Mitsubishi Electric and Dispel Launch Zero Trust Remote Access Solution

Zero trust access solution establishes highly secure, remote, and distributed networks

Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Inc. has closely collaborated with Dispel, a software provider for secure, remote connectivity in OT environments, to provide customers with solutions to grant on-site zero trust network access from remote locations securely. Facilities can connect to the remote region through Dispel-enabled Mitsubishi Electric iQ-R Series WinCPU R102WCPU-W or the RD55UP12-V C Intelligent Function Module and are compliant with NIST/IEC 62443 standards.

Dispel’s unified platform gives control and visibility over industrial systems and user access through a centralized dashboard designed against cybersecurity controls, including NIST 800-53, NERC CIP, and IEC 6244. Dispel protects against cyber threats by utilizing dynamic Moving Target Defense infrastructure to continuously reconfigure and encrypt data pathways to reduce the risk of unauthorized access. With over 20 million hours of safe operation, Dispel’s Zero Trust Remote Access platform goes beyond traditional solutions to provide the comprehensive suite of features needed in high-value operational technology settings, such as password vaulting, privileged access management, session recording, vendor self-management, just-in-time access, and endpoint isolation. The solution can be used in any industry requiring secure, remote access but is seen most commonly in food and beverage, packaging, automotive, medical/life science, electronics, logistics/e-commerce, and water and wastewater industries.

The announcement highlights Mitsubishi Electric Automation’s continued advancement into industrial cybersecurity.
