Production equipment has different risks, different tolerances for downtime, and machines you can't just patch on a Tuesday. We treat the network behind your floor as its own problem, not an afterthought bolted onto office IT.
Schedule Free Discovery CallWhat actually stops a line
When office IT and shop floor equipment share a flat network, a phishing click at a front-desk computer can reach the machines actually making product.
A CNC or PLC running an unsupported version of Windows because the vendor never certified anything newer, and replacing it isn't a this-year decision.
On a shop floor, an outage isn't an inconvenience, it's a number someone reports up the chain, and every minute has a dollar figure attached.
Renewal season or a new customer contract shows up with a security questionnaire that assumes controls you may not have documented, or don't have at all.
Equipment vendors needing remote access to service a machine, and no clean way to grant it without opening a door that stays open long after the job's done.
Office IT gets monitored, the equipment running production often doesn't, until something on it fails and nobody notices until the line stops.
What we actually do about it
Shop floor equipment separated from office systems so a compromised laptop in the front office can't reach the machines running production.
Isolation, monitoring, and access restrictions for machines that can't be patched, so unsupported doesn't have to mean unprotected.
The network behind your equipment watched continuously, so a failing switch or a strange connection attempt gets caught before it becomes a production stoppage.
Equipment vendors get access when they need it, for exactly as long as they need it, not a standing connection nobody remembers is open.
Documentation and controls that hold up to a cyber insurance renewal or a customer's security questionnaire, including groundwork for CMMC where defense work is involved.
Backups and a tested recovery path for the systems running your operation, so a ransomware hit or hardware failure doesn't turn into extended downtime.
Next step
This is Business Pro territory, network and security operations, systems management, and disaster recovery built around the reality of a shop floor, with segmentation and legacy-equipment work scoped as a one-time project alongside it.
