Security for manufacturing organizations
Modern manufacturers run increasingly connected production environments where IT and OT converge. Intellectual property theft, production-line ransomware, and supply chain compromise are real threats when downtime costs millions per day. Engagements here scope around plant-floor safety, vendor remote-access paths, and the ERP-to-MES integrations attackers use to pivot from corporate IT into operational technology.

Key threats
The threat actors and techniques actively targeting manufacturing organizations today, drawn from current threat intelligence and our own engagement data.
Industrial Espionage
State-sponsored and competitor-driven theft of trade secrets, product designs, manufacturing processes, and proprietary formulations through targeted network intrusions.
Ransomware & Production Disruption
Attacks that encrypt both IT and OT systems simultaneously, halting production lines and causing supply chain ripple effects that cost millions per day of downtime.
OT Network Compromise
Lateral movement from corporate networks into production environments targeting PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA systems that control manufacturing processes.
Supply Chain Manipulation
Compromise of vendor management systems, ERP integrations, and supplier portals to manipulate orders, intercept shipments, or inject counterfeit components.
What we assess
The systems, trust boundaries, and data flows that define where an attacker spends their time.

- 04 — Remote Access & Vendor Connections
Production Control Systems
PLCs, HMIs, SCADA systems, and manufacturing execution systems that control and monitor production processes across facility floors.
Corporate IT & ERP
Enterprise resource planning systems, product lifecycle management tools, and corporate networks that interface with production environments.
Industrial IoT & Sensors
Connected sensors, predictive maintenance systems, and IIoT platforms that generate operational data and connect to both IT and OT networks.
Remote Access & Vendor Connections
VPN access for remote facilities, vendor maintenance portals, and equipment manufacturer support connections that bridge network boundaries.
How we help
Service lines we bring to manufacturing engagements, scoped to the threat model and compliance regime above.
Penetration Testing
Practical offensive security testing across applications, networks, cloud, AI systems, and connected devices. We find the attack paths scanners miss and explain what matters first.
Learn moreAdversary Simulations
Red-team and purple-team operations modeled around the threats most relevant to your business. We test prevention, detection, and response against realistic attack paths.
Learn moreOffensive Security Engineering
Engineering support for teams that need more than reports. We build tools, workflows, and test infrastructure that make offensive security faster and more reliable.
Learn moreSecurity Analytics
Detection engineering, threat hunting, and data pipelines that turn telemetry into decisions. We help teams find signal, reduce noise, and measure coverage.
Learn moreRegulatory landscape
Compliance frameworks we map findings against so your next audit is a formality, not a fire drill.
Other sectors we serve
Offensive security engagements across seven industries. Same operators, same discipline, threat model calibrated to each sector.
Technology
Testing SaaS platforms, APIs, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD paths, and identity systems built for fast-moving engineering teams.
Financial Services
Protecting banking platforms, fintech integrations, payment flows, trading systems, and high-value customer data.
Government
Supporting agencies and public-sector teams that need disciplined testing around sensitive systems, mandates, and mission impact.
Healthcare
Safeguarding patient data, clinical systems, healthcare networks, connected devices, and the workflows that support care delivery.
Energy & Utilities
Assessing IT, OT, ICS, SCADA, remote access, and vendor pathways that support critical energy and utility operations.
Retail & E-Commerce
Protecting storefronts, checkout flows, payment systems, customer data, loyalty platforms, and third-party commerce integrations.
