Phoenix Contact USA announced the official launch of its Technology Alliance Program (TAP). This global initiative expands the capabilities of the Phoenix Contact EP Raptor Series of industrial network switches and the company’s broader computing ecosystem through validated, interoperable third-party applications.
As part of the program’s first wave, Phoenix Contact has formed partnerships with:
CyVault: A global OT/ICS cyber defense leader offering advanced, comprehensive protection and OT/ICS CyberSOC as a Service for industrial organizations and critical infrastructure, with adaptive automated incident response.
EmberOT: Helps industrial companies clearly see threats, safeguard vital systems, and become more resilient.
Industrial Defender: Provides robust OT asset management and compliance automation for critical infrastructure operators.
JPEmbedded: Delivers advanced communication and cybersecurity solutions for power systems and industrial networks.
PCItek: Delivers integration consulting, solutions, and products to the utility industry.
Radiflow: Protects industrial sites by providing unified visibility, real-time threat detection, and automated risk management.
SyskeyOT: Provides customer-centric cybersecurity solutions for OT/IACS networks.
Phoenix Contact had previously announced partnerships with Xona and Forescout, which are also part of TAP.
TAP is built on a simple principle: customers who rely on Phoenix Contact’s substation-grade hardware can choose the applications that best fit their operational and cybersecurity needs. The program accelerates the industry shift from multiple standalone appliances to converged, high-performance platforms capable of hosting cybersecurity, automation, and analytics applications directly on EP Raptor switches, Phoenix Contact industrial PCs, or within the PLCnext Technology ecosystem.
The program’s benefits include:
Reduced device footprint and consolidation of dedicated appliances.
Lower power consumption and simplified cabling.
Improved mean time between failures through fewer failure points.
Streamlined deployment of cybersecurity and automation workloads.
A vendor-agnostic platform that adapts to each customer’s preferred toolset.
