Bayshore Beacon

Beacon is the first dedicated policy-enforcing secure remote access solution for mission-critical OT environments.  Beacon is purpose-built for manufacturing, utilities, oil and gas, as compared to today’s security options which include enterprise VPN or software-defined networking tools built for non-industrial enterprise environments. Beacon is now available for subscription-based purchase online. Beacon is a cloud-hosted, software-defined network remote access product with support for encrypted micro-tunnels, two-factor authentication, Microsoft Active Directory users and groups, and specific endpoint access capabilities oriented around OT network security requirements. Beacon provides content-based in-session policy enforcement for certain defined rulesets, and the available list of policies will expand automatically with no user intervention required. Beacon is a competitive alternative to both generic enterprise VPN products and software-defined networking tools.  It offers native policy controls for OT protocols and supports single pane of glass administration via a customer’s private cloud instance of the management portal.
