FREMONT, CA / ACCESS Newswire / December 2, 2025 / To better support the security of critical markets, Exclusive Networks is launching a new Operational Technology Center of Excellence (OT CoE). Designed specifically for markets where cybersecurity and Zero Trust environments are a top priority, the OT CoE helps solution providers identify and navigate the challenges of converging IT and operational technology systems while generating new revenue streams for their businesses. OT refers to the physical technologies that secure and monitor devices, infrastructure and operational processes in industrial and enterprise IT environments. Solution providers and industry-leading vendors can leverage this unique program as a centralized resource point, allowing them to collaborate and address the urgent need for resilience at the intersection between IT and OT environments. The Operational Technology Center of Excellence program serves as a hub for innovation, education, and growth in this category.
Exclusive Networks is a worldwide cybersecurity aggregator, which means it can help channel partners bridge the gaps between IT and OT architectures in a way that no one else can. The technology orchestrator’s ecosystem of top-notch Cyber-Physical Systems Protection Platforms (CPSPPs) and services helps solution providers make sure that their end customers’ CPS transformation is safe. This program gives companies in important industrial settings the ability to be resilient, follow regulations, and come up with new ideas on a large scale spanning both IT and OT.
The Operational Technology Center of Excellence initiative at Exclusive Networks includes a unique group of cybersecurity suppliers.
Integration: Unifies IT and OT security technologies in an integrated framework, tapping a carefully curated ecosystem of vendors
Security: Reduces risk and improves resilience with proven, multi-vendor solutions
Acceleration: Promotes fast adoption through technical enablement, solution validation and training
As operational technology relies more and more on cloud-based automation, AI-driven apps, and the Internet of Things (IoT), these companies need to deal with different infrastructures without making the solutions more complicated. Exclusive Networks’ OT Center of Excellence brings together several top providers under one program, making it easier for partners and vendors to meet security needs in both domains. By bringing together IT, OT, and CPS protections, suppliers can set up end-to-end protection across these important areas. This makes things easier for both solution providers and their end-users while still getting better results.
“Protecting CPS environments is usually a difficult task, but it doesn’t have to be with the appropriate partner. Jason Beal, president of Exclusive Networks in North America, says, “To get more people to adopt, we need to make things less complicated.” “Solution providers that work with Exclusive Networks on CPS transformation get more than just technology; they also get access to a collaborative ecosystem that is built for the next generation of enterprise and industrial security.”
Protecting What’s Next: Connecting IT, OT, and CPS to Keep Critical Infrastructure Safe
Exclusive Networks helps businesses bring their industrial operations up to date without putting security at risk. The organization makes it possible to see and safeguard critical infrastructure from start to finish by bringing together protections for IT, OT, and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). This is done with a cybersecurity-first mentality, strong technical knowledge, and real-world experience.
“We want to give you full situational awareness, from corporate IT systems to operational technology environments.” Heather Allen, Senior Director of Vendor Management and Marketing at Exclusive Networks, North America, states, “Partners can’t just react to threats anymore; they have to proactively secure every connected asset and process.” “Our OT CoE gives solution providers the tools and information they need to do well in this special area.”
