Rockwell Automation, the global leader in industrial automation and digital transformation, has strengthened Asia-Pacific’s cyber defenses with the launch of its new Security Operations Center (SOC) in Singapore.

This 24/7 facility integrates into Rockwell’s global managed services network, utilizing SecureOT technology to provide real-time monitoring and advanced threat detection. By bridging the gap between IT and OT environments, the SOC ensures industrial firms can rapidly identify, neutralize, and recover from evolving digital threats.

Located within Rockwell's Asia Pacific headquarters in Singapore, the SOC serves as a regional hub for Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services. It integrates vendor-neutral data ingestion, contextualized threat intelligence, and risk-based prioritization, enabling industrial teams to focus on the most critical vulnerabilities across complex, multi-vendor environments while ensuring rapid response and step-by-step remediation guided by Rockwell's cybersecurity experts.

"Cybersecurity is now inseparable from digital transformation," said Marcelo Tarkieltaub, regional director, Southeast Asia, Rockwell Automation. "Our new regional SOC hub in Singapore reflects our commitment to helping manufacturers connect, automate and protect their operations end-to-end. Having multiple capabilities under one roof allows for deeper collaboration and faster response, delivering stronger protection for our customers' critical operations. It enables them to test and engage with our capabilities firsthand, an important step for organizations evaluating the right partners for their cybersecurity journey."

"The opening of our regional SOC reinforces Singapore's role as a cybersecurity hub for the region. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with local agencies, academia and partners to strengthen industrial resilience and upskill new cybersecurity talent. In fact, we've recently onboarded several young professionals with cybersecurity majors, building their expertise to support global clients in the industrial security space."

The new SOC builds on Rockwell's SecureOT Solution Suite, which encompasses Strategic Advisory, Managed Industrial Networking and Infrastructure, Asset Management, Risk and Vulnerability Management, and Incident Response services.
