Industrial Code Lifecycle Management
Monitor, approve, back up, audit, and collaborate on industrial code with Copia.
An Increasingly Complex OT Environment
49% of organizations experienced 12+ hours of downtime due to a cyberattack.
In today's complex OT landscape, post-incident resiliency is just as vital as prevention. As networked PLCs increase your attack vulnerability, recovery speed is what ultimately secures your uptime.
Whether it's a human error or targeted cyberattack, Copia provides your first layer of resiliency. By automating device backups across multi-vendor environments, Copia helps you restore prior backups quickly to keep operations running.
Industrial Code Lifecycle Management: The Foundation of OT Resiliency and Governance
Copia's cloud-based industrial code lifecycle management (ICLM) platform brings speed, agility, and compliance to the OT ecosystem.
Copia's Git-based Source Control solution is purpose-built for automation and the foundation of ICLM. It gives you full control and visibility of your PLC, HMI, and robot code with versioning and real-time collaboration at every lifecycle stage from design and development through maintenance and sustainment.
Copia's DeviceLink™ enables scheduled and on-demand backups of your devices and supports secure, centralized storage of versioned backups within a distributed system to support rapid recovery. Each backup is traceable and compliant with industry standards so you always have a reliable copy of your critical device code.
Copia Copilot gives you the intelligence and automation you need to move faster and work smarter. Seamlessly integrated with Source Control and DeviceLink, Copia Copilot provides multi-vendor support and direct connection to your existing industrial workflows.
The code lifecycle runs from design and development, through commissioning and retrofitting, to maintenance and sustainment — with backup and disaster recovery spanning all three stages.
Value-Driving Capabilities of Industrial Code Lifecycle Management (ICLM)
Disaster Recovery & Prevention — DeviceLink's automated and on-demand backups protect PLCs, HMIs, and robots from code loss, corruption, and failed changes. When incidents occur, teams can quickly retrieve a previous version, enabling faster restoration and minimizing production impact.
Real Time Code Collaboration — Copia's intelligent branching and merging allows multiple engineers to collaborate on the same project simultaneously without the risk of file conflicts or overwrites. With support for offline workflows and secure, permission-based sharing, teams can work with maximum flexibility to ensure seamless project alignment and secure handoffs.
Audit & Compliance Readiness — Copia generates change logs and backup reports to support traceability required for frameworks like NIS2, NERC CIP, and IEC 62443. Strengthen your governance with centralized oversight of modifications and devices across your entire enterprise.
Code Integrity & Site Performance — Copia provides a complete version history, enabling faster troubleshooting and data-driven decision making. By identifying exactly who made an approved change and when, you fortify OT cybersecurity and ensure code integrity at scale.
The Missing Layer in OT Cybersecurity
While IT has long enjoyed mature disaster recovery, OT's most critical asset — automation code — has historically lacked the same level of protection.
Copia bridges this gap. Unlike IT tools designed for servers, Copia integrates directly with industrial control systems like Siemens, Rockwell, and Schneider.
By sitting at the top of the OT stack, it complements your existing network segmentation and asset management tools to deliver a comprehensive security posture.
When incidents strike, Copia enables the rapid restoration of PLCs, HMIs, and robots to any previous code state ensuring operational continuity.
The operational technology stack, from the top down: backup and disaster recovery (Copia); asset management and security; network segmentation; and IoT, factories, and devices.
