Zero Trust-based Remote Access for Operational Cybersecurity

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions brought simplicity, scalability and more security for IT remote access use cases. This is long overdue for industrial cybersecurity. Traditional IT security approaches such as VPNs and Jump servers as well as IT security oriented ZTNA solutions have several limitations and complexity when it comes to providing streamlined and fully secure remote access for an Operational Technology (OT) environment where policies must be enforced for OT assets at the lowest level of the network. During this webinar, U.S. Space Force and Xage Security experts will explore how a Cybersecurity Mesh-based approach combined with zero trust principles can enable secure access to OT assets at different levels without compromising security measures like opening up RDP and VNC protocols through firewalls. We will discuss how the distributed enforcement of security services on a per asset basis with least privilege access and distributed data protection services can improve resiliency across various systems.
