Good cybersecurity hygiene leads to preventative action. While most organizations don’t realize that they have been hacked until it’s too late, our cybersecurity managed services provide vigilant protection. Individually, the tools we provide as part of our cybersecurity managed services are powerful, protecting critical aspects of OT operations. When they are combined, they seamlessly create a complete picture to help you deter, prevent, detect and respond to attacks.
We oversee all activity 24/7/365 from our centralized ISOC with no interference to your operations. Once we install our passive monitoring equipment into your operational network, you’ll receive company-wide (or fleet-wide) coverage for your IT, OT and ICS networks and devices. Then our cyber experts take the raw data from your systems, combine it with a variety of cyber intelligence sources and turn it into active monitoring and actionable guidance.
Services for remote and onsite OT systems are available for the Marine and Offshore, Oil, Gas and Chemical, Industrial Manufacturing and Power and Energy markets.
OT used in different industries is highly specialized and has network connections that are vulnerable to attacks. Without cybersecurity managed services, OT networks, designed to monitor the health of networks, systems and equipment, are completely exposed to threat actors both over the Internet and out in the field. Once compromised, threats can easily spread, entrench deeply and exploit your operations undetected.
Our Solution
The increase in network connectivity and IT-like advancements to keep the OT systems current play a relevant role in networks and systems’ safety. To improve visibility with a proactive detection approach, we offer 24/7/365 integrated monitoring, alerting capabilities and managed network security services for your OT and IT systems.
How It Works:
Insight Reports
In addition to 24/7/365 monitoring, we provide regular reports that summarize analysis and insights from across your fleet/sites/facilities and present recommendations on how to continuously adapt and improve your industrial cyber operations.
We take a deeper look at your OT and ICS to report overall trends. This review includes the number of cyber events, where the exposures are, new or update software to run across, change in policies and recommended actions to help prevent incidents or events in the future.

When it comes to the world of OT cybersecurity, organizations need to be able to answer these questions:
Your operations team can do a lot more if they know what vulnerabilities are crawling around in your systems, which could lead to OT cyber threats.
Our Solution
ICS inventories are initially developed during commissioning. Generally, this is a manual process that relies heavily on OEMs and vendors. However, throughout the lifecycle of the equipment, systems and components changes are not always logged or tracked in inventories.
As a component of visibility, our industrial cyber experts can automatically create asset inventories and topology maps. As a leading MSSP, our ICS technologies are specifically engineered to collect information on OT and IT networks, interpret that traffic, and accurately identify hardware and software types, making manual inventories a thing of the past. In addition, asset inventory supports other operations activities like obsolescence planning.
Once you know exactly what your assets are, then you can begin to protect them with our reliable cybersecurity managed services. Building security without having an accurate OT and IT asset inventory will likely fail because cyber attackers take advantage of your shortfalls to use your systems against you.

ICSs are designed to run continuously and non-stop for extended periods of time without getting patches. Maintenance cycles are dedicated to ensuring the machinery components are repaired during a short window. OEMs and vendors are increasingly adding new industrial security technologies for maintenance and diagnostics to limit downtime. However, organizations don’t have visibility into these OT cybersecurity upgrades and the new vulnerabilities they bring.
Our Solution
The new remote connectivity for OEM/vendor maintenance is opening a clean and clear path for adversaries to exploit these vulnerabilities. By simply installing our passive OT monitoring technologies you automatically discover the vulnerabilities you have in your OT and IT networks and devices, hardware and software. It’s that simple—and it all happens with no impact to your critical ICS and OT networks.
Managing cyber risk vulnerabilities will be possible by using the priorities risk rankings and working with OEMs and vendors to prioritize security updates (operating systems, firmware, software updates or patches) during maintenance windows. It's enhanced vulnerability management: it’s more than just a scoring, it’s a risk rating.

Management of Change (MOC) processes are not very effective due to the burden of manually logging every modification or maintenance change during routine operations. In many cases, organizations don’t have visibility into what their vendors are doing to their OT systems and devices. They are also not aware when the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) program changes, or when firmware, software or hardware updates occur in their industrial systems.
Our Solution
Vulnerabilities and threats can be introduced during system changes due to poor OT cybersecurity practices and lack of good cyber hygiene. Additionally, unplanned changes can impact peripheral operations and safety systems.
You can have an easy and automated process for tracking configuration and system changes. As a top MSSP, our passive OT monitoring technologies automatically discover firmware updates and track PLC program changes. Each change is logged and notifications can be set up to message personnel for real-time tracking. You can check your MOC documentation at any time to see planned maintenance changes.

It’s a common practice that the setup of an ICS is completed by OEMs and vendors when installing systems, devices and components—sometimes without a clear understanding of your organization’s cybersecurity program.
Our Solution
The settings and configurations in your OT systems allow you to set specific parameters so you can meet the criteria defined in your OT cybersecurity policies. These policies are based on the different things that you want to check on your network like users’ passwords (created and changed) and accounts that have been created, updated or deleted. Anything that falls outside those policies sends an alert. This information will give you the threats, vulnerabilities and cybersecurity statistics that you need with the advantage to customize it the way you want it.
Having policy management in place proactively monitors and manages the security and privacy of your OT networks and systems, demonstrating OT cyber readiness and compliance for cybersecurity threats.
