NetFoundry OT Product Builder Demo

In this presentation, Hersh Sanghvi from NetFoundry demonstrates how Operational Technology (OT) product builders can embed zero-trust connectivity directly into their devices. This built-in secure networking bypasses the traditionally slow and complex IT security approvals required by customers, allowing OT vendors to seamlessly and securely access their deployed products remotely. By utilizing automated, "just-in-time" access, companies can quickly troubleshoot hardware, ensure regulatory compliance, and significantly reduce the operational costs associated with on-site visits. Three Key Takeaways: 1) Overcoming Traditional Connectivity Bottlenecks: Relying on traditional VPNs or navigating a customer's internal IT and security processes can delay deployments and troubleshooting by weeks or months. By embedding secure connectivity directly into the product, vendors avoid these hurdles and drastically reduce the need for expensive on-site visits ("truck rolls"). 2) Just-in-Time, Least-Privilege Access: The demonstration highlights a highly secure, automated workflow for remote troubleshooting. A support engineer is granted temporary access to specific customer resources only after a support ticket is approved. Once the task is complete and the ticket is closed, access is instantaneously revoked, ensuring strict security boundaries are maintained. 3) Driving Compliance and New Revenue Streams: Operating with secure-by-design connectivity makes it much easier to comply with strict, incoming cybersecurity regulations (such as the CRA). Furthermore, reliable remote access enables OT builders to launch new, revenue-generating services for their customers, such as proactive maintenance and AI-driven analytics.
