The Ultimate Buyer’s Guide for Secure Access Solutions

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) form the foundation of many critical infrastructure sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, and more. In these critical sectors, remote access solutions are increasingly used to operate, maintain, and update CPS in production or mission-critical environments, influenced by safety, contractual obligations, and labor pressures.

However, traditional access solutions like VPNs and jump servers have proven increasingly ineffective because they weren’t designed for the unique constraints of CPS environments.

In this guide, we will break down the following topics to ensure you are choosing the right vendor to meet your unique needs:

1. The CPS cybersecurity landscape  

2. Criteria to consider when looking for a secure remote access solution 

3. Key outcomes of secure access

4. The core controls on which to evaluate a secure access solution

The secure access vendor selection process is not an easy one, that’s why we’ve created this guide to ensure your organization knows what to look for in order to efficiently protect critical OT, IoT, and your entire XIoT ecosystem.
