Respect Your Elders.
Your machines have been making parts since before cybersecurity was a thing. Trout makes your legacy OT and specialized assets CMMC-compliant without laying a finger on them.
Your machines aren't the problem.
That CNC mill from '94? Still running.
The lathe older than half your team? Never missed a shift.
Your PLCs don't crash, don't need reboots, and definitely don't ask for software updates. These specialized assets are the backbone of your shop floor.
CMMC doesn't say you need to replace them. Respect your elders. They've earned it.
Protecting them is.
CMMC wants access control, audit logs, encrypted data. Totally reasonable.
Except your OT equipment was built before any of that existed.
Most security tools want to install an agent. Good luck with that on a machine running firmware from the Clinton administration.
They also want a maintenance window. Your production line would like a word.
Rip-and-replace isn't compliance. It's a shutdown disguised as a strategy.
Show your machines some respect.
Slap these on your mill, your server rack, your laptop. Wherever legacy equipment deserves a little love.
Protect the machine. Don't replace it.
The Trout Access Gate sits on your network. Not on your machines.
It wraps every specialized asset in CMMC-ready security. One appliance. No downtime. Your production line won't even notice.
CMMC Level 2 without rip-and-replace
Walk into your CMMC assessment without replacing a single machine.
The Access Gate delivers everything assessors look for. Wrapped around your existing OT.
Nothing installed on your machines
Trout uses overlay networking to protect specialized assets at the network layer. No agents, no installs, no “is this compatible?” conversations.
If it has an Ethernet port, we've got it covered.
