OT environments have constraints that are radically different from IT: 15–25 year equipment lifecycles, inability to patch many devices, absolute priority on availability, teams not scaled for intensive security workloads, and industrial protocols that IT solutions do not understand. Seclab designs its technologies for these realities.

Technologies born in the most demanding environments

Since 2011, Seclab has been developing its solutions in the most constrained industrial sectors—civil nuclear, rail transport, and space—where even the slightest interruption is unacceptable and certifications are extremely strict. This heritage is reflected in every product of the Xcore platform.

Each product addresses a specific OT constraint

OT Constraint Seclab Response
Inability to patch / Legacy systems
Xchange protects without agents, without architecture modifications, and requires minimal updates (average 1/year vs. 1–10/month for an OT firewall)
Absolute process availability
Xplore discovers in a non-intrusive mode, with zero operational impact
Locked host systems (Windows XP, proprietary OS)
Xport operates Plug & Play, no installation required on the host
OT teams not sized for cybersecurity
 5 Xplore mapping views tailored to each role (CISO, automation engineer, plant manager), with intelligent alert routing
Specific industrial protocols
Native understanding of Modbus, S7, BACnet, DNP3, Triconex, etc.
Key takeaway — Seclab has been designing its solutions for OT since 2011, in the most demanding sectors (nuclear, railway, space). Zero agent, zero architecture modification, zero dependency on updates: security does not degrade over time.
