Secomea Advocates for Enhanced OT Cybersecurity Through Secure Remote Access

On June 23, 2026, Secomea emphasized the critical role of secure remote access in operational technology (OT) cybersecurity. As industrial environments increasingly connect various systems, the risk landscape has expanded beyond core control systems to include connected tools and users. Secomea's CTPO, Knud Kegel, stated that organizations must monitor who connects to their OT environments and ensure each session is authenticated and auditable. Recent incidents have highlighted vulnerabilities such as exposed access paths and weak authentication, which threaten production continuity and safety. Secomea's solutions aim to enhance governance over remote access, enabling manufacturers to manage user access and maintain compliance. The call to action focuses on intentional and controlled connectivity to mitigate risks associated with remote access.

Key Points: • Secomea stresses the need for secure remote access governance in OT environments. • Recent vulnerabilities expose risks to production continuity and safety in industrial systems. • Organizations must ensure all remote access sessions are authenticated and auditable.
