OT Security Services for Critical Infrastructure

Secure SCADA, DCS, PLCs and plant networks — without stopping production.

Invield has a proven track record of securing operational technology for its partners in the energy & power, manufacturing, aviation and defence sectors. We combine industrial-protocol expertise with a safety-first, passive-first method, so you get visibility and a clear risk-reduction roadmap without disrupting operations.

  • Passive OT asset discovery and network mapping
  • ICS/SCADA risk assessment aligned to IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82
  • Safe, approved OT VAPT in agreed maintenance windows
  • IT/OT segmentation, remote-access and vendor-access hardening

Why OT needs its own security approach

Plant networks were built for availability and safety, not for connectivity. As IT and OT converge — remote access, cloud historians, vendor support links — attackers can reach systems that control physical processes.

Legacy, unpatchable assets

PLCs, RTUs and HMIs often run for decades on unsupported operating systems that cannot simply be patched or scanned.

Flat IT/OT networks

Weak segmentation lets ransomware spread from the office network to the plant floor.

Insecure remote and vendor access

Always-on remote desktop and shared vendor accounts are a common entry point into control systems.

Safety and downtime risk

A cyber incident in OT can halt production, damage equipment or endanger people — and aggressive testing can cause the very outage you want to prevent.

Our OT security services

From a first assessment to continuous monitoring — delivered by engineers who understand industrial processes.

OT asset discovery & inventory

Build an accurate inventory of PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, engineering workstations and network devices using passive traffic analysis.

  • Passive, non-intrusive discovery
  • Firmware and version identification
  • Communication-flow mapping

ICS / SCADA risk assessment

Assess your control-system environment against IEC 62443 and NIST SP 800-82, define zones and conduits, and rank risks by safety and business impact.

  • Zones & conduits model (IEC 62443-3-2)
  • Consequence-based risk ranking
  • Prioritised remediation roadmap

OT network architecture & segmentation

Review your architecture against the Purdue reference model and design a practical IT/OT DMZ and firewall rule set.

  • Purdue model gap analysis
  • IT/OT DMZ design
  • Firewall and allow-list rule review

Safe OT VAPT

Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing tailored to industrial systems — passive first, and active testing only with your approval, in maintenance windows or on test benches.

  • Agreed safety plan and rules of engagement
  • Test-bench and staging validation
  • No unapproved active scans on live controllers

Remote & vendor access security

Secure how employees and OEM vendors reach your plant: jump hosts, MFA, session recording and least-privilege access.

  • Remote-access architecture review
  • Vendor access policy
  • Credential and MFA hardening

OT threat monitoring

Continuous detection for control networks, integrated with Invield SIEM and our 24/7 SOC, with alerts tuned to industrial protocols and processes.

  • Baseline of normal plant behaviour
  • Alerts on new devices and unusual commands
  • SOC escalation playbooks for OT

OT incident response & tabletop exercises

Prepare plant, IT and management teams to respond to a cyber incident safely, and get hands-on help if one happens.

  • OT-specific incident response plan
  • Ransomware tabletop exercises
  • On-call incident response support

Compliance & security programme

Build an OT security programme that meets sector requirements and stands up to audit.

  • IEC 62443 gap assessment
  • CEA power-sector guideline readiness
  • Policies, procedures and training

Sectors we secure

Invield serves partners across critical and industrial sectors, adapting every engagement to the safety rules and regulators of that industry.

Energy & power

Generation, transmission, distribution and renewable plants — SCADA, substation automation (IEC 61850) and control centres.

Manufacturing

Discrete and process manufacturing — PLC/DCS networks, MES, historians and OEM remote support.

Aviation

Airport and aviation operational systems — baggage handling, airfield and building management systems and their supporting networks.

Defence

Defence manufacturing and establishments — isolated and air-gapped networks, secure engineering environments and supply-chain risk.

Our safety-first OT security methodology

  1. 1

    Scope & safety plan

    Agree sites, systems, contacts and rules of engagement with operations and safety teams.

  2. 2

    Passive discovery

    Capture and analyse network traffic to map assets and communications — no impact on live processes.

  3. 3

    Risk assessment

    Review architecture, access and configurations against IEC 62443 and rank risks by consequence.

  4. 4

    Safe validation

    Where approved, validate findings on test benches or during maintenance windows.

  5. 5

    Roadmap & remediation

    Deliver a prioritised, budget-aware roadmap and support your teams through remediation.

  6. 6

    Monitor & improve

    Optional continuous OT monitoring with Invield SIEM and 24/7 SOC.
