OT & Industrial IT

Strategic OT Network Services: Bridging the Gap from Enterprise to Edge.

High-availability infrastructure designed to prevent multimillion-dollar production losses and secure the future of industrial automation.

Network Architecture & Segmentation

  • Machine-Level & Factory Floor: Engineering robust fiber-optic backbones and Gbps+ high-performance switch fabrics to replace legacy 100 Mbps bottlenecks.

  • Secure IT/OT Segmentation: Implementing iDMZ architectures and Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) to isolate critical production assets from enterprise risks.

  • Design Standards: Expert application of network design for converged industrial environments.

Industrial Cybersecurity & Risk Mitigation

  • Secure Network Segmentation: Designing and implementing iDMZ (Industrial Demilitarized Zones) and micro-segmentation to prevent lateral threat movement between IT and OT networks.

  • Edge Protection: Expert deployment and hardening of Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW), specifically Fortinet FortiGate, tailored for industrial protocols.

  • Risk Assessment & Remediation: Conducting deep-dive audits to identify operational risks and aligning technical roadmaps with industry-standard security policies.

  • Resilience & Recovery (BCDR): Developing robust Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery plans—including off-site storage and replication—to ensure zero-loss production in the event of a breach or system failure.

  • Secure Remote Access: Configuring encrypted, audited access solutions using Allen-Bradley, Secomea and HMS Networks/Ewon to allow vendor support without compromising plant integrity.

SCADA & Systems Modernization

  • Software Lifecycle Updates: Proactive management of the OT software stack, including server virtualization, OS patching, and comprehensive version control for various SCADA and HMI platforms.

  • Virtualization & Cloud: Designing resilient VMware vServer and Microsoft Azure environments to support global, mission-critical operations.

  • Communications Analysis: Deep-level troubleshooting and performance tuning for mission-critical data systems.

Industrial Wireless Solutions

  • Wireless Site Surveys: Comprehensive RF analysis to ensure 802.11 coverage in complex industrial settings.

  • Mission-Critical Configuration: Specialized experience in high-availability wireless for mobile industrial assets, such as overhead crane operations.

  • Deployment Expertise: Advanced configuration and integration of ProSoft, Fortinet, R3 Solutions, Cisco and ESTeem industrial networking hardware for seamless OT connectivity.
