Two specialists are joining forces to serve industrial customers who can no longer treat IT and OT as separate entities.
TRIOVEGA GmbH and IT Kombinat GmbH announce their official partnership. Together, the two companies are addressing a blind spot that is increasingly becoming a risk in KRITIS environments and manufacturing facilities: the continued tendency to treat IT and OT infrastructure as separate entities. While EU regulations such as NIS-2 and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) have long mandated holistic security approaches, practices in many places are still lagging behind.
A Partner That Sees the Big Picture
IT Kombinat is an experienced IT security and infrastructure service provider with deep expertise in the holistic protection of enterprise environments. From traditional IT networks to SIEM and IAM, all the way to OT security strategies. It is precisely this profile that makes IT Kombinat and TRIOVEGA ideal partners: While many providers view IT or OT in isolation, IT Kombinat understands that the two belong together. And that true security begins only when both worlds are consistently taken into account.
For providers of critical infrastructure—whether in the energy, water, industrial, or healthcare sectors—this holistic approach is no longer optional but mandatory. NIS-2 and CRA establish the regulatory framework; what’s missing are partnerships that bring it to life. TRIOVEGA and IT Kombinat aim to be exactly that.
Comments on the Partnership
“Many organizations face the same challenge: IT is secured professionally, while OT has evolved over time, is difficult to change, and yet is business-critical. This is exactly where we need partners who understand both worlds. With TRIOVEGA, we’re gaining a specialist that can secure industrial environments in a technically sound, operationally seamless, and regulatory-compliant manner. For our customers, this results in an integrated approach combining consulting, IT security, OT security, and strong implementation capabilities.”

edge.SHIELDOR: The OT Security Module for Secure Digitalization
With edge.SHIELDOR, TRIOVEGA brings a patented OT security layer to the partnership that protects industrial systems—from legacy systems to new machines—without requiring software updates on the systems themselves. edge.SHIELDOR decouples OT and IT networks, thereby creating the secure connectivity layer that makes controlled digitalization possible in the first place. The product is CRA-compliant and developed in accordance with IEC 62443, the leading standard for OT security in industry.
Combined with IT Kombinat’s IT security solutions and consulting approach, this creates an offering that not only protects customers in KRITIS sectors but also empowers them: regulatory-compliant, technically future-proof, and with real points of contact who understand their environments.
“Collaborating with IT Kombinat is a logical step for us. Our customers expect holistic solutions rather than individual building blocks. Together, we combine IT expertise, an understanding of OT, and cybersecurity expertise. Or to put it another way: Industry doesn’t need superheroes in capes, but rather experienced experts who take responsibility together.”
Oliver Zellner, Senior Alliances & Partnerships Manager, TRIOVEGA GmbH

Both companies plan to carry out joint go-to-market activities, offer combined consulting services, and coordinate closely on customer support—particularly for operators of critical infrastructure subject to the requirements of NIS-2 and CRA.
