Control who can access your systems, from remote to LAN access
Control access across both local and remote connections
Avoid standing privileges and over-permissive access
Reduce configuration drift and manual exceptions
Maintain consistent controls across IT and OT systems
Document access decisions and enforcement over time
Trout Access Gate provides a central access control and enforcement point inside the network.
Instead of managing access separately across LAN rules and VPNs, IT teams define and enforce access policies in one place.
Controls are enforced on-premise, without agents and without redesigning the network.
Single access control point
Centralizes access enforcement for IT, OT, and DMZ systems, reducing tool sprawl and configuration drift.
Granular access policies
Defines access by user, group, system, and service, rather than broad network reachability.
Protocol-level control
Restricts access to specific protocols instead of full network access.
Time-bound access
Grants access for a defined duration, limiting standing privileges and reducing long-term exposure.
Integrated VPN workflows
Access Gate acts as a bastion for VPN access, providing control and visibility.
NIS2 increases accountability around who can access critical systems and how that access is managed over time.
Trout replaces flat VPN access and manual exception handling with a single on-premise control point that enforces, monitors, and records access continuously.
For IT teams, this means:
Reduced attack surface
Faster containment during incidents
Clear visibility into who accessed what and when
Defensible, repeatable access control for audits
Summary of Trout Access Gate and NIS2 Coverage
Trout Access Gate helps organizations meet NIS2 visibility and asset-management requirements by providing continuous, on-premise insight into IT and OT environments. It passively observes live network traffic to automatically identify connected assets, their roles, and their communication flows, without agents, scans, or changes to legacy systems.
This real-time inventory replaces static spreadsheets and periodic audits, giving IT teams an accurate view of systems supporting essential and important services.
During incidents, teams can scope impact based on actual activity and take immediate action by restricting permissions or modifying security enclaves to quarantine affected systems.
The result is a defensible, repeatable foundation for NIS2 risk management and reporting, suitable for industrial sites, regulated facilities, and other on-premise environments.
