Frenos Introduces Optica: Industry's First Tech-Enabled Rapid Visibility Service for OT Security

 

Revolutionary approach enables comprehensive security analysis of critical infrastructure without complete asset visibility or operational disruption

 

Charlotte, N.C., June 11th, 2025  -  Frenos, the hottest company in operational technology (OT) security, today announced the launch of Optica, the industry's first tech-enabled rapid visibility service designed to solve one of critical infrastructure's most persistent challenges: securing OT systems without complete visibility.

Traditional OT security approaches force organizations to choose between operational stability and security confidence. Active scanning tools risk disrupting essential processes, while deploying passive monitoring sensors across hundreds or thousands of locations proves neither feasible nor scalable. This visibility gap creates fundamental business risks, preventing organizations from quantifying their security posture, demonstrating regulatory compliance, or making informed security investments.

"Organizations managing critical infrastructure have long asked, 'How do we secure systems we can't fully see?'" said Harry Thomas, Chief Technology Officer at Frenos. "Optica fundamentally changes this equation by enabling comprehensive OT security analysis even without complete asset visibility; something previously thought impossible."

 

Leveraging OT Environment Commonalities for Rapid Deployment

Optica's breakthrough approach recognizes that OT environments are built to specifications, whether following OEM cookie cutter deployments or internal standards. By creating high-fidelity virtual representations through templatized models, Optica enables security teams to bypass traditional visibility barriers and immediately focus on security assessment, prioritization, and proactive defense.

Key capabilities include:

  • Template-based modeling that leverages existing OT datasets to create detailed network representations
  • Hardware and software configuration mapping without requiring active scanning or passive monitoring
  • Protocol implementations and communications pathway analysis
  • Integration with existing security tools through multi-platform compatibility

 

Transformative Results When Paired with The Frenos Platform

When integrated with the Frenos Platform, Optica creates a digital twin simulation environment that transforms static OT visibility data into actionable intelligence. This powerful combination enables customers to:

  • Protect operations while improving security through attack path modeling that never touches production systems
  • Make smarter security mitigations with evidence-based risk analysis replacing costly guesswork
  • Showcase your OT security posture advancements via continuous tracking of measurable vulnerability, visibility, segmentation, and configuration improvements
  • Stay audit-ready year-round with automated documentation that satisfies regulatory requirements for assessments

For the first time, security leaders can make informed decisions about protecting critical infrastructure without perfect visibility, without operational disruption, and without relying on generic advice that ignores environmental specifics," added Thomas.

 

Strategic Partner Network Ensures Rapid Deployment

To accelerate adoption and ensure successful implementations, Optica is available through Frenos' network of specialized OT services partners, including Enaxy, Morgan Franklin Consulting, Level5Cyber, Archer, and Secure Tactics. These partners bring deep operational technology expertise and established relationships with critical infrastructure operators, enabling organizations to quickly realize Optica's benefits through proven deployment methodologies and local support.

"Our Optica partnership ecosystem ensures that organizations can access Optica's capabilities through trusted advisors who understand their unique operational requirements," said Brian Proctor, Chief Executive Officer at Frenos. "This approach combines Optica's innovative technology with hands-on expertise from partners who have extensive experience securing critical infrastructure."

Greg Carrico, Chief Technology Officer at LeveL5Cyber reinforced this vision “Securing OT is our sole mission. Leveraging Frenos’ innovative solution, we’re able to bring our clients almost instantaneous value and quickly establish an actionable plan toward risk reduction. Through our partnership, we’re bringing together like-minded teams to accomplish a shared vision.”

Enaxy's Founder and CEO Dennis Distler added" At Enaxy, our mission is to safeguard our clients and their physical assets in an increasingly complex risk environment. By partnering with Frenos, we enable organizations to quickly identify and prioritize the most critical vulnerabilities. This focused, data-driven approach cuts through the noise, enabling faster remediation and allowing our clients to stay ahead of threats with confidence and clarity."
