Overview

Safous Industrial Secure Remote Access (SRA) is an advanced Zero Trust security solution that is purpose-built for industrial and critical infrastructure organizations. By aligning with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, Safous enables Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover across operational technology (OT) environments. It seamlessly integrates with ICS/SCADA systems, PLCs, and other industrial assets to minimize risk and maintain reliable operations.

Safous’s ability to operate in air-gapped OT environments is a key differentiator, ensuring that even isolated facilities benefit from Zero Trust principles. This is particularly critical for manufacturing plants and other industrial sites where network segmentation and strict separation from the Internet are essential. Safous also incorporates Remote Privileged Access Management (RPAM) and Identity and Access Management (IAM) to deliver secure remote maintenance and support without exposing sensitive systems to external threats.

Safous’s Zero Trust Access feature reduces the attack surface by concealing OT endpoints, enforcing granular role-based policies, and supporting agentless deployment for legacy or specialized devices. This approach is crucial in industrial settings, where downtime and costly retrofits can derail productivity. Multi-factor authentication and single sign-on ensure robust user verification and prevent unauthorized access to critical systems.

As 2024 and 2025 bring increasingly sophisticated supply chain attacks and generative AI-driven threats, Safous helps industrial organizations proactively defend their OT networks. By prioritizing least-privilege access and safeguarding APIs for machine-to-machine communications, Safous keeps essential processes secure and resilient.

Safous enables reliable, efficient, and secure operations in the manufacturing, energy, and utilities sectors. It protects vital infrastructure, reduces cyber risks, and empowers industrial stakeholders to adopt a modern, Zero Trust security posture.

Key Capabilities / Features

* OT Attack Surface Assessments
Safous conducts clear, actionable diagnostics for SCADA/ICS environments by analyzing vulnerabilities from an external, internet-facing perspective. This enables industrial operations to prioritize remediation and minimize exposure.


* Zero Trust Protection
A robust Zero Trust model conceals OT endpoints from external visibility and applies least-privilege principles. This approach prevents lateral movement within industrial networks and reduces the overall threat landscape.


* Unified Access Platform
Safous brings together distributed OT systems, on-premises resources, and remote facilities under a single management console. Granular access controls adapt to user roles, device health, and context, enabling secure, efficient operations.


* Adaptive Policies for Legacy and Air-Gapped Systems
Designed for environments with aging protocols or strict isolation requirements, Safous operates agentlessly on endpoints. For air-gapped plants, it runs entirely offline, preserving isolation without needing any internet connection. Even in remote maintenance scenarios, Safous ensures tight oversight via its add-on deployment model.


* Remote Privileged Access Management (RPAM)
Safous integrates RPAM to enable secure remote servicing of industrial devices. Real-time session monitoring and granular controls safeguard against unauthorized changes or misuse, supporting operational continuity and compliance.


* Advanced Threat Protection
Safous mitigates threats such as DDoS and OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities to protect ICS interfaces. Remote browser isolation quarantines user activities, reducing the risk of malware infection and data loss.


* Frictionless Operation & Post-Access Control
Streamlined MFA and SSO deliver robust security without disrupting workflows. Comprehensive session auditing and anomaly detection quickly contain breaches, protecting sensitive ICS data while ensuring stable production.


How we are different

* Agentless Zero Trust for Legacy, Air-Gapped OT Systems
Safous provides a unified Zero Trust solution for industrial OT environments, including SCADA/ICS and other legacy systems. Its agentless architecture eliminates the need to install or update software on critical equipment, ensuring smooth deployment without disrupting operations. Even in fully air-gapped or isolated networks, Safous can be deployed as an add-on to protect vital infrastructure while preserving network segmentation.


* Advanced Remote Privileged Access Management (RPAM)
A defining feature of Safous is its integrated RPAM, allowing secure remote maintenance and support of industrial devices. By enforcing granular session controls and dynamic access policies, Safous limits third-party or insider risk while providing real-time visibility into privileged sessions. This approach helps prevent unauthorized changes in critical processes, supporting robust auditing and compliance mandates across manufacturing, energy, and other industrial sectors.


* Seamless Global Deployment and Operational Resilience
Safous’s flexible footprint ensures consistent performance for industrial sites in geographically dispersed regions, including locations with limited internet connectivity. By concealing endpoints from external exposure and securely bridging on-premises and remote environments, Safous keeps OT operations resilient against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. With its comprehensive Zero Trust framework, Safous effectively reduces the attack surface while ensuring safe, uninterrupted operations for mission-critical industrial systems.
