BlastShield is BlastWave’s Zero Trust network access solution for OT environments. It uses a software-defined perimeter approach to help organizations reduce risk from stolen credentials, simplify access control, cloak critical systems, secure remote access, and segment OT networks.

How does BlastShield help stop OT attacks before they start?

BlastShield helps stop OT attacks before they start by requiring authentication and authorization before users or devices can access protected systems. It combines network cloaking, phishing-resistant access, secure remote connectivity, and software-defined segmentation to reduce exposure and limit lateral movement.

What is the BlastShield Security Gateway?

The BlastShield Security Gateway is a hardware-independent software package that can be installed in a VM, container, or pre-installed appliance. It delivers network cloaking, terminates secure remote access connections, and uses software-defined segmentation to secure OT networks.

What is the BlastShield Client?

The BlastShield Client is a Zero Trust client for secure OT connectivity. It supports Windows, Mac, and Linux, allowing authorized users to connect securely to approved OT systems without disrupting existing operations.

What is the BlastShield Authenticator?

The BlastShield Authenticator provides passwordless authentication using a QR code challenge-response, localized biometric authentication, and the device keystore. It is designed to prevent credential theft, phishing, and AI-powered attacks while keeping a human in the loop.

BlastAccess is BlastWave’s secure remote desktop connectivity solution. It provides high-performance remote access with session recording, while removing open ports and reducing risks from browser hijacking, password theft, PAM weaknesses, and web-based RDP exposure.

What does the BlastShield Agent do?

The BlastShield Agent helps secure servers by requiring a verified BlastShield client before a connection can be made. It supports Windows, Mac, and Linux and helps turn protected servers into Zero Trust-controlled assets.

What does the BlastShield Orchestrator do?

The BlastShield Orchestrator manages real-time policy enforcement across the network. It can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud and helps ensure users and devices connect only to the systems they are authorized to access.

How does BlastShield support network cloaking?

BlastShield supports network cloaking by requiring users and devices to authenticate and authorize before access is granted. This helps make protected systems non-discoverable to unauthorized users and reduces the value of reconnaissance.

How does BlastShield support OT network segmentation?

BlastShield supports OT network segmentation through software-defined access controls that divide the network into isolated segments. This limits lateral movement and helps contain the impact of a breach.

Security That Protects Uptime. Not Interrupts It

For Plant & Operations Managers

Security That Protects Uptime. Not Interrupts It.

For critical infrastructure, protection is about uninterrupted delivery and preventing catastrophic safety incidents. BlastWave secures your OT network as a software overlay, with no production downtime, no new hardware, and no more truck rolls, so the line keeps running.

What keeps you up at night

Downtime, cost, and safety, not security jargon.

An OT incident isn't an IT ticket. It's stopped production, a safety event, and a call you don't want to make.

Unplanned downtime

A single malware outbreak or bad actor can freeze operations. For critical infrastructure the cost is measured in lost output and safety, not tickets.

The cost of truck rolls

Sending a technician to a remote site for a simple network change or IP conflict is slow and expensive, and it adds up fast across sites.

Security that gets in the way

If protection slows operators or blocks vendors, people work around it, which is exactly how breaches and mistakes happen.

The Operational Payback

Protection that pays for itself in continuity

BlastWave engineers out human error and eliminates the biggest attack paths, while taking real cost off your operating budget.

Operational continuity first

Deploys with no production downtime and protects unpatchable assets, so security drives uptime instead of threatening it.

Drastic cost reduction

Eliminate truck rolls for routine management and IP conflict resolution. Get an 80/20 solution that saves on deployment and maintenance.

Safe, simple remote access

Passwordless access that's as easy as unlocking a phone lets vendors and staff do their work without opening the whole network.

Compliance without outages

Meet and exceed regulatory requirements for critical asset protection, built into the network, without scheduled downtime.

Case study · Manufacturing

BlastWave's Zero Trust protection saved a manufacturing plant from catastrophic downtime, keeping production running while blocking lateral movement and stranding attackers outside the network.

Proven where it counts. Trusted across 500M+ device hours of preventing cyberattacks, with one customer replacing a legacy VPN with Zero Trust access in about 10 minutes.

Plant Manager FAQ

Straight answers for operations

Will adding OT security cause production downtime?

No. BlastShield deploys as a software overlay on top of your existing network with no production downtime and no new hardware, so operations keep running while protection is added. Segmentation and cloaking go in place in hours, not during a scheduled outage.

How does BlastWave reduce operating costs?

It eliminates costly truck rolls to remote sites for routine network management and IP conflict resolution, replaces manual firewall work with software-defined policy, and needs no new hardware, an 80/20 solution that saves time and money on deployment and maintenance.

Does tighter security slow down my operators and vendors?

No. Access is passwordless and as simple as unlocking a phone, and the client works the way teams already do. Security is engineered into the network so it supports operational continuity instead of interrupting workflow.

How does this protect safety and uptime?

By cloaking assets, eliminating credential theft, and stopping lateral movement, BlastShield prevents the incidents that cause unplanned downtime and safety events, protecting uninterrupted delivery.
