Webinar: Industrial Edge without the Attack Surface

Industrial Edge without the
Attack Surface

‍Modernize OT connectivity without making fragile industrial assets discoverable.

Thursday June 11 | 1pm ET · 12pm CT · 10am PT

Industrial teams are under pressure to modernize edge operations, connect OT data to cloud and enterprise systems, and support increasingly distributed environments. The challenge is that many OT devices were never designed for secure remote connectivity. They may rely on legacy protocols, specialized applications, analog interfaces, or site-specific configurations that make traditional access models difficult to standardize and risky to expose.

In this webinar, Portainer and Xiid will show how industrial teams can deploy and manage containerized workloads close to OT devices while keeping critical systems protected from inbound exposure. Attendees will learn how Portainer simplifies distributed edge workload management, and how Xiid's Terniion enables secure, outbound-only movement of telemetry and operational data from OT environments to approved destinations such as centralized databases, cloud services, peer OT systems, and enterprise applications.

The session will include a live demo showing how the right application stack can be deployed near an OT device, connected to the required local system, and securely accessed or managed without opening inbound ports or expanding the network attack surface.

Key Takeaways

• Deploy the right workload near the right OT device: See how containerized applications can be placed close to industrial systems to collect data, issue commands, or support site-specific workflows.
• Reduce remote-access exposure at the edge: Learn how outbound-only, non-addressable connectivity helps industrial teams support remote operations without opening inbound access to protected environments.
• Simplify management across distributed industrial sites: Understand how centralized container management can help automation teams and system integrators reduce site-by-site complexity.
• Support maintenance and modernization with controlled access. Explore how teams can support IT management, updates, and troubleshooting in common OT environment scenarios.
• Move OT data without opening the environment: Watch how organizations can offload operational and monitoring data to centralized locations and send data to OT devices from remote locations.

This Webinar is for You if

• You're an automation engineer, controls engineer, or OT lead responsible for industrial infrastructure across multiple plants, sites, or remote facilities
• You're a system integrator deploying and supporting OT systems on behalf of industrial customers
• Your environment includes Siemens, Honeywell, Schneider, Rockwell, or similar industrial controllers that weren't designed for safe remote connectivity
• You're under pressure to surface OT data for enterprise visibility without opening inbound network exposure to legacy devices
