About MetaDefender OT Access
MetaDefender OT Access enables secure, just-in-time remote access to Operational Technology (OT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), allowing both internal employees and external vendors to connect safely over mutually authenticated, outbound-only TLS tunnels without exposing OT networks to inbound traffic risks. It supports various industrial and IT protocols (e.g., Ethernet/IP, MODBUS, OPC UA, S7Comm, Telnet, SSH, RDP, HTTPS), enabling compatibility across a wide range of legacy and modern OT infrastructure. Depending on deployment mode, the solution can be cloud-managed (with remote configuration via AWS-hosted services) or on-premises (with a local Management Console), making it suitable for both internet-connected and air-gapped environments. It leverages components such as an Admin UI, Windows client (or service-level client), and a Management Console (in on-site deployments) to manage connections and enforce security policies.
