Who We Serve

Manufacturing

Cybercriminals know manufacturers can’t afford downtime and the bad guys use that knowledge to extort companies.

We Know the Challenges You're Facing

You possess extremely valuable proprietary data – from product designs, to manufacturing processes, to innovations – and cybercriminals want to stop you.

Resource constraints 

Leadership tends to prioritize manufacturing functionality, uptime, and safety over cybersecurity in which leaves a critical gap.  

Third party complexity 

Multiple vendor relationships are a reality of modern business. You need to know who has access to your system and what they're doing.

Modernization

Manufacturing systems have traditionally been isolated from external networks, creating a false sense of security that's dangerous.

Ransomware 

Downtime can rapidly become very costly and criminals know you need to retrieve data or restore critical systems fast.

Regulations

Mandates to improve cybersecurity are still evolving in many jurisdictions but risks are real regardless of the regulations.

Legacy systems

Older industrial control systems lack modern cybersecurity features and are harder to patch, which creates vulnerabilities.
