Manufacturing
OT Meets IT. Risk Lives at the Boundary.
The convergence of operational technology and corporate IT has created a new attack surface that most manufacturers aren't ready for. Production downtime from a cyberattack costs far more per hour than any security investment.
What Risks Matter Most
in Your Industry?
OT/IT Convergence Risk
Internet-connected PLCs, SCADA systems, and industrial IoT create persistent footholds for attackers targeting production networks.
Intellectual Property Theft
Trade secrets, product designs, and manufacturing processes are high-value targets for nation-state and competitor espionage.
Production Downtime
Ransomware that reaches OT networks can halt production for weeks. The hourly cost of downtime dwarfs the ransom demand.
Supply Chain Compromise
Supplier portals, EDI connections, and contract manufacturer access create third-party risk that's hard to see and harder to control.
CMMC Compliance
Defense contractors face CMMC requirements. Failure to meet them means losing DoD contracts — regardless of size.
Remote Monitoring & Access
Remote OT monitoring by vendors and engineers creates privileged access paths that are frequently exploited.
How APM IT Reduces
Your Risk
OT/IT Network Segmentation
Isolate production networks from corporate IT — limiting lateral movement and protecting operational systems from IT-borne threats.
Industrial Identity & Access
Vendor remote access management, just-in-time privileged access, and MFA for all production system administration.
IP Protection & DLP
Data loss prevention controls to detect and block exfiltration of design files, trade secrets, and manufacturing processes.
CMMC Assessment & Readiness
Gap assessment and control implementation aligned to CMMC Level 2 requirements for DoD supply chain participation.
OT Incident Response
Incident response planning that accounts for OT recovery complexity — minimizing production downtime during a cyber event.
Asset Discovery & Monitoring
Complete inventory and continuous monitoring of OT/IT assets — including devices that IT never knew were network-connected.
What Happens in the
First 30–60 Days?
OT/IT Asset Discovery
Complete network scan and asset inventory across both corporate IT and OT environments. Identify all internet-facing systems.
Segmentation & Isolation
Implement network segmentation between OT and IT, restrict lateral movement, and secure remote access paths.
Monitoring & Response
Deploy OT-aware monitoring, establish incident response procedures for production network events.
IP Protection & Documentation
DLP controls for design files, CMMC gap report, and executive risk summary with remediation roadmap.
