Manufacturing & OT Security
OT/IT convergence security, supply chain risk management, and Industry 4.0 protection for manufacturers navigating operational technology cybersecurity, CMMC requirements, and legacy system modernization.
Industry Challenges
Manufacturing's Evolving
Threat Landscape
OT/IT Convergence
Operational Technology (SCADA, ICS, PLCs) connecting to corporate IT networks creates attack surface. Legacy manufacturing systems never designed for internet connectivity now face sophisticated threats targeting production environments.
Supply Chain Attacks
Manufacturing supply chains are targets for nation-state and ransomware actors. Third-party software, component suppliers, and logistics partners require cybersecurity risk management and vendor assessment programs.
Legacy System Security
Manufacturing equipment with 20+ year lifecycles creates patching challenges. Windows XP/7 embedded systems, unpatched PLCs, and legacy SCADA require compensating controls and network segmentation.
Featured Services
How We Help Manufacturers
01
CMMC Readiness
For manufacturers in the defense supply chain. CMMC Level 1 or Level 2 gap analysis, NIST 800-171 implementation, System Security Plan development, and C3PAO preparation.
02
Third-Party Risk Management
Supply chain cybersecurity program design. Vendor risk assessment frameworks, supplier security questionnaires, component security evaluation, and logistics partner risk management.
03
Enterprise Risk Assessment
Comprehensive security posture analysis for manufacturing environments. OT/IT network segmentation review, legacy system risk assessment, and production environment security roadmap.
04
Fractional CISO Services
Strategic security leadership for manufacturers. OT security program development, supply chain risk oversight, CMMC maintenance (defense contractors), and operational resilience planning.
Compliance Requirements
Manufacturing Security Standards
Manufacturers face industry-specific security requirements based on their markets—from defense contractors needing CMMC to exporters managing ITAR/EAR controlled technical data.
Why Manufacturers Choose Neon Clarity
We understand that manufacturing cybersecurity must balance security with uptime. Production environments can't tolerate downtime for patching, and legacy systems require creative compensating controls. Our approach combines OT/IT expertise with operational realism.
We've worked with discrete manufacturers, process industries, and defense contractors across traditional manufacturing and Industry 4.0 smart factories. We understand the unique constraints of production environments and supply chain complexity.
