Distribution Report #48731

Taipei, Taiwan, 3rd Sep 2026 -TXOne Networks, a leader in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) security, today launched its next-generation Edge Networking Solution at flagship industry event this September: SEMICON Taiwan, September 2 to 4 in Taipei. The release adds four AI-powered capabilities across TXOne's Discover, Assess, and Protect framework, and introduces vEdgeIPS Pro, TXOne's first virtual appliance line, extending Edge's inline, fail-safe protection from physical hardware to virtualized OT infrastructure.

Semiconductor fabs and discrete manufacturing plants alike run valuable production lines on process tools that can never be patched, alongside newer systems that increasingly connect back to the corporate network. Only 1 in 8 organizations report full visibility into the ICS Kill Chain, leaving 75% of organizations with a gap between detection and containment of more than 6 hours (SANS 2025 State of ICS/OT Security Survey). Given that attacks such as LockBit ransomware can execute in ~4 minutes (Splunk SURGe, 2022), this gap can lead directly to a full plant shutdown. SEMICON Taiwan brings TXOne directly to a community carrying that same risk, one in semiconductor manufacturing, the other across discrete and process automation broadly.

“Semiconductor fabs and discrete manufacturing plants run some of the most valuable and most exposed production networks anywhere, full of equipment that will never see another security patch,” said Dr. Terence Liu, Chief Executive Officer of TXOne Networks. “This release puts AI to work at every stage of Edge: it finds legacy assets no signature ever could, writes and tunes security policy in hours instead of weeks, and turns a flood of alerts into one prioritized next step. We are introducing it everywhere our customers already are.”

Four AI Pillars, One Closed Loop

Most security tools simply generate alerts and stop there. TXOne developed four capabilities that connect throughout the Discover, Assess, and Protect cycle. This interconnected approach ensures that protection builds upon itself, creating a cumulative defense rather than just accumulating dashboards.

• Asset Intelligence: AI-based OS fingerprinting identifies legacy and embedded devices that signature-only tools miss, then maps them automatically to known vulnerabilities, with online, offline, and air-gapped update support.
• Policy Automation: AI-powered rule learning builds, aggregates, and tunes security policy automatically, cutting deployment effort by more than 90% and compressing rollout from weeks to hours without losing coverage or accuracy.
• Threat Alert Visibility: An AI-enhanced alert engine groups events by real-world severity, automatically builds the attack chain from detection through vulnerability match to response, and maps every affected asset connection, turning forensics from hours and informational into seconds and actionable.
• OT Integration: A built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) Service and RESTful APIs let authorized AI agents query and act on Edge data in plain language, inside EdgeOne's own security perimeter.

The loop closes where it starts: attack-chain findings from Threat Alert Visibility feed back into Asset Intelligence and Policy Automation, sharpening the system continuously, helping prevent incidents before they begin.

The release also extends support for manufacturers working toward industry standards such as SEMI E187, the semiconductor industry's fab equipment cybersecurity specification, pairing network segmentation, OT protocol trust lists, and virtual patching with fail-safe design built in.

One Architecture, Physical or Virtual

Edge already spans rugged, small-form-factor appliances, high-port-density and 10-gigabit rack systems, EdgeFire industrial firewalls, and EdgeOne central management on-premises or in the cloud. This release adds vEdgeIPS Pro, bringing that same inline protection into virtualized environments for the first time, so a plant running virtualized control systems gets the same security architecture as one running physical hardware, sized from a single virtual machine to a full production cluster.

“Every capability in this release was built for the plant floor: brownfield assets, air-gapped networks, and zero tolerance for downtime,” said Ryan Lung, Director of Network Defense Solution at TXOne Networks. “Fail-safe design means security never gets in the way of production. Protection is proactive, policy decisions are explainable, and value shows up within the first hour of deployment.”

Availability

The AI-powered Edge Networking Solution, including vEdgeIPS Pro, will be available worldwide in September 2026 through TXOne Networks and its global partner network. More information: www.txone.com.
