Enable secure remote access to your OT assets

Securing remote access to operational technology (OT) assets has never been easier—or more scalable. Operate with better efficiency and get peace of mind with Cisco Secure Equipment Access.

Boost operational efficiency

Empower your operations team, contractors, and OEMs to remotely maintain and troubleshoot ICS and OT assets with an easy-to-use industrial remote access solution.

Enforce zero trust controls in OT

Configure least-privilege access based on identity and context policies. Enforce security controls such as schedules, device posture, single sign-on (SSO), and multifactor authentication (MFA).

Install and scale with ease

Stop struggling with complex firewall and DMZ setups. Secure Equipment Access embeds ZTNA into your Cisco industrial switches and routers so you can reach more assets, reduce the attack surface, and deploy at scale.

Access any remote asset the way you want

You just need a web browser. Clientless ZTNA supports SSH, RDP, VNC, Telnet, and HTTP(S). Agent-based ZTNA lets you use any desktop application for advanced maintenance tasks.
