By GlobalDataThe company said that SecureOT is compatible with widely adopted standards including NIST CSF, NIS2, and IEC 62443, and employs a vendor-neutral framework for securing industrial control systems.
Rockwell Automation lifecycle services senior vice president Matthew Fordenwalt said: “Cyber threats to industrial operations are evolving faster than ever, and legacy defenses simply can’t keep up.
“SecureOT is more than a brand – it’s a strategic shift in how industrial organizations approach cybersecurity. We’re combining deep industrial expertise with OT-specific technology and services that help customers stay ahead of threats and keep operations running safely.”
In October 2025, Rockwell Automation introduced FactoryTalk Design Workbench software. This free tool supports Micro800 controllers and consolidates programming, configuration, and troubleshooting functions into a single workspace.
The company said that FactoryTalk Design Workbench is targeted at machine builders and manufacturers working with compact or standalone automation systems. The tool enables them to manage multiple devices through an integrated development environment, said the company.
Rockwell Automation product manager Wan Shan Loo said: “FactoryTalk Design Workbench software is our next-generation design environment for micro control systems, delivering a productive, more reliable and familiar experience for users of Rockwell Automation products.
“Customers have asked for something intuitive and easy to use, and FactoryTalk Design Workbench software delivers. With support for Micro800 controllers and a scalable architecture, it simplifies workflows and lays the foundation for broader device integration in the future.”
