Detailed Review
The imprint names Endian SRL at Via Ipazia 2 in Bolzano, with an entry in the Bolzano chamber of commerce. The site presents a Secure Digital Platform for IT and OT.
The vendor lists compliance pages for GDPR, IEC 62443 and NIS2.
IT and OT gateways
Endian UTM is the gateway for business environments, Endian 4i the version for industrial environments, and both run EndianOS. The same vendor offers the Connect app for remote device access.
Central management
Endian Switchboard handles network management and access with zero trust security, and Endian Network organises products across their lifecycle.
Industry pages
Solution pages cover renewable energy, critical infrastructure, machine builders and manufacturing, so the content speaks to plant operators rather than office IT only.
Limitations to Consider
Pricing is by request, and the public site gives little technical detail on throughput without the datasheets. The firm is small compared with the global brands, so check reseller coverage in your country. For pure office UTM, Securepoint has a simpler offer.
Who Should Use Endian
Industrial companies and machine builders in Europe who need firewalling and secure remote maintenance from one vendor.
