SHERIDAN, WYOMING - April 14, 2026 - TXOne Networks has released its 2026 Annual OT/ICS Cybersecurity Report, compiling input from 200 C-level respondents across six industries and five global regions to assess the state of operational technology security as of 2025. The report is one of the more substantive executive-level surveys in the OT/ICS sector, providing cross-industry benchmark data for organizations managing cyber-physical system risk. TXOne, which operates as an operations-first OT security company with exclusive focus on industrial environments, published the findings alongside continued product and research output, including a new EdgeFire datasheet and an oil and gas threat analysis white paper released in late March 2026.
Business impact
For industrial security buyers, operations managers, and C-suite decision-makers, the report offers a rare cross-sector view of OT security maturity at the executive level. The surveyed population spans semiconductor, automotive, food and beverage, healthcare, oil and gas, and green energy - industries where unplanned downtime carries direct revenue, safety, and regulatory consequences. Organizations benchmarking their own security programs can use the data to assess peer investment levels, risk prioritization approaches, and program maturity across regions. The five-region geographic scope also gives procurement and strategy teams a reference point for understanding how OT security postures differ across markets, which has operational relevance for multinational manufacturers and infrastructure operators.
OT Zero Trust framework and product architecture
TXOne structures its security model around OT Zero Trust - described as "never trust, always verify" - applied natively to industrial environments rather than adapted from enterprise IT frameworks. The product portfolio is organized around three operational layers: workforce tools for asset and device inspection (Portable Inspector, Safe Port, ElementOne), workload-level endpoint protection for ICS assets in extreme conditions (Stellar), and workplace network defense via OT-native segmentation (EdgeIPS, EdgeFire, EdgeOne). The SageOne platform functions as a CPS protection layer, contextualizing security measures against the full operational lifecycle of individual assets. Across the portfolio, a core design constraint is non-disruption: products are built to deploy without halting production, with specific support for air-gapped environments and legacy endpoints that cannot be patched through conventional means.
Sector coverage and recent research output
TXOne's vertical coverage reflects the industrial sectors where cyber-physical risk is most operationally concentrated. Semiconductor fabs, automotive lines, smart factories, and critical energy infrastructure each carry distinct network architectures, legacy asset mixes, and compliance contexts that limit the applicability of generic security tooling. The company's network segmentation approach is framed as productivity-based, targeting incident impact reduction rather than broad access restriction that could slow operations. Supply chain security is also addressed through device inspection capabilities designed to cover assets moving in and out of controlled environments. On the research side, a March 30 white paper on offensive threats against oil and gas perimeter devices and a concurrent blog on maritime cybersecurity risks indicate active threat intelligence output beyond the annual report.
Global operations and partner ecosystem
TXOne serves customers globally through a partner network it describes as comprising industry leaders across multiple regions. The company's website supports English, Japanese, and Korean, reflecting material operations in APAC alongside its broader international presence. Regional support teams are positioned to assist with deployment across the industries and geographies covered in the annual report. The company maintains a PSIRT function and an OT Cybersecurity Glossary as part of its operator-facing resources, supporting organizations at varying stages of OT security program development.
