White Paper OT Security:

Enhanced Security for Industrial Networks

Transparency, secure authentication and precise access control in mission critical networks

Today's OT network operators face numerous challenges in planning and implementing a comprehensive network security strategy in industrial environments. These challenges pose a risk to industrial assets and applications because they compromise visibility into activities across the network and compromise compliance with mandatory standards and regulations


Modern solutions to Network Access Control (NAC), combined with industrial-grade network devices for production environments, are now a critical building part in any network and security concept.

This white paper presents a powerful way to implement such a NAC concept, consisting of macmon NAC and Industrial Ethernet Switches from Hirschmann.

What's inside:
  • Fresh challenges for cyber security in mission critical networks
  • The role of network access control in IT and OT security
  • An overview of the solution from Hirschmann and macmon
