Why Industrial Cyber Security Matters? 


In today’s digital landscape, industrial environments face unique cyber Security challenges that demand specialized solutions. From complex legacy infrastructure to an increasing number of IoT devices, these challenges expose critical systems to rising threats.

Without robust security, operational downtime, data breaches, and costly disruptions become real risks.

Here are some important facts that illustrate how cyber security threats are commonly underestimated in industrial settings:

  • Over 60% of cyberattacks in industrial environments go undetected, leaving vulnerabilities open to exploitation and increasing the likelihood of costly incidents;
  • 75% of executives report that their infrastructure is too complex to fully secure, making it difficult to monitor and protect critical assets effectively;
  • Ransomware-as-a-service has become a common attack method, accounting for two-thirds of attacks on industrial systems, exploiting unpatched legacy infrastructure and limited threat detection capabilities.

Our cyber security solutions provide the visibility, control, and expertise to protect your operational technology, helping you stay secure, compliant, and resilient in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.



Our Approach to Cyber Security: A Layered Defense Strategy


Our solutions offer a multi-layered defense strategy that aligns with industry standards and best practices, ensuring your operational technology (OT) infrastructure remains resilient against emerging threats.



Asset Inventory & Risk Assessment

Network Segmentation & Secure Access

Continuous Threat Monitoring

 

Incident Response & Recovery

Ongoing Risk Management




NIST Cyber Security Framework for Full-Spectrum Protection



We map our services to the NIST Cyber Security Framework, a globally recognized standard for industrial security. This framework covers five essential functions to create a robust cyber security foundation, as outlined below:


  • IDENTIFY: Locate and assess vulnerabilities in your OT systems, data, and applications.
  • PROTECT: Implement secure access, patch management, and perimeter defenses.
  • DETECT: Monitor for suspicious activity with continuous threat detection across OT assets.
  • RESPOND: Quickly contain incidents with defined response plans and protocols.
  • RECOVER: Minimize downtime and plan for resilience with tailored recovery strategies.

 

 


Our Solutions Capabilities


Our solutions are designed to address every aspect of modern industrial cyber security best practices to protect your manufacturing operations.



  • Risk Assessments: Identify critical vulnerabilities across OT and IT systems with expert assessments;
  • Network Segmentation: Implement firewalls, IDMZs, and network zones to protect your critical assets;
  • Endpoint Protection: Guard your devices against malware and cyber threats with proactive endpoint security;
  • Vulnerability Management: Identify, prioritize, and mitigate risks with regular vulnerability checks;
  • Incident Response: Quickly contain and address threats with prepared response plans and expert support;
  • Threat Detection: 24/7 monitoring for unusual activity to detect threats in real-time;
  • Compliance Support: Align with industry standards like IEC 62443 and NIST to maintain regulatory compliance.





 


How It Works
