Operational Intelligence for Secure Industrial Edge

Expanso and i4 Ops bridge the gap between OT and IT systems with real-time distributed data processing built for industrial environments

The Industrial Data Gap

Industrial environments generate massive volumes of operational data - sensor readings, PLC signals, equipment telemetry - but most of it never reaches the systems that could act on it. The gap between OT and IT costs manufacturers millions in downtime, waste, and missed optimization.

72%

of industrial data is never analyzed or acted upon

$50B

lost annually to unplanned downtime in manufacturing

10ms

response time required for real-time process control decisions

Control, Deploy, Secure, Scale

i4 Ops brings deep industrial domain expertise while Expanso provides the distributed data fabric that connects the factory floor to the enterprise - with end-to-end security for data at every stage

OT Protocol Support

Native connectors for OPC-UA, MQTT, Modbus, and PROFINET. Collect data from PLCs, SCADA systems, and industrial sensors without custom integration work.

Real-Time Processing

Process sensor data at the edge with sub-millisecond latency. Detect anomalies, trigger alerts, and make control decisions before data ever leaves the plant floor.

Predictive Maintenance

Run ML models at the edge to predict equipment failures before they happen. Reduce unplanned downtime and extend asset lifecycles across your entire fleet.

Data Contextualization

Enrich raw sensor data with operational context - asset metadata, production schedules, and quality parameters - before routing to IT systems.

Air-Gapped Ready

Industrial environments often can't connect to the cloud. Expanso runs fully disconnected, syncing data when connectivity is available.

Multi-Site Visibility

Aggregate operational data from dozens of plants into a single view. Compare performance, standardize processes, and identify best practices across your entire operation.

Data in Use Protection

Data is encrypted inbound and outbound, but when data is in use, it is exposed to data theft - whether from agents, credentialed users, malware, or applications. i4 Zero Exfil closes the gate on data in-use exfiltration, completing your end-to-end encryption posture.

Industrial Applications

Purpose-built solutions for the most demanding industrial environments

Manufacturing

Monitor production lines in real-time, detect quality deviations at the source, and optimize throughput with edge-processed sensor data. Reduce scrap rates and improve OEE across your entire fleet of equipment.

Quality Control OEE Tracking Process Control

Energy and Utilities

Monitor distributed generation assets, optimize grid operations, and detect faults before outages. Process SCADA and meter data at substations and renewable sites with no cloud dependency.

Grid Monitoring Asset Health SCADA Integration

Explore. Learn. Build.

Use cases that put data-in-use security at the center of your industrial operations

Exfiltration Prevention

Prevent unauthorized data extraction from edge nodes. i4 Zero Exfil monitors and blocks data exfiltration attempts from agents, compromised credentials, and malicious applications in real time.

Data Governance and Compliance

Generate comprehensive governance reports with i4 audit logs. Track data lineage, access patterns, and policy enforcement across every node - giving compliance teams the visibility they need.

Secure Edge AI

Run ML inference at the edge without exposing training data or model outputs to exfiltration. Keep sensitive operational intelligence locked inside secure compute boundaries.

Deploy Upstream Data Control in Minutes

From installation to full data control - secure your operational data pipeline end to end

1

Install Expanso Edge Agent

Single-command deployment on industrial gateways and edge servers. No cloud dependency required.

2

Enable i4 Zero Exfil

Activate the secure enclave to protect data in use. All processing happens inside the protected boundary - no data leaves without authorization.

3

Configure Data Pipelines

Route OT data through secure processing stages. Encrypt, transform, and govern - then forward only what's authorized to upstream systems.

Secure and Operational

Full upstream data control with exfiltration prevention, governance reporting, and end-to-end encryption for data at rest, in transit, and in use.

Documentation

Comprehensive guides for OT protocol integration, pipeline configuration, and security policy setup.

Proof of Concept

Test exfiltration of your existing environment and validate your exposure levels. Our guided PoC includes suggested exfil testing scenarios so you can see exactly where your data is vulnerable - and how i4 Zero Exfil closes the gaps.
