PLC automation · MES
Manufacturing plants
Cybersecurity for PLC-controlled production lines and their machines, in plants where IT and OT networks have been connected to share production data.
Typical systems in this sector
The control systems and infrastructure we work with
- PLC-controlled production lines, with SCADA or HMI supervision across the floor
- Machines and cells supplied by OEMs, each with its own controller, software and support arrangement
- MES and ERP connections carrying production data to the business, often continuously
Key risks in this sector
The services and solutions that address each one- 01
Production networks connected directly to the business network, often to send production data to dashboards
- 02
OEM machines supported under arrangements that require remote access, each with its own separate account
- 03
Line HMIs and engineering PCs running software that the machine builder will not support on newer operating systems
- 04
No single owner for the plant network, with responsibility split between production engineering and corporate IT
