In Operational Technology (OT) environments, remote connectivity must be secure by design. Whether it’s a remote engineer performing diagnostics or a vendor accessing critical infrastructure, unmanaged access can expose your systems to cyber threats, human error, and compliance violations.
Soterics helps you enable secure, traceable, and compliant remote access—without compromising operational efficiency or flexibility.
Why it mattersRemote access is a double-edged sword
Remote access is a double-edged sword. It enables productivity and operational flexibility—but also introduces risk. Weak authentication, unmanaged user privileges, or unmonitored sessions can expose your organization to data breaches, operational disruption, and regulatory non-compliance.
Soterics helps you:
Enforce strong access controls for internal and external users
Protect critical assets from misuse or unauthorized access
Demonstrate compliance with NIS2, IEC 62443, and other standards
Maintain operational continuity without increasing attack surface
With the right controls in place, remote access becomes a strength—not a vulnerability.

CaseSecuring remote access
A mid-sized European manufacturer operating multiple production sites needed a secure, compliant solution for enabling remote access to its OT systems. Their previous setup—based on open VPN connections—offered no session visibility or control, creating significant cybersecurity and operational risks.
With increasing pressure from NIS2 and customer audits, the organization turned to Soterics for a secure, scalable, and audit-ready approach.
Soterics deployed the WALLIX Bastion, enabling centralized Secure Remote Access (SRA) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) without disrupting production.
Key actions included:
Replacing unmanaged VPNs with a controlled remote access platform across all sites
Integrating WALLIX with Active Directory for role-based access control
Enabling session recording, logging, and approval workflows for third-party vendors
Establishing secure pathways to PLCs and HMIs without exposing the OT network
Aligning procedures and training with IEC 62443 and NIS2 requirements
Results:
Remote troubleshooting and updates now fully traceable across four production facilities
All third-party sessions logged and recorded to meet audit demands
Remote access setup and approval time reduced by 65%
Direct access to OT assets eliminated, strengthening the organization’s cyber resilience
“Thanks to Soterics and WALLIX, we have full control over who accesses what, when, and why — without disrupting production.”
