PWC Best Technology of the year
One Appliance.
Stop Firefighting. Start Piloting your Industrial Network.
Trout Access Gate combines visibility, access, monitoring, and compliance in one device — so your team spends less time stitching tools and firefighting, and more time piloting your environment and showing IT’s value.

Q1-2025 Release Announcement
OT Security Needs Unity
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 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.
