OT Security Needs Unity

The problem with patchwork Industrial Security

The problem with patchwork Industrial Security

Industrial networks have grown connected and complex. Most setups rely on fragmented tools that don’t talk to each other.

  • Siloed solutions create blind spots and additional toil for IT teams.

  • Manual integration wastes time and introduces room for errors.

  • Inflexible architectures slow down teams and limit scalability.

IT teams are stuck firefighting — pulled away from higher-value work like deploying new tech, strengthening resilience, and supporting growth.

Trout Access Gate

Trout creates an intelligent security layer that works with your existing network topology

Trout creates an intelligent security layer that works with your existing network topology

Trout is a drop-in appliance for OT networks — built to give IT teams visibility and control without the usual overhead. No more SSH’ing into devices to tcpdump, managing a fleet of agents, or fielding endless VLAN access requests.


Everything you need in one appliance

Plug & See. Connect Trout to your firewall or switch — see assets and protocol flows. No additional rewiring needed or VLAN work.

Segment & Control. Define software-enforced zones to isolate systems and enforce least-privilege access across your network.

Secure Remote Access. Grant on-demand, policy-driven access for contractors or remote teams — with visibility and control.

Log & Prove. Capture clean, structured logs from the edge. Feed them into your SIEM or use them for root-cause and audit trails.

Automate Compliance. Enforce security policies and automate audit-ready evidence.
