Analysis based on 10 articles · First reported Mar 03, 2026 · Last updated Mar 03, 2026
The report highlights significant cybersecurity risks in industrial remote access, particularly concerning vendor oversight. This will likely drive increased demand for robust, unified OT remote access platforms, benefiting companies like Secomea that offer such solutions. The findings suggest a market shift towards identity-centric security models and consolidation of access tools.
A new global industry report, 'The State of Industrial Remote Access 2026', commissioned by Secomea, reveals that industrial organizations worldwide are overestimating their remote access security. Based on a survey of 400 senior leaders in manufacturing and critical infrastructure, the report identifies significant gaps in vendor oversight, credential hygiene, and auditability, leading to a 'confidence-to-evidence gap' in industrial cybersecurity. Key findings indicate that vendor access is a primary risk multiplier, with only 43% of organizations having full audit trails of vendor sessions. The report also highlights the measurable positive impact of Zero Trust adoption and the benefits of shared IT/OT governance models. It notes that tool fragmentation erodes control, and there is an accelerating market shift towards identity-centric, unified OT remote access platforms. The report concludes that the industry is undergoing a structural shift towards standardized, secure, policy-driven remote operations.
