From single-plant fabricators to multi-site contract manufacturers, we deliver ERP support, OT/IT convergence, and the CMMC-aligned security DoD primes expect.
Challenges
The day-to-day friction we hear about most from manufacturing companies like yours.
Connecting PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA to modern networks without giving up uptime or safety.
When the ERP hiccups, shipping stops — and so does cash.
CNC machines on Windows XP can't be replaced; they have to be protected in place.
Issues at 2am on second shift can't wait until business hours.
CAD files, BOMs, and revision control across engineering, ops, and customers.
Big customers require EDI — and they fine you when it breaks.
Cybersecurity Risks
Cybercriminals don't pick targets at random. Here's what they're aiming at in your industry.
Encrypted ERP or shop-floor systems can shut down a plant for days — average manufacturing ransomware recovery exceeds $1.2M.
Designs, formulations, and process know-how are the targets of state-sponsored and competitor-funded actors.
Attacks on PLCs and SCADA can cause physical damage, safety incidents, and regulatory exposure.
Through your customer portals, EDI links, or your own software vendors.
Vendor-impersonation fraud routinely diverts six- and seven-figure payments.
An unencrypted CAD laptop walking out of a hotel room is an IP-theft incident.
