TXOne Networks has been recognized as an “Innovator” in the 2025 IT/OT Network Protection Platform Navigator, released by Westlands Advisory. This report highlights how TXOne addresses the most pressing cybersecurity challenges facing industrial organizations today, all without disrupting operations.
Urgent Market Requirements Demand a New Approach
Industrial organizations are struggling with fundamental security challenges that traditional approaches cannot solve. According to the 2025 Navigator, 60% of companies still operate with basic or no security programs in place. As digital transformation accelerates, the pressure to mature cybersecurity without disrupting critical operations has never been higher.
Westlands Advisory identifies three critical market requirements driving investment decisions:
Shift from Compliance to Resilience: The report emphasizes that “advanced Risk Leaders are moving from defining their cybersecurity program as a set of technical controls to building a program that delivers operational resilience.” Instead of focusing solely on compliance, organizations are now asking tougher, outcome-driven questions, such as “Are we resilient to ransomware?” and “How long would recovery take?”
Unified Management to Cut Complexity: With many organizations accumulating “a patchwork of security solutions managed by different service providers,” Westlands highlights the need to move beyond siloed tooling. Companies require integrated platforms that reduce vendor sprawl, eliminate blind spots, and provide unified visibility across operations.
Protecting Legacy Assets Without Disruption: Industrial environments often rely on aging infrastructure, where “changes that introduce latency, risk downtime, or interfere with automation are often resisted.” The report stresses that security must preserve, not compromise, these assets. Organizations need protection that avoids costly replacements and doesn’t interfere with existing systems.
TXOne’s Market Validation Through Customer Outcomes
Westlands Advisory’s recognition validates how TXOne specifically addresses these market-driven requirements through measurable customer outcomes:
Achieving Operational Resilience: TXOne’s Cyber-Physical System Detection and Response (CPSDR) framework embodies the report’s emphasis on resilience by design. With solutions explicitly designed to ensure operational continuity deployed across more than 3,600 mission-critical environments, customers achieve the measurable resilience outcomes the market demands, proving that systems can answer “yes” to critical resilience questions.
Eliminating Integration Complexity: The Navigator specifically highlights TXOne’s integrated portfolio, which spans Edge network protection, Stellar endpoint security, Element security inspection, and SageOne governance, as a key differentiator. This unified architecture addresses the report’s call to “move beyond loosely connected point solutions to integrated, platform-based ecosystems,” and delivers the 60-80% reduction in vendor complexity that customers require.
Extending Legacy Asset Life: TXOne’s commitment to Windows XP/2000 support through 2031 directly responds to what the report identifies as a persistent challenge – protecting aging infrastructure. By enabling 7-10 years of secure operational life and avoiding replacement costs that average $2-5 million per legacy system, TXOne delivers what Westlands describes as “non-invasive monitoring and context-aware alerting,” which keeps critical processes intact.
Industry Transformation Through Proven Results
The Navigator’s methodology is grounded in interviews with over 70 organizations. That research confirms TXOne’s strong customer expansion rate as evidence that organizations naturally progress from pilot deployments to comprehensive protection once they see the value of unified detection, prevention, and response.
As the report concludes, “resilience reframes cybersecurity as a continuous business risk management process,” one that demands integration across visibility, protection, governance, and recovery. TXOne’s recognition as an Innovator reinforces how the operations-first approach delivers the measurable business resilience that modern industrial organizations now expect.
Moving Forward: Leading with Prevention
As the industrial security landscape continues to evolve and mature, we remain committed to our prevention-first philosophy, developing solutions that not only detect threats but also actively prevent them from impacting operations.
