Logging and monitoring are costly to build and maintain

Logging and monitoring are costly to build and maintain

NIS2 requires organizations to collect and monitor security logs, but in on-premise environments this often means building and operating complex log pipelines across many systems.

Maintaining these pipelines over time consumes significant engineering effort and operational resources.

NIS2 makes cybersecurity a board-level responsibility, with direct accountability for leadership.

Trout provides a simple, on-premise way to deliver this visibility, control, and evidence without agents or disruption.

Collect logs from heterogeneous IT and OT systems
Build and maintain log pipelines and integrations
Detect suspicious activity in real time
Investigate incidents and document them
Demonstrate monitoring and response capabilities over time

Trout Access Gate capabilities

Trout Access Gate Features

Native logging and monitoring, built into the control point

Native logging and monitoring, built into the control point

Trout Access Gate provides built-in logging and monitoring at the point where access and communications are enforced.

Instead of aggregating logs after the fact, Trout records security-relevant events as they occur, directly at the network control layer. This provides consistent, structured data without building complex pipelines.

Monitoring and response actions are available immediately, from the same interface.

Native, structured security logs

Automatically records access requests, approvals, connections, policy changes, and enforcement actions.

Unified view across IT, OT, and remote access

Logs cover internal and remote access paths, IT and OT systems, and cross-zone communications.

Simple investigation workflows

Allows teams to pivot from an alert or event directly to the affected asset, user, and communication context.

One-click containment actions

Enables immediate response by restricting permissions or modifying security enclaves to block unintended communication.

SIEM integration

Exports logs to SIEM platforms for centralized analysis, correlation, and long-term retention.

NIS2 expects organizations not only to collect logs, but to use them to detect incidents and respond effectively.

Trout reduces the operational overhead of logging and monitoring by combining:

  • Native visibility

  • Built-in response actions

  • Optional SIEM integration

How Trout Access Gate Secures On-Premise Systems & Supports NIS2

How Trout Access Gate Secures On-Premise Systems & Supports NIS2

What does NIS2 require for logging and monitoring?

NIS2 expects organizations to collect and retain security-relevant logs, monitor systems for suspicious activity, and be able to detect, investigate, and respond to incidents. Logging must support both operational response and regulatory reporting.

Why is logging difficult in on-premise and industrial environments?

Logs are spread across firewalls, VPNs, servers, OT systems, and vendor tools, each with different formats and retention capabilities. Building and maintaining pipelines to centralize and normalize this data requires significant engineering effort and ongoing maintenance.

How does Trout Access Gate simplify logging?

Trout Access Gate generates native, structured logs directly at the network access control point. Access decisions, connections, policy changes, and enforcement actions are recorded automatically without requiring separate log collectors or complex pipelines.

Does Trout replace a SIEM?

No. Trout does not replace a SIEM. It reduces the need to push all complexity into the SIEM by producing clean, security-relevant logs at the source. These logs can be forwarded to a SIEM for correlation, long-term retention, or compliance reporting if required.

How can IT teams investigate incidents using Trout?

From a security event, teams can pivot directly to the affected asset, user, and access context. Investigation does not require switching between multiple tools to reconstruct timelines or access paths.

Can Trout help with incident response, not just logging?

Yes. During an incident, IT teams can immediately restrict permissions, block unintended communications, or modify security enclaves to quarantine affected systems with a single action, while preserving evidence of both exposure and response.

Does Trout support deep traffic analysis?

Yes. Teams can place a specific asset under surveillance and trigger targeted packet capture (PCAP) with one click, enabling deeper analysis without permanent monitoring overhead.

Summary of Trout Access Gate and NIS2 Coverage

This page explains how Trout Access Gate addresses the NIS2 logging and monitoring requirements in on-premise and industrial environments.

By providing native, structured logging at the network control point, it eliminates the need for complex log pipelines while delivering consistent visibility across IT, OT, and remote access. Built-in investigation and response capabilities allow teams to quickly contain incidents, place assets under surveillance, and capture evidence, while still integrating with SIEM platforms when needed.

The result is simpler operations, faster response, and a defensible approach to NIS2 monitoring and reporting.
