shield_lock Industrial OT/IT Secure Remote Access

Secure remote access for the plant floor and beyond.

One misconfigured remote connection can stop a line. Fields & Foster Network sets up Devolutions RDM for industrial remote access Lake Charles teams need, with strict OT/IT separation, session recording, and fast PLC remote diagnostics.

Keep production moving.

Built for Gulf Coast operations

Secure access for refineries, manufacturing plants, and maintenance teams that cannot afford guesswork.

OT/IT segmentation

RDM sits at the bridge, never inside the wrong network.

This setup keeps IT users out of the control layer until policy says yes. It also gives plant teams a clean path for refinery OT IT security reviews and PLC remote diagnostics.

dns

IT network

Administrators start here. Policies, MFA, and approvals stay on the business side.

shield

DMZ jump host

RDM routes access through a hardened checkpoint and logs the full path.

lan

OT segment

PLCs, HMIs, DCS nodes, and SCADA systems stay isolated from direct user reach.

memory

Industrial endpoints

Engineers connect only to approved assets, with auditable records for each action.

Why this layout works

A single jump point limits exposure. Session recording and access rules give your OT lead a clear answer during audits.

Short path. Tight control.

IEC 62443-aligned segregation
Policies are set around zones, conduits, and approvals.

Centralised privileged access
Shared accounts get replaced with named, controlled access.

Forensic session logs
Every command path is available for review after an incident.

RDM in industrial environments

Use one platform across plants, vendors, and maintenance crews.

Tap through each use case. On mobile, the same content stacks cleanly.

Refinery access with expiring credentials

Vendor remote access lands on a controlled jump host. Credentials expire on schedule, and the session record stays with your IT team.

No shared logins. No loose ends.

Access window 2 hours
Approvals, access start, recording, closeout.

Manufacturing admin access control

Maintenance engineers can reach HMIs and production systems without passing around one plant-wide password. Each account is tied to a person and a task.

Simple to audit. Simple to revoke.

Named sessions
Each login points to one person.
lock_clock
Time-limited rights
Access closes when the job ends.

SCADA monitoring from the field

Pipeline crews can inspect SCADA data on approved devices without opening the control network to everything else. Alerts reach the right people faster.

Quick checks. Clean records.

terminal
Remote command review
Command history stays visible for operations and IT.

Privileged access management

Every change to an industrial control system needs a name on it.

RDM keeps contractors, integrators, and plant staff inside approved workflows. Approval gates stop random admin access from reaching PLCs, DCS nodes, or SCADA workstations.

Control first. Speed second.

Change restraint
Shared accounts and open admin rights stay out.

That keeps PLC remote diagnostics traceable when a controller needs attention.

Emergency access spotlight

An alarm goes off. The right engineer gets in fast.

After-hours diagnostics should take seconds to start, not a drive across town. With MFA, approved routing, and a saved access path, your team can reach the problem without exposing the plant floor.

Minutes saved. Risk trimmed.

Home access to PLC review
Drive to plant 45 minutes
