Industrial & Manufacturing

Protect production networks without creating downtime.

Manufacturing and critical infrastructure environments run PLCs, ICS/SCADA, sensors, and legacy systems that cannot be actively scanned, cannot run agents, and cannot tolerate disruption. IoT Secure delivers continuous OT visibility and risk reduction that works alongside your operations — not against them.

The OT Security Problem

OT environments need security that works when uptime is non-negotiable.

Production networks were designed for reliability, not security. The tools that protect IT environments — endpoint agents, active scanners, network taps — create real operational risk when applied to PLCs, HMIs, and industrial sensors.

Traditional IT Security Tools

Built for IT — creates risk in OT

Applying IT-focused tools to OT environments introduces operational risk and produces incomplete results. Active scanning can freeze a PLC. Agents cannot be installed on embedded systems.

  • Active scanners disrupt or crash sensitive industrial devices
  • Endpoint agents cannot install on PLCs, HMIs, or sensors
  • Legacy OT systems absent from IT asset management tools
  • No visibility into ICS/SCADA communication patterns
  • IT/OT network boundaries poorly defined and unmonitored
  • Unauthorized contractor and vendor devices go undetected

IoT Secure for Industrial

Passive visibility — zero operational impact

IoT Secure uses passive network traffic analysis to discover and profile OT assets without any active interaction. Zero production risk. Continuous coverage.

  • Every PLC, HMI, sensor, and historian discovered passively
  • CVE and exposure context without active scanning
  • Industrial protocols identified (Modbus, DNP3, EtherNet/IP)
  • IT/OT communication paths mapped and monitored continuously
  • Unauthorized device alerts at the moment of connection
  • Compliance evidence for NIST and IEC 62443 audits

OT Device Discovery

Complete visibility across production and support networks.

IoT Secure identifies every connected asset in your industrial environment — from PLCs on the production floor to building management systems in the facility, including devices that have never appeared in any IT asset inventory.

PLCs and control systems

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs), distributed control systems (DCS), and remote terminal units (RTUs) across production lines and process control.

HMIs and engineering workstations

Human-machine interfaces, SCADA servers, historian servers, and engineering workstations — including legacy systems running end-of-life OS versions.

Industrial sensors and actuators

Connected sensors, flow meters, pressure transmitters, valve actuators, and field instruments on production and process networks.

Industrial IoT and smart devices

IP-enabled manufacturing equipment, vision systems, barcode readers, industrial robots, and IoT sensors added during Industry 4.0 modernization.

Facility and infrastructure systems

Building management, HVAC, power distribution, environmental monitoring, physical access control, and IP camera systems.

Contractor and vendor devices

Temporary devices connecting for maintenance, configuration, or support — a common initial access vector for ransomware targeting OT environments.

IT/OT Convergence Risk

75% of OT attacks begin as IT breaches.

As IT and OT networks converge, the boundary between enterprise systems and production infrastructure becomes an attack path. A compromised email account or corporate laptop is now a potential gateway into your production network.

Traditional air gaps no longer exist in most industrial environments. Remote access tools, shared credentials, and connected supply chain systems create paths that attackers use to pivot from IT into OT — often without triggering any alert on either side.

IoT Secure maps every communication path crossing your IT/OT boundary. When a corporate device starts talking to a PLC, when a new vendor laptop connects to your process network, or when an existing device changes its communication pattern — IoT Secure surfaces it immediately.

  • Real-time detection of unauthorized IT-to-OT communication
  • Identification of devices that span both IT and OT network segments
  • Continuous monitoring of vendor and remote access paths into OT
  • DNS enforcement and firewall integration to block unsafe lateral movement
  • Compliance evidence for network segmentation controls required by NIST and ISA/IEC 62443

Deployment

Operational visibility in under five minutes — no production risk.

IoT Secure integrates with existing DNS infrastructure or network traffic. There are no agents to deploy, no active scanning, and no changes to production systems or network configurations.

  1. Connect passively — no network changes required

    IoT Secure integrates via DNS or passive traffic analysis. Deployment completes in under five minutes with no agents, no SPAN ports, and no reconfiguration of production systems or control network infrastructure.

  2. Build a complete OT asset inventory

    Every PLC, HMI, sensor, historian, and connected endpoint across production and support networks is discovered and profiled — by manufacturer, model, firmware, protocol, and network behavior. Including systems that have never appeared in any previous inventory.

  3. Identify risk across legacy and unpatched devices

    CVE context, firmware versions, open protocols, and communication exposure are surfaced for every asset — including legacy systems that cannot be actively scanned and devices that cannot be patched on production timelines.

  4. Enforce boundaries using infrastructure you already have

    Apply segmentation, DNS enforcement, and firewall policies to isolate high-risk devices, block unauthorized IT-to-OT communication, and contain lateral movement — using your existing network infrastructure with no production downtime.

Industrial Outcomes

Operational security without operational disruption.

Security and operations teams use IoT Secure to close OT visibility gaps, demonstrate control to auditors, and reduce ransomware exposure — all without adding operational risk to production.

Full OT and ICS asset inventory

Every PLC, HMI, sensor, historian, and industrial IoT device profiled continuously — by manufacturer, model, firmware, protocol, and network behavior.

Legacy device risk context

CVE and exposure detail for devices that cannot be actively scanned or patched — so you know your risk even when you cannot immediately remediate it.

IT/OT boundary enforcement

Unauthorized communication paths across IT/OT boundaries detected and blocked using your existing network infrastructure.

Unauthorized device detection

Contractor and vendor devices identified at the moment of connection — before they can be used to reach production systems.

Production-safe by design

Passive, agentless discovery with zero active probing — no risk of disrupting PLCs, sensors, or production processes.

NIST and IEC 62443 evidence

Asset inventory, segmentation validation, and communication control documentation for OT cybersecurity framework audits.

Know what is connected to your production network.

IoT Secure passively discovers your entire OT environment in under five minutes — no agents, no SPAN ports, no production risk. Start with complete visibility and build your risk reduction program from there.
