LINES UP. THREATS OUT.

Where IT meets OT

Manufacturing environments combine traditional IT networks with operational technology — PLCs, SCADA systems, industrial control networks — that were often designed in an era when network segmentation was an afterthought. Modern threats do not respect that boundary, and the cost of an OT outage is measured in production hours, not ticket minutes.

Our manufacturing engagements focus on establishing and maintaining a defensible boundary between IT and OT, bringing the IT side up to modern security standards, and protecting the OT side without disrupting the systems that actually make the product.

What we actually do on the plant floor

We segment production networks from corporate networks with firewalls configured to allow only the specific protocols and flows the production systems require. We deploy monitoring that understands industrial protocols, not just IT ones. We work with your controls engineers rather than around them — any change to the OT environment is staged, tested, and rolled back if needed. And we plan for outages at both layers: a ransomware event on the IT side should not bring down the line, and a PLC failure on the OT side should not turn into a security incident.
