SSH Communications Security, a defensive cybersecurity company for humans, systems, and networks, announced on Tuesday that its PrivX OT solution is now available on the Nokia Industrial Edge (MXIE) on-premises compute platform. Nokia ECE MXIE is a robust, future-ready edge solution designed to accelerate the digital transformation of industrial operational technology (OT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) environments.
Through the Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) Application Catalog, MXIE supports a diverse range of industrial applications, with SSH’s PrivX OT solution now enhancing its OT security offerings.
PrivX OT manages Secure Remote Access (SRA) to hundreds of IT/OT systems from a single digital gatekeeper using Zero Trust, just-in-time (JIT), and role-based access controls- with integrated job approvals and ticketing workflows. Secure, audit, record and monitor sessions, manage credentials, and fulfill compliance requirements.
“As OT organizations are digitalizing their operations, they also face a growing number of risks, expanding attack surface and new regulatory demands. We are proud to co-operate together with a global leader like Nokia to secure and modernize industrial environments and critical infrastructures,” states Rami Raulas, CEO of SSH Communications Security.
With Just-in-Time access, protocol-agnostic connections and secure file transfers, PrivX OT delivers visibility and control for cyber-physical systems, optimizing safety, availability, and security. Purpose-built for scalability and flexible deployment across distributed infrastructures, IT/OT teams gain streamlined governance, improved productivity and operational efficiency.
Centralized control and seamless integrations provide local, remote, and third-party access to industrial, commercial, and critical infrastructure environments for real-time monitoring and maintenance. It also helps to keep costs, complexity and disruption low, while ensuring safety, compliance and high visibility.
PrivX OT also implements extensive monitoring and auditing capabilities in environments. With detailed audit trails, real-time session monitoring, and session recording, users can gain full visibility into user activity and access patterns. These capabilities help ensure accountability and support compliance with key industry standards such as NIST CSF 2.0 and IEC 62443, making it easier to meet regulatory requirements and maintain a strong security posture across IT and OT environments.
Last May, SSH and Cinia signed a reseller agreement that will enable both parties to deliver high-security systems and services to a wider range of customers. The agreement covers all SSH solutions, including access management to critical IT and OT resources, high-performance quantum-safe remote data transmissions, password and SSH key management, and encrypted messages, video calls, and emails.
