Securing Industrial Operations: Rockwell Automation Unveils 24/7 OT Security Monitoring and Response Service

In the field of industrial control systems (OT), cybersecurity is as vital as air.
However, with evolving cyberattack methods and a shortage of specialized expertise, companies often face confusion when securing their OT infrastructure.
In response, Rockwell Automation, a leader in industrial automation, officially launched its new Security Monitoring and Response service this Monday.
Designed specifically for OT environments, the service delivers continuous, real-time threat monitoring and integrates seamlessly into existing security architectures, strengthening industrial organizations’ ability to counter cyber threats.

Recognizing Industry Pain Points, Closing the Security Protection Gap

Rockwell Automation clearly recognizes the cybersecurity challenges troubling industrial companies.
Its "State of Smart Manufacturing" report highlights cybersecurity risks and talent shortages as major concerns for critical manufacturing.
As Nick Creath, product manager for cybersecurity services at Rockwell, observed, companies are facing escalating threats but often lack sufficient resources to respond effectively.
The Security Monitoring and Response service aims to provide crucial visibility, timely risk analysis, and rapid threat response.
With uninterrupted surveillance, expert detection, and guided incident response, the service helps businesses address security concerns and strengthens their cybersecurity defenses.

Full Real-time Protection, Building an Impenetrable Security Fortress

At the core of the service is the Rockwell OT Security Operations Center (SOC), which functions as a constant sentinel against threats.
With 24/7 monitoring and intelligent alert prioritization, the SOC ensures accurate threat detection and swift response.
When incidents occur, professional teams manage emergency responses to minimize damage.
The service also provides detailed reports, including monthly executive summaries, quarterly reviews, and modular solutions tailored to customer needs.
By enabling early threat detection and mitigation, it helps reduce downtime, avoid financial losses, and boost operational efficiency.
Additionally, it supports businesses in making informed decisions based on data and addresses the shortage of cybersecurity personnel, allowing companies to focus on their core operations.

Looking to the Future, Joint Building of a New Industrial Security Ecosystem

Rockwell Automation will present its Security Monitoring and Response service at this year’s RSA Conference.
The service is now officially available to Rockwell and its security partners’ customers.
This launch marks a milestone in industrial cybersecurity and demonstrates Rockwell’s proactive approach to customer needs.
In today’s increasingly complex security landscape, such initiatives will set new industry benchmarks.
We can expect more innovation from companies like Rockwell Automation, collectively building a safer and more reliable industrial ecosystem.
