to grow, manufacturers need to remain vigilant and have the right expertise to protect against evolving cyber threats. But they often lack the resources to do so," said Nick Creath, principal product manager, Cybersecurity Services, Rockwell Automation. "Security Monitoring & Response services provide the visibility, intelligence and rapid action needed to keep industrial environments secure by providing 24/7 continuous monitoring, real-time threat detection, and expert-led response. As a trusted partner, Rockwell Automation acts as an extension of its customers' teams, helping to close skills gaps while strengthening their security posture."
Powered by Rockwell Automation's OT Security Operations Center (SOC), the new offering addresses security risks, resource gaps and operational inefficiencies with a dedicated team of experienced OT cybersecurity analysts. Key capabilities of Security Monitoring & Response include:
Continuous Monitoring and Advanced Threat Detection: 24/7 real-time monitoring of OT environments to continuously monitor and rapidly detect potential threats. Rockwell Automation's OT cybersecurity analysts use advanced analytics to prioritize and investigate alerts, turning raw data into actionable insights.
Rapid Response and Remediation: Provides rapid response support when security incidents occur, with extensive knowledge and proven strategies. OT SOC analysts provide step-by-step support to help effectively manage incidents and reduce operational impact.
Comprehensive Reporting and Scalability: Comprehensive monthly executive summaries and quarterly business reviews keep stakeholders informed and engaged. Modular and scalable solutions are designed to meet the unique needs of each customer, providing flexibility and growth potential.
Security Monitoring and Response can help reduce disruptions, downtime and potential financial losses through early detection and threat mitigation, and improve operational efficiency by automating routine security tasks. The service also helps teams make data-based decisions, gain real-time security visibility, and bridge skills gaps through its dedicated security team, allowing manufacturers to focus on key business priorities while ensuring that operations are actively monitored and remain flexible.
Rockwell Automation will be present at the RSA Conference in San Francisco from April 28 to May 1. Please visit booth N-4628 to learn more about Security Monitoring and Response and other Rockwell Automation products.
Security Monitoring and Response Services are now available to Rockwell Automation customers and Rockwell Automation Security Partner customers.
