BUFFALO GROVE, IL and MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, Mar 26, 2026 – Siemens Smart Infrastructure has partnered with Viakoo to offer the Viakoo Action Platform to its customers. The agreement enables Siemens to deliver an automated solution to analyze, manage, and secure fleets of Internet of Things (IoT) and Operational Technology (OT) devices. The platform supports cyber hygiene and helps organizations meet compliance requirements.
Enterprises are deploying OT and IoT devices, increasing cyber risk, with estimates of five to ten OT/IoT devices per employee. Many of these systems lack IT-level security management standards, making them targets for ransomware and data theft. The Viakoo Action Platform addresses this gap by helping Siemens customers apply security standards across OT/IoT, and IT environments.
Viakoo’s cloud-based platform automates device management and tracks vulnerabilities and compliance across physical security and connected systems. It supports firmware updates, certificate management (e.g., 802.1x ) and password enforcement, with continuous operational notifications. The platform’s vendor-agnostic, agentless design simplifies management of multi-vendor device fleets, reduces manual effort, and adheres to service level agreements.
“In today’s interconnected world, securing IoT and OT devices is paramount for maintaining operational integrity and mitigating cyber risks,” said Rich Reidy, US security segment head of the buildings business at Siemens Smart Infrastructure USA. “Together with Viakoo, this joint effort underscores our dedication to expanding the Siemens Connect Ecosystem program by delivering top-tier security service. Viakoo’s advanced platform and flexible technology align perfectly with our goal of offering cutting-edge, adaptable services that empower our customers to achieve robust security posture and compliance across their physical security infrastructure.”
The Viakoo Action Platform supports organizations managing large, distributed security device fleets, strict compliance requirements, and legacy or multi-vendor systems. Siemens is adding the platform to its portfolio to strengthen managed services, support recurring revenue, and improve customer retention by addressing OT/IoT security needs.
“We are thrilled to join forces with Siemens, a global technology leader committed to innovation and excellence,” said Bud Broomhead, CEO and Founder at Viakoo. “This collaboration allows us to extend the reach of the Viakoo Action Platform, helping more enterprises secure their IoT and OT environments, automate critical cyber hygiene tasks, and ensure continuous compliance. Together, we will empower organizations to unlock the full potential of their connected devices without compromising security.”
