Manufacturing & Industrial Operations

Keeping production running and resilient

Manufacturers operate at the intersection of legacy OT, modern IT, and relentless uptime pressure. We help you reduce cyber risk without disrupting the lines that keep the business running.

Industry Challenges

Aging control systems that were never designed to be networked
Flat networks where IT and OT freely intermingle
Limited visibility into what is connected to the plant floor
Third-party and vendor remote access into production systems
Lean teams with little dedicated OT security expertise

Most Common Cybersecurity Failures

  • Unsegmented networks that let threats move from email to PLCs
  • Unmanaged remote access for integrators and OEMs
  • Unpatched, end-of-life engineering workstations
  • No asset inventory for OT, so risk cannot be measured
  • IT monitoring tools that are blind to industrial protocols

Operational & Financial Impact

Production downtime

Unplanned stoppages can cost six to seven figures per day

Safety exposure

Compromised control or safety systems put people at risk

Customer trust

Failed customer security audits can jeopardize contracts

Recovery cost

OT recovery is slower and costlier than typical IT incidents
