OPSWAT and Emerson have announced a global strategic reseller agreement that will bring OPSWAT’s industry-proven cybersecurity technologies to Emerson’s power and water industry customers. As the first initiative under this enterprise-wide agreement, Emerson will integrate OPSWAT’s scalable and safe operational technology (OT) patch management capabilities into its Ovation™ Automation Platform.
The new OT patch management solution further builds on the collaboration to date by securing the Ovation Platform through OPSWAT’s MetaDefender Endpoint™ and My OPSWAT™ Central Management On-Premises, part of Emerson’s purpose-built power and water cybersecurity suite of solutions.
Critical infrastructure operators, including power generation and water/wastewater utilities, continue to face increasing cyber threats, regulatory pressure, and operational risk stemming from unpatched vulnerabilities.
OPSWAT’s solution for the Ovation Automation Platform delivers a modernized patch management approach designed specifically for industrial environments, addressing challenges posed by a mix of modern and legacy tools and the ongoing surge of nation-state and ransomware activity targeting the energy and water sectors.
Emerson offers the Ovation Automation Platform globally, with more than 800 sites already utilizing cybersecurity technologies specifically designed to provide critical industries, like power, water, and wastewater, with proven solutions backed by operational expertise.
The new strategic collaboration expands on the well-established DeltaV™ Alliance agreement between OPSWAT and Emerson for OPSWAT’s MetaDefender Kiosk™, and MetaDefender Unidirectional Security Gateway™ for the DeltaV Automation Platform.
