Is your industrial control system (ICS) prepared for a targeted cyber attack? Unlike IT systems, an operational technology (OT) incident doesn’t just mean data loss—it means physical downtime, safety hazards, and massive production losses.
We provide specialised, rapid OT Cyber Security Incident Response (IR) services designed to contain, eradicate, and recover industrial operations with minimal impact on production.
When a threat hits your PLCs, SCADA systems, or DCS network, every second counts. You need responders who understand the delicate nature of industrial protocols (Modbus, Profinet, EtherNet/IP) and the criticality of deterministic control.
| IT Incident Focus | OT Incident Focus | The Stakes |
|---|---|---|
| Data Confidentiality | Physical Integrity & Safety | Catastrophic Equipment Damage |
| Service Restoration (Minutes/Hours) | Production Restart (Seconds/Minutes) | Massive Financial Loss & Regulatory Fines |
| Standard Forensics | ICS-Specific Forensics (e.g., PLC logs) | Human Life and Environmental Risk |
Our methodology is tailored to the unique demands of the industrial environment, focusing first on containment to safeguard physical assets and then on fast, validated recovery.
The goal: Stop the unauthorised activity before it spreads or causes physical damage.
Immediate isolation of affected zones (e.g., firewall policy enforcement) while maintaining critical safety functionality.
Non-invasive collection of volatile data (e.g., running processes, network connections) from industrial endpoints (HMIs, Engineering Workstations).
Quick, safe verification of controller program integrity and running state.
We utilise specialised tools to investigate the “how” and “who” without interrupting essential production where possible.
Deep dive into industrial PCs, historian servers, and jump boxes for Indicators of Compromise (IoCs).
Decrypting and analysing industrial network traffic (Modbus TCP, OPC UA, EtherNet/IP) to map threat actor movement.
Identifying unauthorised or malicious changes to PLC logic or firmware—a unique and critical step in OT forensics.
We utilize specialized tools to investigate the “how” and “who” without interrupting essential production where possible.
Restoring systems from known-good, verified backups and implementing strict change management protocols.
Patching vulnerabilities, enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) on industrial remote access, and restricting administrative privileges.
Detailed reporting on the attack vector and customised training to prevent recurrence (based on NIST CSF and IEC 62443 guidelines).
Our team comprises certified security analysts (e.g., GICSP, CISSP) who are also hands-on automation engineers familiar with all major industrial systems:
Rockwell FactoryTalk, Siemens PCS 7/TIA Portal, Emerson DeltaV, Honeywell Experion.
Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, Siemens S7, Modicon, Omron NX.
Deep expertise in detecting anomalies in Modbus, DNP3, EtherNet/IP, and Profinet.
We bridge the critical gap between your IT security team and your plant floor operations team.
Pioneering the future of engineering through digital transformation, grounded in culture of safety and resilience.
