Leading Manufacturer of Industrial Automation & Control Solutions

IEC 62443 gap assessment, SCADA/PLC hardening, and IT-OT segmentation enabling audit-ready Industry 4.0.

Challenge

Driving Industry 4.0 and digital transformation initiatives globally, the client needed to ensure its advanced production facilities were secure against evolving industrial threats. The organization engaged DT-CoE to assess ICS risks, establish a compliance roadmap aligned with IEC 62443, and fortify its manufacturing environments.

What we did

  • OT Environment: discovered and classified critical assets; assessed SCADA, HMIs, PLCs, engineering workstations, and industrial protocols.
  • Network Security: analyzed IT-OT architecture, firewall configurations, industrial DMZ controls, and secure remote maintenance access.
  • Governance Mapping: mapped existing policies, patch management, and incident response readiness against IEC 62443 control requirements.
  • Defined a structured remediation roadmap for compliance and Industry 4.0 enablement.

Results delivered

  • Clear path to IEC 62443 compliance and audit readiness.
  • Hardened SCADA/PLC environments with reduced lateral movement and ransomware risk.
  • Resilient foundation for smart factory and Industry 4.0 initiatives.
  • Improved protection of proprietary engineering designs and production uptime.
