OT Secure Remote Access for Automotive Manufacturing
Dispel Zero Trust Engine mitigates cyber risk and ensures OT compliance, providing secure vendor access for suppliers and engineers.
92 percent of attacks on the automotive industry were executed remotely.
As automotive manufacturers embrace digital transformation and IT/OT convergence, highly interconnected OT networks integrating robotics, PLCs, and supply chain systems expand the attack surface.
Legacy systems, flat networks, and third-party remote access creates security blind spots, exposing production lines to ransomware, supply chain attacks, and data breaches—demanding robust OT cybersecurity solutions to ensure resilience.
Challenges & Solutions
There are many challenges automotive companies face today. Secure Remote Access shouldn't be one of them.
01
the challenge
Expanding Attack Surface and Downtime
Auto manufacturers face expanding security gaps as interconnected IT/OT environments and complex supplier ecosystems increase risk. Legacy systems and flat networks enable ransomware to spread, halting production and causing costly supply chain disruptions.
the solution
Reduce Cyber Risk for Automotive OT
Dispel Engine minimizes attack surfaces with Moving Target Defense, encryption, micro-segmentation, and MFA—blocking threats, reducing risk, and ensuring compliance while integrating seamlessly with endpoint protection, SIEM, and your cybersecurity ecosystem.
02
the challenge
Securing Suppliers and Third-Party Access
Automotive plants must control access to PLCs and SCADA systems, to prevent unauthorized interventions. Managing complex supplier ecosystems requires controlling multiple access points, as vendor-installed and IT solutions often bypass security protocols, creating vulnerabilities.
the solution
Granular Access Control for Auto Makers
Easily manage and revoke privileges by user, device, port, protocol, or time to ensure authorized, auditable access. Just in time access and session isolation prevent persistent backdoor entry, enforcing rule-based operator and vendor access.
03
the challenge
Meeting Automotive OT Cybersecurity Compliance
Automotive organizations need to comply with ISO/SAE 21434, NIST CSF, TISAX, IEC 62443, NIST 800-82 and others to secure OT environments, protect intellectual property, and safeguard production data, ensuring regulatory adherence and resilience against evolving cyber threats.
the solution
Turnkey Audit and Compliance
Dispel Engine’s compliance-driven architecture streamlines automotive security frameworks, providing simplified audit logging, reporting and screen recording, enhancing operational security while reducing compliance risk.
Daimler gained centralized control over factory operations, visibility into third-party access, and improved incident response times using Dispel.
Dispel simplifies access workflows, and closes the loop between service tickets and security monitoring for both IT and OT teams.
