Rockwell Automation Unveils SecureOT to Tackle Rising Cybersecurity Norms

Rockwell Automation, Inc., a frontrunner in industrial automation, unveiled SecureOTTM, a cybersecurity tool for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). This suite aids in compliance with forthcoming regulations like the Cyber Resilience Act and Machinery Regulation, which will be enforceable by 2026-2027. SecureOT aims to simplify compliance, enhance secure-by-design methods, and manage cybersecurity risks across the machine lifecycle.

With the industry's regulatory landscape shifting, OEMs need to demonstrate cybersecurity readiness and maintain detailed documentation. Rockwell's research indicates that 40% of OEMs are already adapting to these evolving requirements, while 63% foresee continuing cyber risks. SecureOT addresses these concerns through comprehensive assessments and machine-level visibility.

SecureOT's capabilities include advisory services, vulnerability identification, and compliance reporting. These tools empower OEMs to shift from reactive to proactive cybersecurity measures, fortifying their strategic advantage. Rockwell Automation's initiative underscores the importance of integrating technology and industrial expertise in cybersecurity efforts.
