VPNs are useful for network connectivity, but remote OT work often needs something more precise: access to the right asset, for the right user, at the right time, with monitoring and evidence. Otector provides a controlled alternative to broad remote access paths.
Otector is not a generic VPN. It is a client-controlled access layer for OT sessions, approvals, monitoring and evidence.
A network route often reaches beyond the single system an engineer needs. Standing accounts, shared jump hosts and flat connectivity also make approval context and individual attribution difficult to maintain.
Users open approved RDP, VNC and HTTP(S) sessions from a browser. Otector brokers the interaction to the selected asset, avoiding a general user route into the site network.
When an approved engineering or maintenance application must run locally, Otector Tunnels can scope connectivity to the named destination and port under the same identity, approval and audit model.
The Site Agent initiates connectivity outward and brokers sessions locally. Remote users interact through the approved access path instead of joining the OT network.
Browser sessions and controlled tunnels share request history, user attribution, timestamps, decisions, alerts and audit records, helping teams review access consistently.
Browser sessions, controlled native-tool access, approvals, monitoring and evidence share one client-controlled model.
No. Otector is a controlled remote access platform for OT sessions, approvals, monitoring and evidence, not a generic network VPN.
Yes. Browser-based sessions and scoped native-tool access can reduce reliance on broad standing VPN routes for remote OT work.
An approved Otector Tunnel can provide a scoped connection for the native tool without creating a general route into the site network.
Otector is designed around an outbound-only Site Agent model, reducing the need for inbound remote access paths.
Yes. Access can be limited to a specific site, asset, connection profile, user, provider and time window.
