Manufacturing
Manufacturing & OT
Plant-floor networks, IT/OT segmentation, and a recovery plan that does not treat a line stoppage as a helpdesk ticket.
The problem as it shows up
Plants still run controllers, historians, and vendor jump boxes that were never designed for a flat corporate LAN. A ransomware event or a well-meant Windows update can stop a line. IT and OT teams speak different languages and share too much copper.
How we staff it
We map the plant, not the org chart. Purdue-informed segmentation, jump hosts, and monitored conduits replace hope. IT patches on a cadence that manufacturing can live with. Wireless and WAN are designed for the floor, the warehouse, and the office as separate products that happen to share a provider.
What good looks like
- Documented OT/IT boundary and monitored conduits
- Patch windows that operations will actually approve
- Remote-vendor access that can be revoked in minutes
- A recovery story for the plant, not only for email

A short conversation is enough to know whether we are the right ally. No license dump. No theater.
