OT Security and Incident Response for Industrial Environments

With increasing digitalisation and connectivity, the demands on the secure and stable operation of industrial systems continue to grow. Production environments are becoming more complex, communication networks denser, and attack surfaces larger. At the same time, companies are under pressure to manage their OT environments efficiently and respond quickly to security incidents.

This is exactly where the collaboration between Rhebo and ondeso comes in. Together, we combine two essential components of modern OT security: network-based intrusion detection and secure client management at the endpoint level. The result is a holistic approach where intrusion detection and endpoint management work hand in hand to ensure greater security and stability in OT.

Podcast “OT Security Made Simple“

In Rhebo’s podcast, Peter Lukesch, CEO of ondeso, and Klaus Mochalski, Founder of Rhebo, explain why a holistic OT security approach is essential and which measures companies can take to detect attacks early and protect their endpoints.

Continuous OT Security from Network to Endpoint

The combination of Rhebo Industrial Protector and ondeso SR enables you to detect attacks and error states in real time and take appropriate action immediately.

Your benefits at a glance:

Protection against production downtime through passive, non-intrusive attack detection
Faster response to security-relevant events through predefined response procedures
Early detection of technical error states and misconfigurations
Central execution of measures directly on the affected OT endpoints
Software-based solution with simple integration and minimal interference with existing systems
Maximum data sovereignty thanks to technology “Made in Germany“

Two Systems, One Goal: Security and Stability in OT

Rhebo and ondeso each offer independent, specialised solutions that complement each other perfectly. While Rhebo ensures transparency and intrusion detection within the network, ondeso enables secure and controlled management of the affected devices.

Intrusion Detection with Rhebo Industrial Protector

Rhebo Industrial Protector continuously monitors all network traffic within the OT – fully and passively. The system detects unusual communication patterns, technical error states, or potential cyberattacks without interfering with ongoing processes.

All detected events are reported and documented in real time, allowing security teams to analyse root causes and make informed decisions to remediate incidents or attacks effectively.

Implementation with ondeso SR

With ondeso SR, you maintain control over all industrial PCs and OT endpoints. The platform allows you to centrally manage configurations, patches, and software updates, create backups, and restore systems in the event of an incident.

Based on insights from Rhebo, you can take immediate operational action – for example, by adjusting security policies, deploying updates, or isolating affected systems. Standardised processes help you reduce workload, increase response speed, and maintain operational continuity.

„The collaboration between Rhebo and ondeso represents a practical combination of transparency and operational capability. Companies can detect, assess, and respond to security incidents in OT more efficiently than ever before.“

Two Partners, One Shared Mission

Nicolai Sukup, Key Account and Partner Management at Rhebo, sums it up: “OT security should never become an obstacle to productivity or process stability. Together with ondeso, we demonstrate how intrusion detection and client management form an effective foundation for industrial security.”

Peter Lukesch, CEO of ondeso, also sees clear added value: “The collaboration between Rhebo and ondeso represents a practical combination of transparency and operational capability. Companies can detect, assess, and respond to security incidents in OT more efficiently than ever before.”
