Operational technology cyber security

Stay secure. Stay productive

Making your operational technology (OT) more resilient to security threats

Cyber attacks on OT are more complex and more prevalent than ever before. Malicious actors are smarter and more determined to bring operational infrastructure to its knees - from infecting engineering and manufacturing plants with ransomware, to hacking the systems that run public utilities. No matter which industry you’re in, if you have OT, these kinds of threats pose a fundamental risk - to you, your customers and the communities you’re part of.

We’re here to help you get ahead of the threats, so you can keep your operations running and stay productive. Our teams help organisations of all sizes, in every industry to protect their operational assets and systems, and strengthen their information security for greater resilience in the future.

Key capabilities

Security Labs

We’ll play the bad guys, so the real ones don’t get to you

Our ethical hackers and technicians are constantly testing and experimenting, replicating threats and staying ahead of the latest vulnerabilities. And using our industry leading labs, we can replicate your environment to help you understand how and what might happen in the event of an attack.

Threat detection and research

Keeping you protected from the latest threats

Our global network of threat detection analysts are on the lookout for the latest malware, ransomware and other cyber risks. We’ll keep you protected as threats evolve.

Technology partnerships

Bringing you the best systems on the market

We’ve formed partnerships with world-leading cyber security technology companies, such as Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks and Tanium. So you can be confident that our work together is built on the very best systems available today.

Why choose us?

The business view of operational technology resilience

What sets us apart is that we understand what matters most to you and your sector. We work with organisations of all sizes, in all industries - from oil and gas to shipping; and from public utilities to manufacturing. We have the insight to help you prioritise and order your efforts, so you can focus limited resources on what’s strategically and operationally important.

You might have hundreds of production sites at risk that you could protect. But with limited money and time, are they all equal? Where should you start? What’s most vital to secure?

You might have multiple manufacturing plants that need updating, but how do you roll out an improvement plan without disrupting your productivity? Is it better to set the ‘gold standard’ at one or two sites, then replicate that blueprint in a controlled way elsewhere?

Our dedicated team of OT cyber security experts will help you go beyond seeing what you could do, to helping you focus on what you should do. We’ll combine operational technology capabilities with industry and business insight to help you assess what’s most important - then build a plan that sets you up for success.
