Keep the line running and the designs yours,
on both sides of the firewall.
Manufacturers are a favourite ransomware target and a steady target for IP theft. We monitor IT and plant networks around the clock and help you contain an attack without stopping production.
What stops production lines.
Downtime and stolen designs are the two outcomes attackers count on.
Ransomware that halts production
Groups encrypt ERP, MES and plant systems because every hour offline costs output. Many stop the line as a precaution even when OT is untouched.
Intellectual property theft
Designs, formulations and process data are stolen in long, quiet campaigns that can sit in a network for months.
IT to OT pivot
A phishing email on the corporate side can reach PLCs and HMIs when segmentation between the office and the plant floor is thin.
Legacy, unpatchable systems
Controllers and engineering workstations often run end-of-life software that cannot be patched without downtime.
Supplier and integrator access
Machine builders and integrators keep remote access to equipment, and those connections are rarely monitored.
The requirements customers and regulators set.
Regional rules first, then the frameworks that apply when you supply US defence or international OEMs.
| Framework | Who it applies to | What we help with |
|---|---|---|
| NCA Operational Technology Cybersecurity Controls (OTCC) | Saudi manufacturers within critical national infrastructure that run industrial control systems | OT gap assessment, segmentation review and monitoring |
| UAE PDPL, Saudi PDPL and other national data protection laws | Manufacturers handling personal data of employees and customers | Breach investigation and documented incident records |
| IEC 62443 | Plant operators, system integrators and component suppliers | Zone and conduit design, maturity assessment and segmentation validation |
| CMMC | Suppliers to the US Department of Defense handling federal contract information or controlled unclassified information | Readiness assessment, gap remediation and evidence preparation |
| ISO 27001 customer requirements | Suppliers whose OEM customers require certified security management | Gap assessment and control evidence through Forseti |
Security that respects production windows.
Plant floor assessment
We review segmentation between IT and OT, the DMZ, historians and engineering workstations against the Purdue model.
Passive OT visibility
Asset inventory and anomaly detection on industrial protocols, with no active scanning that could disturb a running line.
IP-centric data protection
Classify your most valuable designs and process data, then monitor and control where it goes.
How we help manufacturers.
MSOC
Autonomous detection and response across corporate and plant networks, with guardrails for production systems.
Learn more →OT & ICS security
Assessment, segmentation and monitoring for PLCs, HMIs, SCADA and the systems that bridge IT and OT.
Learn more →Ransomware readiness
Find out whether you could recover production after an attack, and fix what would stop you.
Learn more →Data loss prevention
Protect design files, formulations and process data from insiders and outside attackers.
Learn more →Supply chain & third-party risk
Assess the integrators, machine builders and suppliers with access to your network.
Learn more →IR retainer
Pre-agreed terms and guaranteed response from four hours down to one, including OT-aware containment and recovery.

We cannot take the line down for security work.
You will not have to. OT monitoring is passive, testing is scheduled around production windows, and response actions on plant systems wait for your sign-off.
Our OT network is separate from IT.
Often it is less separate than it looks: remote vendor access, shared credentials and historians that talk both ways. An assessment shows you which paths exist.
A customer is asking for CMMC or IEC 62443. Where do we start?
With a gap assessment against the framework they named. You get a prioritized roadmap and, through Forseti, the evidence to show progress.
