OPSWAT and Emerson have announced a global strategic reseller agreement that will bring OPSWAT’s cybersecurity technologies to Emerson’s power and water industry customers.
As the first initiative under this enterprise-wide agreement, Emerson will integrate OPSWAT’s scalable and safe operational technology (OT) patch management capabilities into its Ovation™ Automation Platform.
The new OT patch management solution further builds on the collaboration to date by securing the Ovation Platform through OPSWAT’s MetaDefender Endpoint™ and My OPSWAT™ Central Management On-Premises, part of Emerson’s purpose-built power and water cybersecurity suite of solutions.
“Our customers need cybersecurity solutions designed specifically for operational technology—not adapted from IT,” said Robert Yeager, President of Emerson’s power and water solutions business. “They benefit from purpose-built OT cybersecurity solutions that protect critical, real-time industrial systems while supporting availability, performance, and safe operations. Collaborating with OPSWAT enhances our ability to help operators protect their Ovation Automation Platform with a modern, OT appropriate approach to patch management. It reflects our commitment to delivering proven, efficient, best-in-class protection for critical infrastructure.”
OPSWAT’s solution for the Ovation Automation Platform is designed specifically for industrial environments.
“As LLMs, automation, and digital transformation accelerate across power and water infrastructure, the attack surface expands just as quickly,” said Benny Czarny, Founder and CEO of OPSWAT. “In environments where safety and availability are mission critical, cybersecurity cannot rely on traditional IT assumptions but must be deterministic, scalable, and engineered specifically for OT realities. Partnering with Emerson allows us to embed that prevention-first philosophy directly into one of the world’s most trusted automation platforms. This is not simply about patching vulnerabilities. It is about fortifying the resilience and continuity of the essential systems that power modern society.”
