Secure the Flow of Files Between OT and IT Worlds

Enable safe collaboration across IT and operational systems with content-aware controls, real-time visibility, and enforced governance.

OT & IT Collaboration, Without the Risk

As IT and OT environments converge, the need to exchange data securely between them is rising—but traditional file sharing tools are often too open, too risky, or too limited. FileOrbis bridges this gap with a secure, governed file-sharing platform designed specifically to address the security, control, and visibility challenges of industrial and hybrid environments.

Whether you’re managing manufacturing data, machine logs, or operational reports, FileOrbis ensures that every file transfer follows your organization’s security policies—end to end.

How It Works?

Govern File Exchange Across Domains
FileOrbis gives OT and IT teams a shared, policy-driven platform to:

  • Exchange files securely across segmented networks
  • Apply content-aware policies before files move between domains
  • Trigger approvals for sensitive file types or destinations
  • Monitor and log every transfer and user action
  • Restrict file direction (e.g., only from OT to IT, not vice versa)
  • Detect and block risky file formats, macros, or embedded code

This ensures compliance, operational continuity, and cyber safety—without slowing down productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

OT environments are sensitive and often lack endpoint protection. Direct file transfer from IT to OT can introduce malware, unauthorized access, or data integrity issues.

It enforces policies, approvals, file-type restrictions, and content inspection before files move between domains—ensuring only authorized, safe files are exchanged.

Yes. Directional controls allow you to restrict file flow to only one direction (e.g., OT → IT), or require approval before two-way exchange.

Yes. FileOrbis can operate in segmented environments, working with secure gateways or middle-layer servers to facilitate compliant exchange.

Any file type can be scanned and governed—PDFs, Office docs, CAD files, logs, scripts, firmware, and more.

Before FileOrbis, file sharing between our OT and IT teams was manual and risky. Now, everything flows through a controlled path with policies, approvals, and logs in place. It’s a game-changer for our industrial security posture.
