Trout Software and NEVERHACK renew their partnership for sovereign Zero Trust in industrial OT

Paris, France · 10 June 2026

Trout Software and NEVERHACK announced at Cyber Onboard the renewal of their partnership to protect industrial IT, OT and IoT environments and critical infrastructure with sovereign, agent-free Zero Trust security.

The partnership combines Trout's Zero Trust Overlay, the technology behind Access Gate, with NEVERHACK's cybersecurity expertise and delivery capacity, to help industrial operators gain visibility and control over their networks without operational disruption and without touching legacy OT systems.

Why it matters

In industrial IT, OT and IoT environments, security can no longer rely on implicit trust.

Florian Doumenc, Trout Software

Critical-infrastructure operators face growing exposure on the network and cybersecurity layer, precisely where sovereignty and control matter most. The Trout and NEVERHACK partnership pairs a sovereign, on-premise Zero Trust technology with the expertise needed to deploy it across sensitive industrial sites.

What the partnership delivers

  • Sovereign, on-premise security for critical infrastructure, with no dependency on a cloud or extra-European vendor.
  • Agent-free deployment that protects legacy OT systems without modification and without production downtime.
  • Network visibility and access control across IT, OT and IoT, deployed alongside the existing network.
