Keep C2 networks secure when links drop.
Ground forces cybersecurity for OT
Control who reaches every C2 node, radio and autonomous vehicle. Rules keep running on site, with no cloud.
Last updated:
One gate per C2 node. Four jobs.
Access Gate connects to your existing network. Operations keep running.
See every machine.
Find every radio, sensor, vehicle and command system on the tactical network.
Control who reaches what.
Crewed vehicles and UGVs each reach only what they need. One compromised UGV stays contained.
Reach any machine, securely.
Operators and allied units log in with MFA. Each session is scoped, time-limited and logged.
Prove every audit.
Every connection is logged on site. Export the evidence your auditors ask for.
The gate is the first service you run, not the last.
Secure your plants today. Control your digitalization tomorrow.
Access Gate puts compute on the wire, next to your assets. Once the gate is in, the same box hosts the services that pull OT in securely: remote access, protocol gateways, DNS and time, historian, update server. Accelerate your digitalization, in control.

“Legacy defenses assume a perimeter that no longer exists in contested domains. The Access Gate enforces identity-aware segmentation between crewed and unmanned systems, exactly what hybrid force architecture demands.”

Common questions about ground force network security.
cloud dependencies. Access Gate runs on its own at the forward edge: sovereign, inspectable and built for air-gapped networks.
The Access Gate enforces Zero Trust policies autonomously at each C2 node and vehicle. No reach-back to rear or cloud infrastructure is required. When tactical comms are jammed or degraded, all policies continue enforcing locally. When connectivity is restored, logs and state synchronize automatically.
The Access Gate creates identity-aware micro-segmentation between crewed vehicles and UGVs. Each platform gets independent network policies. Compromising one autonomous vehicle cannot grant lateral access to C2 networks or other manned platforms.
Yes. The Access Gate runs on site at forward operating bases and mobile C2 nodes, with no cloud and no reach-back. For vehicle mounting or harsh environments, talk to us about the form factor your program needs.
Yes. The Access Gate is fully on-premise with zero cloud dependency. All software is inspectable. All data and policies remain under national control. Suitable for NATO, allied coalition, and national sovereign programs in classified environments.
The Access Gate enforces granular access policies per nation, role, and classification level. Allied units can be granted controlled, time-limited, audited access to specific systems without exposing the broader tactical network.
