Stratodesk Expands Presence in the Industrial and Manufacturing Markets, Redefining Endpoint Management for Operations Technology

Industrial Machinery Digest — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 18:00:09 +0000

Stratodesk, the leading innovator of the ultra-secure endpoint operating system (OS) for modern workspaces, today announced its expansion in the Industrial Automation market, modernizing the landscape of IT and OT endpoint management. The launch of Stratodesk’s Industrial OT program combines expertise in endpoint OS security and management solutions with partners in IT/OT hardware, industrial automation software, and more, creating powerful, customized solutions for customers in the industrial sector.

Building on their success in the end-user computing market, Stratodesk is leveraging its secure, thin “NoTouch OS” operating system to address the unique challenges in OT environments. This expansion allows Stratodesk to offer a comprehensive solution that bridges the gap between IT and OT, enabling seamless management of diverse endpoints across factory floors, energy plants, loading stations, and other industrial settings.

The move comes at a critical time for the industrial and manufacturing sectors, when organizations are increasingly seeking to digitally transform their operations and enhance security, often looking for ways to remove Windows OS from the production floor. Stratodesk’s NoTouch Industrial IoT solution addresses cybersecurity concerns, integration complexities, and the need for scalable architectures. By providing a secure, Linux-based operating system capable of managing MES, automation software, as well as VDI and IoT endpoints, Stratodesk offers industrial organizations the ability to configure HMI device connections, protocols, and data paths while maintaining robust security measures.

“We’re expanding our IIoT footprint, bringing the proven security and flexibility of NoTouch OS to the world of industrial automation,” said Emanuel Pirker, Founder and CEO of Stratodesk. “We are enabling organizations to modernize their operations, reduce endpoint management complexity, and enhance security across industrial control systems—without disrupting mission-critical processes.”

“We are excited to work closer with Stratodesk to make it easy to run Ignition on NoTouch OS,” said Travis Cox, Chief Technology Evangelist at Inductive Automation. “As customers embark on their digital transformation journey, they need an easy way to deploy Ignition and Ignition Edge in the field at scale securely where updates are seamless, and everything can be managed by a central team.”

“Stratodesk NoTouch OS on Cybernet’s industrial computers enables customers to achieve unprecedented levels of security, efficiency, and centralized management across their industrial IoT deployments,” said Jae Yun, Director of Global Product Management. “Together we’re upgrading customer endpoint environments in the industrial sector.”
