Manufacturing & Machine Builders

Production lines, robotic systems, CNC machines and quality systems are increasingly networked — and increasingly targeted. A stoppage costs money by the minute. A breach can mean stolen IP, manipulated processes and consequences that outlast the downtime.

Two worlds that were never designed to meet

OT was built for reliability and determinism, IT for connectivity. As they converge, the attack surface grows at every junction.

Machines live in customer networks for decades

Machine builders deliver equipment that sits in customer networks 10–20 years, needs remote maintenance, and may have no patch path.

A compromised endpoint sees the whole segment

An engineering workstation, supplier laptop or unpatched HMI gives an attacker visibility across the entire network segment.

The Xertified approach

Device-level protection — without disrupting operations

01

Protect production equipment without touching it

Locks install adjacent to PLCs, robots and CNC machines. No firmware changes, no software installation, no downtime during deployment.

02

Secure remote maintenance for machine builders

Ship a Lock with each machine. Your technicians connect via Key, the customer network is never exposed, and every session is logged.

03

IT/OT segmentation without network reconfiguration

Device-level segmentation without VLAN changes, firewall rules or network redesign — each asset gets its own access policy.

04

Stop lateral movement on the shop floor

With XoT-protected assets, a network breach does not become a production breach. Hidden assets are invisible from any compromised position.

Use cases

Production lines & robotics

High-value targets for disruption and IP theft — invisible, with preserved access for operators and maintenance.

CNC & precision manufacturing

Proprietary control software with limited patch support, protected externally — extending operational lifespan.

Machine builder remote service

Time-limited, device-specific sessions without customer VPNs — terminating automatically, fully audited.

Building & facility systems

HVAC, access control and energy management get the same device-level protection as production equipment.

Supports NIS2 access control (Art. 21.2i), supply chain security (Art. 21.2d) and incident logging (Art. 21.2b), IEC 62443 zones and conduits, and ISO 27001 access management objectives.
