Manufacturing
When the line stops, revenue stops. Security keeps production running.
The challenge
Manufacturers face a convergence crisis: OT networks that were built for reliability, not security, are being connected to IT networks for efficiency. The result is a blast radius that stretches from the CFOs laptop to the PLC on the factory floor. CMMC compliance is now mandatory for defence contractors, and insurance carriers are demanding proof of basic controls before renewing. Most manufacturers have no inventory of their OT assets, no visibility into industrial control traffic, and no incident response plan that covers production-impacting events.
Top risks
- ! OT/IT convergence creating unmonitored lateral movement paths
- ! Ransomware disrupting production lines and supply chains
- ! CMMC non-compliance blocking defence contracts
- ! Unpatched industrial control systems with known vulnerabilities
- ! Insufficient backup and recovery procedures for production-critical systems
Our approach
Cynteri starts with discovery: every asset on the network, including OT, is catalogued and mapped. We segment OT from IT with Palo Alto or Fortinet firewalls, deploy EDR on all engineering workstations, and implement immutable backups with monthly restore drills that include production systems. CMMC readiness is built step by step, with evidence collected continuously. Our SOC monitors both IT alerts and anomalous OT behaviour, giving you one pane of glass for the entire operation.
Key services for Manufacturing
OT/IT network segmentation, industrial control system isolation, ZTNA deployment, and quarterly topology reviews.
EDR on engineering workstations, DNS filtering, and 24/7 SOC monitoring covering both IT and OT environments.
CMMC readiness roadmap, continuous evidence collection, and auditor liaison for certification.
Immutable off-site backups for IT and OT systems, monthly restore drills, and annual full-failover exercises.
