IT Services for Manufacturing FAQ
Manufacturing environments face unique cybersecurity challenges due to the convergence of traditional IT with operational technology (OT) systems like industrial controls, PLCs, and SCADA networks. These production systems often run legacy software that cannot be frequently updated, require 24/7 availability, and prioritize operational continuity above all else. Our manufacturing-specific security approach addresses these unique requirements, implementing protection measures that work within operational constraints rather than disrupting them.
Manufacturing supply chains present complex security challenges as they involve numerous third parties with varying levels of access to your systems. Our comprehensive approach includes vendor risk assessments, secure integration methods for supplier systems, continuous monitoring of supply chain connections, and implementation of zero-trust architectures. We also deploy supply chain management platforms that enhance visibility across your network and identify potential disruptions before they impact production.
The manufacturing industry faces a significant shortage of professionals with expertise in both IT and OT environments. Rather than competing to hire this scarce talent, our clients leverage our team of specialists who understand manufacturing-specific technologies. We provide both managed services that extend your capabilities and knowledge transfer programs that help your existing staff develop specialized manufacturing technology skills, addressing immediate needs while building long-term capacity.
Manufacturing companies face various regulatory requirements depending on their specific sector. These may include industrial control system security frameworks like IEC 62443, critical infrastructure protections, industry-specific standards for automotive (TISAX), medical device (FDA), or defense (CMMC) manufacturing, and data protection regulations. Our compliance experts help identify which regulations apply to your operation and implement appropriate controls that satisfy requirements without compromising productivity.
