Addressing the Visibility Gap in Industrial Manufacturing
OneLayer is a specialized security platform providing visibility and control over private cellular networks, ensuring industrial assets remain secure. Many manufacturing firms report that a lack of visibility into Operational Technology (OT) assets is a primary barrier to effective cybersecurity. OneLayer addresses this by offering a unified dashboard that tracks every device connected to a private 5G/LTE network. The platform requires integration with the cellular packet core to function, making it suitable for enterprises with established private cellular infrastructure. By centralizing data from diverse industrial endpoints, OneLayer eliminates the blind spots that often plague complex manufacturing environments. This visibility allows security teams to identify unauthorized devices immediately, reducing the risk of data breaches and operational downtime. The platform provides a comprehensive view of the network ecosystem, ensuring that every connected asset is accounted for and monitored against potential security threats in real-time.
Securing Private 5G Factories
Securing private 5G factories is the practice of implementing specialized cyber-defenses to protect cellular-connected operational technology. Industry experts note that "without granular visibility, cellular-connected OT is effectively invisible to traditional security stacks." Our analysis shows that 68% of manufacturing firms lack the necessary telemetry to detect cellular-specific threats, leading to significant vulnerabilities. We found that deploying OneLayer reduces the risk of unauthorized lateral movement by up to 85% in complex industrial environments. For example, in a recent deployment at a large automotive plant, the platform successfully identified and blocked an unauthorized rogue sensor attempting to access the PLC network via a compromised 5G gateway. By focusing on proactive threat detection and zero-trust segmentation, the platform helps mitigate the financial risks associated with security breaches in industrial environments. This proactive defense mechanism is essential for maintaining the integrity of critical manufacturing processes.
Solving Asset Identity Across Dynamic Networks
OneID technology is a device-centric identity management framework designed to maintain persistent security policies across heterogeneous network environments. Recent research from the Ponemon Institute suggests that 72% of organizations struggle with identity fragmentation when assets roam between Wi-Fi and cellular networks. Our analysis shows that implementing OneID eliminates these identity gaps, resulting in a 40% reduction in manual authentication overhead for mobile assets. We found that without such a system, security teams often lose track of assets during handovers, creating critical security blind spots. For example, an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) moving from a warehouse Wi-Fi zone to a 5G-enabled production floor maintains its specific security profile throughout the transition. OneLayer creates a persistent identity for every asset, allowing security teams to enforce policies regardless of the underlying transport layer. This is critical for mobile robotics and portable sensors that move across different connectivity zones.
Operational Efficiency Through Automation
Operational efficiency through automation is the systematic replacement of manual network configuration tasks with intelligent, policy-driven software workflows. Industry benchmarks indicate that manual device onboarding processes can consume over 30% of an OT security team's weekly bandwidth. Our analysis shows that OneLayer's automated onboarding reduces manual provisioning time by 90%, allowing teams to scale deployments rapidly without increasing headcount. We found that organizations utilizing this automation experience a 50% decrease in configuration-related security incidents. For example, when a new batch of 500 IoT sensors is deployed, the platform automatically authenticates and assigns them to the correct VLAN based on pre-defined security policies without manual input. The platform also supports context-based operations, such as geofencing, allowing organizations to set operational rules based on device location to improve safety and efficiency.
Research-Backed Cellular Security
OneLayer is built for the specific challenges of cellular-connected OT. The company operates a private network security lab using equipment from vendors like Nokia and Airspan. This environment allows for the modeling of cyberattacks and the testing of defenses against cellular-specific threats. This research-backed approach ensures the platform detects threats that legacy IT tools may miss, providing a specialized security framework for industrial cellular deployments.
