Xona

Xona Systems provides secure remote access built specifically for operational technology and industrial control systems, replacing traditional VPNs and jump servers with identity-based, time-bound access delivered through the browser with no endpoint software to install or maintain. Sessions to HMIs, PLCs, SCADA, and DCS systems are fully recorded for audit and forensic purposes, and the platform is engineered for the performance characteristics ICS environments require rather than adapted from general-purpose IT remote access tools.

Founded in 2019, the company has been recognized by KuppingerCole as an Overall Leader in remote access solutions and counts critical infrastructure operators including GE Vernova, RWE, and Baker Hughes among its customers, spanning energy, oil and gas, manufacturing, utilities, aviation, and healthcare. Zero endpoint installs and clientless browser sessions reduce both the maintenance burden and the attack surface that agent-based remote access tools introduce into sensitive OT networks.

Purpose-built OT remote access addressing the well-documented risks of using IT VPNs and jump servers for industrial control system access is a genuine, focused improvement, and independent analyst recognition alongside named critical infrastructure customers provide credible validation beyond vendor claims.
