New Fortinet OT Security Partnerships Help Secure Mobile and Fixed Cyber-Physical Systems

Fortinet announces alliances with Parsec and Westermo to deliver rugged, rapidly deployable secure connectivity for mission-critical OT/CPS operations: Parsec’s Emergency Connectivity Kits (Bloodhound for mobility; Pitbull for resilience with dual 5G, Wi‑Fi, optional Starlink, and FortiGate Rugged) and integration of Westermo WeOS switches/routers with the Fortinet Security Fabric via IPsec, centralized policy, MFA (FortiAuthenticator), and PAM (FortiPAM). Targeted at disaster response, mobile command, utilities, and defense, these solutions aim to ensure reliable, encrypted communications and unified management when fixed infrastructure is unavailable or compromised.
