Manufacturing & OT: secure the floor without downtime.
Remove the persistent OS from OT devices, eliminating patch windows and the malware persistence that threatens uptime on the factory floor.
You can't take the line down to patch it.
HMIs, engineering workstations, and shop-floor PCs run aging operating systems that can't be patched without stopping production, so they don't get patched. That leaves a persistent, unpatched attack surface where malware can take hold and survive reboots. On the floor, uptime wins every argument, and security loses by default. The persistent OS is the root of both problems.
The pressure points in OT.
Patch windows cost uptime
Updating a line means stopping it, so it rarely happens.
Malware persistence
An infected OT device stays infected across reboots.
Legacy operating systems
Unsupported OS versions linger because nothing can replace them safely.
Flat, exposed devices
A compromised floor endpoint becomes a foothold into OT.
Remove the persistent OS, keep the uptime.
No persistent OS to patch
There's no accumulated install to maintain a patch window for.
No malware persistence
Every boot starts from a verified baseline, infections don't survive.
Stateless by design
Devices run authorized work, then reset to nothing.
Governed centrally
Manage and repurpose floor devices from Switchboard.
Malware that survives a reboot.
When the device resets to a verified baseline, persistence has nowhere to live.
OT and floor IT, answered.
Do we still need patch windows?+
There's no persistent OS accumulating on the device to patch, so the patch-window-versus-uptime tradeoff largely goes away. Each boot starts from a current, verified baseline.
What happens if a device is infected?+
Nothing carries over. The next clean boot starts from a verified baseline, so malware can't persist on the endpoint.
Will it run our HMI and engineering software?+
Yes. ZeroCore runs your authorized industrial workloads locally and statelessly.
“The line doesn't go down to patch a device that holds nothing. Every boot is the patch.”
See the stateless endpoint on your own hardware.
Flash an idle machine into a live endpoint and run your real workloads. You buy no hardware and sign nothing.
