A Formidable Foundation For Strategic Success
Secure, trusted OT data ensures every team works from the same foundation of integrity, protection, and reliability.
MDB uses a zero-trust design with certificate-based authentication, encryption, and other cybersecurity best practices to protect critical OT data across legacy and modern systems while allowing innovation to flow.
Fortify First. Operate Freely.
Before: A Blend of Legacy and Modern Systems
Many organizations rely on a patchwork of firewalls, ad hoc VPNs, and IT policy exceptions, widening the IT/OT gap, slowing progress, and leaving OT data exposed.
After: A Unified Security Posture That Scales
Matrikon Data Broker replaces complex ETL pipelines and establishes a zero-trust foundation across your OT environment, leveraging role-based access, certificate-based identity, strong encryption, and comprehensive audit logs to help you stay in control and move at the speed of progress.
Security is the Starting Point
Trusted, secure OT data is the lifeblood of the unified OT data layer. With uncompromised, accurate OT data points, you can confidently extract insight and inform strategy.
Protect What Powers Progress
Matrikon secures OT data at the source, so you can build confidently on top of it.
Every Asset. Every Angle.
When OT cybersecurity is built into your infrastructure, not around it, you turn risk into resilience. Matrikon Data Broker applies controlled access, role-based authentication, encryption, audit trails, DMZ protection, and other key security policies across all sites, assets, and users.
With security built in from the start, your data stays secure, scalable, and usable — making it easier to align day-to-day operations with high-level strategy.
Access Without Exposure
For CISOs and CIOs, OT data and its security can feel like a compromise where either the OT data perimeter is locked down or everyone gets access to the OT data they need.
Matrikon Data Broker secures OT data sources while making their data securely available to authorized users enterprise-wide. MDB is based on cybersecurity best practices (example: using X.509 certificates, role-based access control (RBAC), and encrypted transport). All the OT data, no compromise.
Proof on Demand
Matrikon Data Broker (MDB) automates compliance logging with always-on access monitoring and detailed event logs across every data interaction. Whether you’re preparing for a third-party audit or tracking internal accountability, MDB enables streamlined evidence collection and compliance reporting.
With built-in support for leading frameworks, including ISA/IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and CFR Part 11, Matrikon Data Broker ensures compliance is continuous and organizations always know where they stand.
Protection Meets Innovation
Matrikon Data Broker utilizes OPC UA Reverse Connect to enable inside-out communications, where the OT system initiates outbound connections to IT systems instead of being called inbound. This approach removes the need to open firewall ports on the OT side, effectively reducing cybersecurity exposure while facilitating uninterrupted data exchange.
By safeguarding control systems from unsolicited traffic, you reduce your attack surface while maintaining continuous operations. This architecture respects DMZ boundaries and simplifies IT/OT alignment, delivering secure data that can be more effectively used to fuel digital transformation.
Right People. Right Data.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) allows you to control exactly who sees what, down to the tag level. From engineers, analysts, and third-party vendors, everyone gets access to the data they need, but nothing more. Certificate-based identity adds another layer of trust. Using X.509 certificates, Matrikon ensures only authenticated users and applications connect to your systems. Together, these controls turn security from a manual process into a built-in system of trust.
From Now to Next
As security standards evolve and operational complexity increases, Matrikon Data Broker keeps your protection up to speed. Coming soon, upcoming MDB releases will add LDAP and Active Directory integration (2026) and advanced policy controls to simplify IT/OT integration at scale, making it easier to manage OT data access via enterprise identity systems with minimal effort and repetition.

How It Works: Defense Designed For Growth
MDB secures OT data at its source, enabling safe, uninterrupted data flows without exposing sensitive systems. Here’s how:
Certificate-Verified, Role-Based Access
Tag-level permissions limit access to the right people, and X.509 certificates verify trusted devices and applications.
Encryption in Transit
End-to-end encryption prevents eavesdropping, modification, and man-in-the-middle attacks.
Reverse Connect for DMZ & Firewall Security
Outbound-only OT connections eliminate open inbound firewall ports and reduce attack surface.
Audit Logging & Session Tracing
Every interaction is logged, supporting regulatory compliance and incident response.
LDAP/AD Integration (2026)
Unify OT authentication with enterprise identity systems for streamlined governance.
Granular Policy Control (2026)
Set nuanced access policies across users, sites, and roles — enabling scale without risk.
Every Sector. Every System.
From smart buildings to factories and chemical labs, MDB helps leaders transform OT data into a competitive edge while minimizing security risks.
Secure OT Data in Action: Pharmaceutical Industry Example
In pharmaceutical production environments, regulatory audits are high-stakes and time-intensive. By centralizing access control and implementing certificate-based identities through Matrikon Data Broker, pharmaceutical teams can reduce audit validation workload by 20–30%, based on industry norms.
