Paris, 27 juin 2024 – WALLIX (Euronext ALLIX), European publisher of cybersecurity software and recognized leader in identity management, provides an identified, simple and secure access service, to operate without risk in digital and industrial environments. WALLIX continues, through its OT.Security brand, to offer innovative and adapted services to manufacturers, maintainers, operators and industrial integrators working on critical infrastructures.
Operational technology (OT) environments are crucial for the operation of essential systems such as those in manufacturing, transportation, energy or critical infrastructure. However, these systems are increasingly interconnected with computer networks, thus increasing their vulnerability to cyberattacks. These directly affect the continuity and profitability of investments in highly regulated and technically complex sectors. It is then necessary to adopt robust cybersecurity measures to prevent intrusions, guarantee business continuity and protect sensitive data. Europe is also preparing to adopt the NIS2 Directive in October 2024, in order to strengthen the resilience of its important and essential services, IT/OT interconnection being a critical aspect.
It is in this approach to strengthening protection capabilities and operational efficiency that Cisco and WALLIX have united their industrial cybersecurity expertise.
An alliance offering unrivaled added value in terms of visibility and operational security (OT)
This partnership is based on mutual integration of OT.Security PAM4OT and CISCO Cyber Vision solutions, to offer a centralized vision of all actions carried out by operators and integrators connecting remotely in a secure and transparent manner on production sites.
The discovery of industrial equipment is carried out without the risk of stopping production and the granular management of access rights makes it possible to apply different security policies according to predefined criteria (according to Just-In-Time access management, a list of authorized protocols…).
This traceability of actions and all monitoring provide the means for consistent identity and access governance to ensure compliance (NIS2, IEC 62443, ISO 27001, etc.).

A technical alliance between two major players in the industrial cybersecurity market
WALLIX’s association with Cisco strengthens the company’s recognized expertise in the security of industrial IT systems. This partnership also provides Cisco’s global customer base with access to an advanced digital identity and access management solution. This includes automating OT asset discovery, securing identities and access, including for remote access. WALLIX thus continues to consolidate its OT security offering in its historic markets while opening up to new perspectives by relying on Cisco’s leadership.
In 2023, more than 7,000 remote accesses from OT environment providers and maintainers have been secured by WALLIX. The industrial cybersecurity market is estimated at $15.5 billion and is expected to register a global growth of 15.8% by 2027[1].
“The synergy between the WALLIX and Cisco OT offerings is ideal for customers who want to control their industrial assets. WALLIX technologies ensure full traceability of user actions in a network, crucial for compliance. With the ability to discover OT assets and assess threats provided by Cisco Cyber Vision, our technology integration ensures seamless, high-performance production line protection and secure remote access. By bringing together an ecosystem around Schneider Electric, Cisco, Nozomi, Axians and WALLIX, we want to offer the best to companies whose digital transformation requires resilient digital technology. » explain Jean-Noël de Galzain, CEO de WALLIX.
