Phoenix Contact Technology Alliance Program Expands EP Raptor Platform
Industrial networking | EP Raptor, validated applications, and OT cybersecurity
✓ What problem are we solving?
Industrial networks are carrying more control, monitoring, security, and edge-computing workloads. As those systems grow, owners need compatible applications that can be validated for industrial use instead of treated as one-off software experiments.
Phoenix Contact's Technology Alliance Program supports the EP Raptor platform by connecting validated third-party applications with industrial network switching and computing hardware.
Stronger application ecosystem
Validated partner applications can expand what the EP Raptor platform can support in industrial environments.
Better OT visibility
Cybersecurity, asset management, incident response, and network monitoring tools can help teams see and manage risk more clearly.
Cleaner integration path
An alliance program can reduce uncertainty when adding third-party software to critical industrial networks.
✓ What technology supports the solution?
The program focuses on interoperable applications for Phoenix Contact's EP Raptor Series of industrial network switches and the broader industrial computing ecosystem.
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.
✓ Review the industrial network architecture and connected assets.
✓ Match cybersecurity, monitoring, and application needs to validated platform capabilities.
✓ Plan deployment, documentation, and long-term support before adding tools to critical networks.
Who is included in the first wave?
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 industry-first OT/ICS CyberSOC as a Service for industrial organizations and critical infrastructure, with Adaptive Automated Incident Response.
- EmberOT helps industrial companies see threats clearly, safeguard vital systems, and emerge more capable.
- 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.
✓ How is the solution implemented?
BEA can help customers evaluate industrial network hardware, cybersecurity requirements, application integration, and support expectations before deploying new OT tools.
