For California manufacturers where a network problem stops a production line.
Manufacturing runs two networks with different rules. Business IT can be patched on a schedule; operational technology on the production floor often runs software that cannot be updated without vendor sign-off and a planned stoppage.
The failure mode is a flat network where a phished office credential reaches production systems. Segmentation between the two, with controlled and monitored crossing points, is the control that matters most and it is frequently absent.
See cybersecurity services, managed IT and incident response.
It describes business IT systems and operational technology on the production floor increasingly sharing networks and data. The security consequence is that a compromised office credential can reach systems that control physical processes. Segmentation with controlled crossing points is the primary mitigation.
This is common and it is a compensating-controls problem rather than a patching problem. Isolate the system, restrict what can reach it, monitor the crossing points, and document the accepted risk with its rationale. An honest risk register is defensible; pretending the system is current is not.
Yes. These are increasingly a condition of supply, and they ask for evidence rather than assurances. We configure the controls and produce the documentation the questionnaires actually request.
