TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- OPSWAT, the global leader in Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP), with cybersecurity solutions protection for both the IT and Operational Technology (OT) systems of the enterprise, today announced that it is one of the 12 select companies invited by Forrester to participate in its Forrester Wave evaluation, The Forrester Wave^™: Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Security Solutions, Q4 2021.

"It's an absolute honor to be invited into the Forrester ICS Security Solutions Wave," stated Benny Czarny, Founder and CEO of OPSWAT. "2021 has been an exceptional year for our company. Not only have we doubled the size of our team, but we've also made tremendous strides with our products, continuing to innovate at every level. We are committed to helping our customers stay safe from today's dynamic cybersecurity threat landscape. I look forward to finishing the year strong and to a stellar 2022."

OPSWAT tackles this problem with an integrated suite of tools from the front door to endpoints in the OT environments. Reference customers did overwhelmingly praise OPSWAT's customer support. OPSWAT is a best fit for the highest-security industrial environments around the world."
