How Agentless Access Works
The solution allows centralized management and simplified configuration for OT endpoints including human-machine interfaces, legacy systems, and closed devices without software installation. Combined with Tensor’s Hybrid Conditional Access, manufacturers gain secure, flexible connectivity across highly segmented networks while streamlining maintenance and troubleshooting workflows.
Companies like Schwäbische Werkzeugmaschinen already use Tensor for remote PLC programming, controlling and automating shop floor machines. Agentless Access extends this capability by eliminating operational barriers that can introduce risk or downtime.
Addressing Cybersecurity Challenges
As factories modernize and become more connected, industrial systems face increasing cyberattack exposure. Organizations need solutions that protect critical systems while maximizing uptime, ensuring compliance, and maintaining operational control.
TeamViewer Tensor enforces zero-trust remote access across segmented networks with protocol isolation and full audit logging. IT teams maintain governance and visibility while OT teams retain operational control and safety—bridging the gap between different departmental goals.
Bridging IT and OT Environments
Caroline Hempfing, Director of Product Management at TeamViewer, emphasized how Agentless Access gives manufacturers reliable ways to connect to critical systems remotely without compromising compliance or security—essential in today’s connected production landscape.
The platform enables secure collaboration across IT and OT domains through one unified solution, addressing the intersection of these increasingly overlapping environments.
