Barry-Wehmiller Design Group and Kasm Technologies Partner to Bring Controlled Remote Access to the Plant Floor
Kasm for OT joins DG360, BWDG's managed OT security services platform, giving manufacturers one auditable front door to production systems, legacy equipment included, with control over who connects, which assets they reach, and how long access lasts.
ARLINGTON, Va.|November 12, 2026
Barry-Wehmiller Design Group (BWDG) and Kasm Technologies today announced a partnership that integrates Kasm for OT into DG360, BWDG’s customizable OT security managed services platform. The combined solution gives manufacturers precise control and auditability over who connects to production systems, which assets they can reach, and how long that access lasts.
Manufacturing is the most cyberattacked industry, with an average cost of $4.88M per incident. Remote access sits at the center of that exposure. OEM contracts often require it, skilled labor is scarce, and sites are spread across regions. VPNs lack the granularity and audit trails these workflows demand, and many alternatives require endpoint agents, leave legacy applications outside the strategy, or take months to deploy.
What Kasm for OT uniquely delivers
A single front door across vendors. One browser-based platform brokers access to the tools each person needs, replacing a separate access product for every vendor stack.
Disposable, isolated sessions. Each session runs in a containerized workspace, so a compromised credential or endpoint has no direct path to the plant floor.
Controls inside the session. Built-in DLP, key logging, file transfer and screen capture controls, watermarking, and kiosk mode limit what a user can do while connected.
Cyber-wrapping for legacy and end-of-life systems. Older operating systems and applications stay in service without exposing their vulnerabilities directly, which removes the pressure to rip and replace.
Multi-site scale without added hardware. A multi-tenant, software-defined architecture extends to new sites without a physical footprint at each one.
Customer ownership of the access layer. Underlying tools can be swapped over time while the access model stays in place, enabling a flexible modernization strategy.
What BWDG uniquely delivers
DG360 is built around the Five ICS Cybersecurity Critical Controls and configured to each facility’s environment, risk profile, and operational priorities. Powered by a Manufacturer’s Mindset™, BWDG pairs more than 450 system integration professionals with 24/7 managed services that monitor, tune, and evolve each customer’s security posture. Secure remote access is one of the five controls, and Kasm now serves as the access layer within it, working alongside DG360 technology partners including Claroty, TxOne, Salvador Technologies, Elastic, and Xiid.
Better together
BWDG brings OT context, integration depth, and managed operations. Kasm brings a platform that simplifies the path to modernization while securing uptime and availability. Manufacturers get remote access that fits real plant conditions, with every session logged and auditable.
“Kasm’s roots in demanding defense environments, including work with DOW, show in how the platform handles access control and auditability. It also gives our customers room to grow. The customer owns the access layer and the architecture is modular, so we can design DG360 around each facility’s needs today and adapt as their tools, sites, and strategy evolve.”
