SOLUTIONS FOR MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
Smart factories, supply chains, and industrial control systems are now firmly in attackers' crosshairs, and a single intrusion can halt a production line for days.
Start AssessmentSecuring manufacturing means keeping production lines running while preventing IP theft and operational disruption. It requires careful network segmentation between corporate IT and plant OT, specialized testing of legacy industrial protocols, and an incident response plan that accounts for systems that can't simply be rebooted.
Downtime Pays the Ransom
IT and OT have converged faster than security has caught up, exposing decades-old industrial systems to internet-borne threats. Ransomware crews target manufacturers specifically because the per-hour cost of an idle plant makes the ransom math attractive.
The Most-Attacked Industry
Manufacturing has held the top spot in IBM's X-Force threat report for four consecutive years, accounting for roughly 1 in 4 incidents observed across all sectors.
Crippling Downtime Economics
An hour of unplanned plant downtime can cost six- to seven-figures. Average ransomware recovery now stretches to 22 days, putting both revenue and customer commitments at risk.
Legacy OT, No Patch Window
PLCs, SCADA systems, and HMIs that run critical processes were never designed for hostile networks, and most cannot be patched, segmented, or rebooted without halting production.
Regulatory Landscape - India
Compliance built for Indian manufacturing
We align every engagement to the regulations that actually apply to your sector in India, so your security program satisfies auditors and regulators, not just a checklist.
- 01
IEC 62443
The global standard for industrial automation and control system (IACS) security, the baseline we test OT and SCADA environments against.
- 02
CERT-In Directions (2022)
Mandatory 6-hour incident reporting and log retention apply to manufacturers operating IT and OT systems in India.
- 03
NCIIPC (for critical sectors)
Manufacturers designated as Critical Information Infrastructure fall under NCIIPC oversight, requiring stronger controls and reporting.
- 04
DPDP Act, 2023
Employee and customer personal data held by manufacturers is covered by India's data protection law.
03 - How We Help
Three services that matter most
Out of our 28 service offerings, these are the ones we’d recommend a manufacturing team start with.
- 01
IoT & OT Security Testing
Specialized assessments for industrial control systems, PLCs, SCADA, and connected plant equipment, covering firmware, protocols, and physical security.
- 02
Network Pentesting
End-to-end network assessments that validate IT/OT segmentation, expose lateral movement paths, and simulate real attacker pathways into the plant floor.
- 03
Incident Response & Forensics
Rapid containment of ransomware and intrusion events, forensic investigation, and recovery planning that prioritizes uptime of production systems.
Common Questions
Manufacturing has topped IBM X-Force's threat report for four consecutive years, accounting for roughly 1 in 4 incidents across all sectors, largely because ransomware crews know that idle production lines create pressure to pay quickly.
