Get first-hand insights from our network security experts on the advantages of direct-routed Zero Trust Network Access built for complex hybrid IT environments.
Direct-Routed ZTNA for OT
Resilience and Compliance Without Cloud Reliance
Mission‑critical operational technology demands more than cloud‑dependent access models. This two‑part webinar series explores how direct‑routed Zero Trust Network Access delivers resilience, sovereignty, and compliance, without compromising uptime or operational control.
Part I: Tuesday, April 28 | 12:00 ET
Mission‑Critical OT Can’t Depend on the Cloud
Why Direct‑Routed ZTNA Ensures Resilient, Always‑On Access
Cloud‑dependent ZTNA introduces external dependencies that OT environments cannot afford.
AppGate’s direct‑routed architecture keeps access fully inside your infrastructure—eliminating cloud brokers from the data path while maintaining secure access during disruption.
In Part I of our Direct-Routed ZTNA for OT webinar series, we focus on resilience, survivability, and operational continuity when networks—or cloud services—fail.
What You’ll Learn
-
How direct routing reduces single points of failure and improves DDoS survivability
-
Why eliminating cloud routing delivers lower, predictable latency for OT
-
How ZTNA can operate in air‑gapped and disconnected environments
-
Enforcing least‑privilege access at the OT protocol level (Modbus, DNP3, IEC‑61850)
-
Keeping authentication, policy enforcement, and logs fully in‑house
PART II: Wednesday, May 27 | 12:00 ET
Compliance Without Compromise
Securing OT Access for DoD and Highly Regulated Environments
For regulated organizations, Zero Trust must align with compliance mandates and operational realities. Cloud‑first models often complicate both.
In Part II of our Direct-Routed ZTNA for OT webinar series, our experts will discuss how direct‑routed ZTNA supports DoD‑aligned Zero Trust while preserving data sovereignty, auditability, and architectural control across regulated OT environments.
What You’ll Learn
-
How direct‑routed ZTNA aligns with federal Zero Trust principles
-
Maintaining data sovereignty over identity, policy, and audit logs
-
Designing access controls that reflect OT—not IT—operational realities
-
Why operational resilience is a compliance requirement, not a bonus
-
Scaling internal and third‑party access without expanding risk
