Operational Technology Services

Our OT Security Services provide tailored solutions to protect OT environments. From identifying vulnerabilities and network segmentation to governance development, we help organizations through strategic planning to enhance their security architecture, minimize risks and meet regulatory requirements.

In today’s digitized industrial landscape, securing Operational Technology (OT) environments is more important than ever. As industrial cybersecurity threats evolve and regulatory requirements become more stringent, businesses must proactively address risk, enhance resilience and ensure the protection and integrity of their manufacturing operations. Our Operational Technology Security Services provide end-to-end solutions tailored to the unique challenges of manufacturing and industrial environments, helping organizations minimize risk and strengthen their security posture.

OT Security assessment

  • Gap assessment: Analyze current security measures against industry best practices and regulatory requirements to identify gaps and associated risks
  • Vulnerability assessment: Conduct thorough scans and assessments of OT environments to identify vulnerabilities in devices, systems and networks
  • Penetration testing: Conduct penetration testing of OT and ISC environments to simulate real-world cyberattacks and identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited

OT Security strategic planning

  • Developing a strategic roadmap: Create a comprehensive strategy and roadmap for OT Security transformation that is aligned with business objectives and risk appetite and that addresses key security initiatives
  • Governance and policy development: Establish governance frameworks and security policies specific to OT environments such as IEC 62443 and NIST Cybersecurity Framework for OT
  • OT Security maturity improvement: Focus on maturity improvement through continuous assessment and enhancement of security capabilities

Network architecture design

  • Architecture assessment: Assess current OT network security architecture and infrastructure to ensure scalability, resilience and security
  • Design and implementation planning: Develop customized network architectures and OT security solutions that integrate security best practices while supporting operational requirements
  • Segmentation and zoning: Implement network segmentation strategies to isolate critical assets and reduce the attack surface for industrial cybersecurity environments

Managed security services

  • Deployment and configuration: Installation and configuration of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) solutions tailored to the monitoring of industrial network security and the detection of unauthorized activities
  • Real-time monitoring and analysis: Continuous monitoring of network traffic and system logs to detect potential security incidents or anomalies
  • Incident response: Identifying and responding to cybersecurity incidents from analysis, through containment and remediation as well as root cause analysis
  • Optimizing performance: Fine tuning IDS configurations at sites and rule sets to improve detection accuracy while minimizing false positives

In what ways has the evolution of the manufacturing landscape increased the importance of OT security?
