SecureOT capabilities help machine builders identify vulnerabilities, document cybersecurity posture and support compliance readiness across the machine lifecycle
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world's largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, today announced new SecureOTTM cybersecurity capabilities designed to help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) simplify compliance efforts, strengthen secure-by-design practices and better manage cybersecurity risks throughout the machine lifecycle.
Cybersecurity regulations, such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and Machinery Regulation (MR), are moving toward key compliance deadlines in 2026 and 2027. As these regulations reshape requirements for machine builders, OEMs face increasing pressure to demonstrate cybersecurity readiness, maintain detailed documentation and provide ongoing support for deployed assets. According to Rockwell's OEM Advantage Playbook findings, that pressure is being felt across the market: Nearly two in five OEMs are already navigating evolving compliance requirements, while 63% expect cyber risks to continue. Despite this, many lack visibility into their current readiness and the steps needed to address them. Rockwell's SecureOT capabilities help address these challenges by equipping OEMs with proactive cybersecurity management and making regulatory readiness a more repeatable, scalable process.
Rockwell expanded SecureOT with OEM-focused capabilities including cybersecurity assessments, advisory services, machine-level visibility, vulnerability identification and compliance reporting to help machine builders navigate evolving requirements. Powered by SecureOTTM Platform, these capabilities enable organizations to identify vulnerabilities, document cybersecurity posture and support regulatory readiness throughout the machine lifecycle.
By combining technology, services and industrial cybersecurity expertise, SecureOT helps OEMs move from reactive compliance activities to a more proactive and scalable approach to managing cybersecurity risk. Key capabilities include:
- Machine-level asset visibility with detailed inventories of hardware, software and firmware
- Vulnerability identification to help uncover cybersecurity risks that may affect machine security and compliance
- Exportable compliance reports that support customer transparency, audit preparation and regulatory documentation requirements
- Cybersecurity assessments and advisory services to help identify gaps, establish governance processes and align with standards such as IEC 62443
- Continuous monitoring to maintain visibility into newly disclosed vulnerabilities, support ongoing risk management and help satisfy post-deployment cybersecurity obligations
"OEMs are facing unprecedented pressure to demonstrate cybersecurity readiness while continuing to innovate and deliver high-quality machines on schedule," said Rick Kaun, global director of cybersecurity services at Rockwell Automation. "By combining SecureOT technology, advisory services and Rockwell Automation's industrial expertise, we help OEMs make cybersecurity a strategic business advantage rather than a compliance exercise."

Rockwell Automation Introduces SecureOT Capabilities to Help OEMs Address Emerging Cybersecurity Regulations
The World's Most Celebrated Art Collective Will Unveil a New Exhibition in its Permanent U.S. Home When it Opens in Anaheim, California in 2030
ANAHEIM, Calif., Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- teamLab, the internationally celebrated art collective known for creating immersive environments that merge the boundaries between art, technology, nature, and guest experience, today announced plans to open its first permanent museum in the United States at OCVIBE, the 100-acre sports, entertainment, and arts district currently under construction in Southern California. Spanning approximately 110,000 square feet, the purpose-built museum will be designed around teamLab's immersive art experience, with architecture by smith-clementi.
"It is with great joy that we announce the opening of teamLab's first major museum in North America, located at OCVIBE in Anaheim," said Toshiyuki Inoko, Founder of teamLab. "For teamLab, through art, we seek to explore what perception is and what existence is. The artworks change with the presence of people, making them an integral part of the art itself. People immerse themselves with their entire bodies, transcending the boundaries between themselves, the artworks, and the world around them, becoming part of a borderless continuity."
"At OCVIBE, where people gather and where sports, music, and culture come together, visitors share the same space, perceive the world anew through their bodies, and share that experience with others. Here, we aim to bring to life this very experience that we continuously strive to create through our art," added Inoko.
The teamLab museum will be an integral part of OCVIBE's master plan, joining a deliberately curated mix of entertainment, dining, hospitality, and public spaces. Rather than treating art as an amenity, OCVIBE is making it central to the district's experience, woven into its architecture, landscape, and public realm, which has been designed to encourage continual exploration and outdoor walkability.
"From the outset, our vision for OCVIBE has been to create more than a collection of buildings and venues. We're building a connected, vibrant district where architecture, public spaces, art and entertainment come together to create an experience that is greater than the sum of its parts," said Dan Young, Executive Director of Development at OCVIBE. "Bringing teamLab to OCVIBE reflects the importance we've placed on integrating arts and culture into the district's master plan. It adds an entirely new dimension to what people can experience here in Anaheim, while helping establish OCVIBE as a cultural destination for California and the U.S."
Today's announcement not only establishes a permanent U.S. home for teamLab in California, but it also gives art lovers across the U.S. ongoing access to a groundbreaking cultural experience that has historically required traveling abroad, or, catching a limited exhibition at one of the world's leading arts and cultural institutions.
At OCVIBE, teamLab will be part of a vibrant, interconnected district that brings together chef-driven dining, live music and entertainment, expansive parks and public spaces, the nation's largest outdoor public art gallery, and year-round programming. Rather than visiting a stand-alone exhibition, guests will have opportunities to experience teamLab as part of a full day or extended stay in Anaheim. Once fully realized, this unique mix of arts, culture and entertainment will give visitors more reasons to stay longer, explore Anaheim's many attractions, and support businesses throughout the community.
"teamLab choosing Anaheim for its first permanent U.S. home is a powerful statement about where our destination is headed," said Mike Waterman, President & CEO of Visit Anaheim. "Anaheim has always been a place where people come to experience something they can't find anywhere else, and teamLab will expand our appeal to new audiences from around the world. Experiences like this inspire longer stays, repeat visits, and even greater exploration of everything Anaheim has to offer."
Designing Space for teamLab
Designed by smith-clementi, OCVIBE's master planners, the museum is conceived as a distinctive sculptural presence within the district. Anchoring one end of OCVIBE, and very visible from the freeway, the building is designed to reveal itself differently as visitors approach and move around it, whether by car or on foot. With the museum's immersive galleries requiring a largely windowless environment, smith-clementi approached the exterior as a shimmering cloak enveloping the darkened spaces within. The textured exterior draws on natural forms, with a pattern that evokes scales and movement, while its surface responds to changing sunlight, subtly shifting in color and appearance throughout the day.
The design also creates a deliberate dialogue with the neighboring ARTIC (Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center) and OCVIBE's park landscape. Where ARTIC is transparent and illuminated from within, the museum is conceived as its inverse: a solid, colorful presence that comes alive in daylight while allowing ARTIC's illuminated form to take prominence after dusk. From the park and ARTIC, the museum forms a sculptural backdrop to the landscape, visually extending the park and giving this part of OCVIBE a distinct architectural identity.
"Designing teamLab's permanent U.S. home let us think about their building as a reflection of their immersive experiences, often depicting the beauty of movement in nature," said Julie Smith-Clementi of smith-clementi. "There's a feeling of transformation important to the exterior. While buildings are normally fixed in place, the environment can still be leveraged into the script. This building feels different depending on the direction or pace of your approach. The time of day, or movement of clouds participates in rendering its iridescent cloak, enriching what you think you see. We want the design to leave room for imagination and discovery and, like in nature, to offer something new with each visit."
LPA is working with smith-clementi as the Architect of Record and is working directly with teamLab on the exhibitions for the OCVIBE museum.
Opening the First Phase of OCVIBE in 2027
OCVIBE will welcome its first guests in March 2027 when the 5,000-person capacity concert hall opens, followed by Katella Commons, the 50,000-square-foot chef-driven market hall. Later in the year, The Weave, the district's commercial office building, and home to co-working operator Kiln, will open along with the first phase of the district's restaurants, public art program, and public spaces.
