Cybersecurity for operational technology.
ICS, SCADA, DCS, and other OT environments where availability is the first principle and disruption has physical consequences.
- Scope
- ICS · SCADA · DCS · IoT
- Framework
- IEC 62443
- Method
- Passive monitoring
- Engagement
- Assessment + segmentation
What's included
Threats we routinely see in this sector
Flat OT networks
Decades-old architecture without segmentation between safety-critical and corporate.
Legacy protocol exposure
Modbus, DNP3, OPC, BACnet — unauthenticated by design, exposed to broader networks.
Vendor-engineering laptops
OEM laptops with privileged access, often without endpoint security.
USB / removable-media attack surface
Air-gapped systems aren't actually air-gapped — they're USB-gapped.
IT/OT convergence pressure
Business demand for OT data driving rushed integrations.
How it works
How we typically engage
- 01Start
Passive assessment
Network capture + asset discovery without active scanning — appropriate for fragile OT environments.
- 02Quarter 1
Segmentation + vendor access
DMZ architecture, vendor remote redesign, USB controls.
- 03Quarter 2+
OT-aware monitoring + IR
Continuous monitoring with OT-aware detections + OT-aware IR retainer.
Outcomes
What clients in this sector walk away with
- OT asset inventory
- IEC 62443-aligned zone + conduit model
- Vendor remote-access architecture
- OT-aware MDR coverage
- IR runbook for production-impact incidents
