Standard IT security gateways introduce network latency that disrupts time-sensitive Operational Technology (OT) environments. This added delay causes industrial control systems to fault, triggering costly process failures and emergency shutdowns.

The security tool itself introduces reliability failures. A gateway meant to secure the system causes it to fail by triggering emergency stops, process upsets, and line shutdowns. This happens because the added latency breaks real-time control loops that have millisecond-level timeout requirements.
OT (Operational Technology) engineers, industrial control system engineers, and plant floor managers responsible for network reliability and security.
Develop a zero-trust security solution specifically for OT environments that provides robust security without introducing latency that disrupts real-time control loops and safety interlocks.
Standard IT security gateways introduce network latency that disrupts time-sensitive Operational Technology (OT) environments. This added delay causes industrial control systems to fault, triggering costly process failures and emergency shutdowns.
A specialized security gateway that implements Zero Trust principles specifically for OT networks. It provides robust microsegmentation and access control without adding the latency that interferes with real-time industrial control loops.
Urgency and Friction are high because the problem causes critical failures like line shutdowns, a direct workflow blocker. The Trend score reflects the growing push for OT security, making this an accelerating issue. Signal Depth is strong due to quantified latency and specific technical examples.
