Manufacturing & Industrial

Manufacturing connects operational technology on the floor to the IT systems that plan, order, and report on it.

WHERE IT GETS COMPLICATED

The complexity that shapes this sector

  • Operational technology was often built to run for decades, long past typical software support windows.

  • IT and OT networks are increasingly connected without a shared security model between them.

  • Suppliers and contractors routinely need access to systems that were never designed for outside connections.

  • A production stoppage has a direct financial cost that limits the testing a line can tolerate.

HOW WE APPROACH IT

Where we focus first

  • Identity and access — who and what can reach production systems, including supplier and vendor accounts.

  • Third-party integrations — the suppliers, contractors, and platforms connected into plant systems.

  • Resilience testing — understanding failure modes without stopping a live production line.

  • Customer channels — the ordering and service systems that connect through to production planning.

STANDARDS & FRAMEWORKS THAT OFTEN APPLY

  • ISO 27001
  • IEC 62443
