IT-OT Security

Manufacturing Cybersecurity & OT Risk Assessment

Leading Heavy Engineering & Industrial Components Manufacturer

Risk-based IT-OT security assessment improving visibility, ransomware resilience, and production network protection.

Challenge

Operating multiple production facilities, the client was advancing a digital transformation journey that increasingly connected manufacturing systems, engineering environments, ERP platforms, and supplier ecosystems. Leadership required a deep understanding of cyber risks affecting both business operations and critical production environments to maintain continuity.

What we did

  • Enterprise Security: evaluated IAM, endpoint security posture, privileged access controls, and security monitoring.
  • Operational Technology (OT): reviewed production networks, ICS, engineering workstations, and remote maintenance mechanisms.
  • Ransomware Resilience: assessed critical system recovery, backup integrity, incident response preparedness, and segmentation effectiveness.
  • Supply Chain Risk: evaluated third-party access controls, contractor practices, and external maintenance governance.

Results delivered

  • Increased operational resilience and improved ransomware recovery preparedness.
  • Enhanced manufacturing security across interconnected production environments.
  • Strategic governance with cybersecurity risk ownership across business functions.
  • Phased, practical cybersecurity improvement roadmap for production continuity.
