YS::Desktop 1.2: A Clearer View of the OT Landscape

Beyond the maze of OT-IT convergence, amid aging assets and AI ambitions, I remain unafraid ;

For with YS::Desktop new features, I can finally see the whole ecosystem.

The promise of OT-IT convergence is compelling: better visibility, better operations, and better business outcomes. Yet for many OT CISOs, reality is more complex.

Legacy industrial systems were never designed to be connected. With critical assets spread across remote locations, security teams often struggle to maintain visibility, secure remote access, and contain the risks introduced by every new connection.

YS::Desktop 1.2 introduces new capabilities specifically designed to help OT organizations tackle some of their most persistent visibility and segmentation challenges.

Built to Fit Your Architecture, Not Break it.

You built a wall between OT and IT environments… then watched a technician bypass it with a single laptop used for office work, engineering, and maintenance. Security or operability?  It doesn't have to be a trade-off.

YS::Desktop integrates into existing network architectures while respecting established segmentation rules. Hypervisor traffic follows the organization's network design rather than requiring dedicated exceptions.  

Moreover, YS::Desktop automatically associates each environment with its appropriate VLAN according to its security domain.

Whether users interact with corporate IT systems, industrial networks, engineering zones, or maintenance environments, traffic remains separated and properly identified.

The result is simple: segmentation remains segmentation.
The architecture stays clean, compliant, and easier to manage.

Smarter Peripheral Control So You Can See What Was Previously Invisible

Many organizations still struggle with incomplete inventories, limited awareness of connected assets, and uncertainty regarding the devices interacting with critical systems.

At the same time, removable media remains one of the most common pathways into industrial environments.

A USB drive brought by a contractor. A maintenance device borrowed from another site. A forgotten peripheral connected to the wrong network.

All it takes is one mistake.

YS::Desktop 1.2 introduces advanced peripheral filtering capabilities designed to reduce these risks.  

The admin can now define exactly which devices are authorized to interact with each isolated environment. They can filter access down to the individual peripheral ID.

This prevents unmanaged peripherals from being connected to sensitive systems and helps ensure that critical environments remain protected from unintended exposure.

Because visibility starts with knowing not only what exists, but also what is allowed.
