OT Cyber Direct announced the launch of its digital marketplace, designed to provide small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with tested and cost effective Operational Technology (OT) security applications. The new platform, OTCyberDirect.com, aims to help businesses reduce risk to their industrial networks by offering a curated selection of cost effective cybersecurity solutions that are easy to procure, install, and manage.
OTSecurityDirect has partnered with security vendors to offer a variety of OT security products, spanning multiple disciplines, including Fortinet for Perimeter Monitoring, OT Dashboards and Industrial Firewalls; Blastwave for OT Network Segmentation and Remote Access; IOT365 for AI-powered OT Network Security Monitoring; and Garland for data diodes and network taps.
Each product available on the marketplace has been rigorously tested in OT Cyber Direct’s labs to ensure ease of deployment and usability. Customers will have access to installation videos, FAQs, and transparent pricing, enabling them to make informed purchasing decisions without requiring extensive internal testing or third-party consultation.
“Our goal is to provide OT network professionals and their system integration partners with products that fit a DIY model, rather than relying on large consulting firms,” said Jim Crowley, co-founder of OT Cyber Direct. “By offering tested solutions in a streamlined marketplace, we’re empowering SMBs to take control of their OT security challenges.”
OT Cyber Direct was founded by a team of seasoned experts in the OT security space, including Jim Crowley (Industrial Defender, Security Matters, Lockheed Martin), Phil Dunbar (Industrial Defender, GE, Siemens), and Ian Crowley, who has led marketing initiatives for CyberX (acquired by Microsoft), Nozomi, Industrial Defender, and Network Perception (acquired by Dragos). Together, they bring decades of experience to revolutionize how SMBs secure their industrial environments.
