Tony was fantastic. He is knowledgeable and friendly. He came into class and let me test the new cord before he left. It worked. I was so happy that he got one for our room. I prefer to use the cord everyday (rather than the screen share option). Thank you.
Everything You Need to Know About ICS & OT Cybersecurity
- ICS and OT systems are often built on legacy technology that wasn’t designed with modern cybersecurity in mind. They prioritize uptime and physical safety, which can limit updates, patches, and segmentation, making them ideal targets for threat actors seeking to disrupt operations or cause damage.
- Our team implements tailored strategies like network segmentation, OT-specific threat detection, and role-based access control. These solutions are deployed with minimal operational impact, ensuring your production line stays safe and running while improving cyber resilience.
- Yes. We specialize in protecting legacy and hybrid environments. Our approach includes deploying protocol-aware monitoring tools and lightweight controls that work seamlessly across aging infrastructure, SCADA, PLCs, and modern systems.
- Key threats include unpatched vulnerabilities, insecure remote access, lateral movement from IT networks, and malicious insider activity. Without proper segmentation and monitoring, attackers can gain access to critical control systems unnoticed.
- Absolutely. We deploy OT-native monitoring tools that understand ICS protocols like Modbus, DNP3, and OPC. These tools detect abnormal behavior in real time and integrate with your broader security stack for unified threat visibility.
- It starts with a tailored cyber risk assessment. We evaluate your ICS architecture, identify vulnerabilities, and create a step-by-step roadmap for securing your OT environment, without disrupting your business.
