The Invisible Threats to Critical Operations
Industrial environments face unprecedented cyber risks that traditional IT security can't address. Legacy protocols, air-gapped networks that aren't really isolated, and shadow OT devices create blind spots that attackers exploit.
The consequences go far beyond data breaches. A single successful attack can halt production lines, compromise worker safety, trigger environmental incidents, and expose organizations to severe regulatory penalties. Recent incidents have shown average downtime costs exceeding $50,000 per hour for manufacturing facilities.
CISOs, plant managers, and municipal leaders need cybersecurity solutions purpose-built for operational environments, solutions that understand the unique constraints and criticality of industrial systems while maintaining the safety and reliability requirements that keep operations running smoothly.
Our 6-Pillars Approach to Industrial Cybersecurity
ARC.Discovery
Dynamic asset discovery and mapping for industrial environments. Continuously identify every device, protocol, and connection without touching fragile PLCs or disrupting operations.
ARC.Diag
Attack-surface and vulnerability assessments mapped to NIST CSF 2.0, IEC 62443, and CMMC standards. Transform findings into executive-ready roadmaps.
ARC.Pentest
Industrial penetration testing and purple teaming designed for ICS/OT environments. Prove defenses safely with pre-validated testing in controlled environments.
ARC.Lab
Virtualized digital twins of real manufacturing environments. Test changes, validate security controls, and train teams without risking production systems.
ARC.Simulator
Cyber crisis simulations and tabletop exercises tailored for industrial sites. Rehearse incident response in realistic scenarios to improve readiness.
ARC.Monitor
24/7 industrial cybersecurity monitoring with AI-assisted analytics. Purpose-built SOC for OT networks with protocol-aware threat detection.
Built for Operations, aligned with Standards
Plant-Safe Methods
Our passive discovery techniques and change-controlled testing ensure operational continuity. We work within maintenance windows, implement rollback procedures, and never risk production stability for security assessments.
Standards-Aligned Outcomes
Every engagement maps directly to recognized frameworks including NIST CSF 2.0, IEC 62443, CMMC, and ISO 27001. Sector-specific overlays address NERC CIP for energy, HIPAA/HITECH for healthcare, and FDA 21 CFR for pharmaceuticals.
Measurable Resilience
We deliver quantifiable improvements in mean time to detection (MTTD), mean time to recovery (MTTR), and overall risk posture. Our clients typically see 45% faster threat detection and 30% improvement in patch deployment success rates.
Continuous Coverage
Our managed SOC provides round-the-clock monitoring with industrial cybersecurity specialists who understand OT protocols, process behaviors, and the nuances of operational technology environments.
Industries we secure
Manufacturing
Aerospace, food & beverage, and pharmaceutical facilities face unique regulatory requirements and safety-critical processes. Our manufacturing-focused approach addresses FDA validation requirements, HACCP compliance, and aerospace supply chain security mandates while maintaining production efficiency and product quality standards.
Healthcare
Medical devices, building automation systems, and patient data networks require specialized protection strategies. We understand HIPAA/HITECH requirements, medical device regulations, and the life-critical nature of healthcare operations where security failures can directly impact patient safety.
Energy
Power generation, transmission, and distribution systems face sophisticated nation-state threats and strict NERC CIP compliance requirements. Our energy-sector expertise covers both traditional utilities and emerging renewable energy infrastructure with smart grid integration challenges.
Transportation & Logistics
Rail systems, ports, airports, and logistics networks form critical infrastructure backbone. We secure everything from traffic management systems to cargo tracking networks, ensuring supply chain integrity while maintaining the flow of goods and people.
Defense & Public Sector
Military installations, government facilities, and defense contractors require security solutions that meet stringent CMMC compliance and classified environment requirements. Our cleared personnel understand the unique challenges of securing mission-critical defense systems.
Smart Cities
Municipal infrastructure including traffic systems, water treatment, emergency services, and public safety networks require resilient cybersecurity that protects citizen services. We help cities modernize safely while maintaining public trust and regulatory compliance.
How we secure your Operations

In-depth vulnerability and maturity assessments that map findings to industry standards and regulatory requirements.
Test
Safe penetration testing in digital twin environments before any production system interaction.
Simulate
Crisis exercises and incident response training to prepare teams for real-world scenarios.
Monitor
Continuous 24/7 monitoring with AI-assisted threat detection and expert analyst oversight.
This systematic approach ensures comprehensive security coverage while respecting the operational constraints and safety requirements of industrial environments. Each phase builds upon the previous, creating layered defenses that adapt to your specific operational context.
Proven Results across Critical Infrastructure
Case Study: Major Pharmaceutical Manufacturer
A Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company needed to secure their global production network while maintaining FDA validation and ensuring zero disruption to life-saving drug manufacturing. Our comprehensive engagement delivered measurable improvements across all operational security metrics.
Using ARC.Discovery, we identified over 2,400 previously unknown devices across 15 manufacturing sites. Our ARC.Diag assessment revealed critical vulnerabilities in legacy systems while maintaining full FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. The ARC.Lab digital twin environment allowed safe testing of security patches without risking production validation.
The result: 60% improvement in vulnerability remediation time, 45% faster threat detection, and successful completion of FDA audit with zero cybersecurity findings. Most importantly, zero production downtime throughout the entire security enhancement process.

Compliance made clear
Navigating the complex landscape of industrial cybersecurity standards doesn't have to be overwhelming. We provide clear mapping between our services and the frameworks that govern your industry, ensuring your security investments directly support compliance objectives.
NIST CSF 2.0
Our services directly map to all six CSF functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. We provide detailed control implementation guidance and evidence collection for audits.
IEC 62443 Industrial Security
Zone and conduit models, security levels, and system security requirements are integrated into every assessment. We help establish security management systems that meet IEC 62443-2-1 requirements.
CMMC for Defense Contractors
Our CMMC-aligned assessments prepare defense manufacturers for certification requirements while addressing the unique challenges of securing industrial systems within DoD supply chains.
Sector-specific overlays ensure compliance with industry regulations including NERC CIP for electric utilities, HIPAA/HITECH for healthcare facilities, and FDA 21 CFR for pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our clients often have similar concerns about implementing cybersecurity in operational environments. Here are answers to the most common questions about working safely in industrial settings.
1
How do you test safely in live production plants?
We never perform live testing on production systems without extensive pre-validation. Our ARC.Lab digital twin environment allows us to replicate your exact production environment for safe testing. Any production testing occurs during scheduled maintenance windows with full rollback procedures and plant engineering approval.
2
What access do you need to our ICS/OT networks?
Our passive discovery methods typically require read-only network access through SPAN ports or network TAPs. We never require administrative access to PLCs, HMIs, or safety systems. All access follows your change control procedures and security protocols.
3
How to handle legacy infra that can't be patched?
We focus on compensating controls, network segmentation, and monitoring solutions for legacy systems. Our approach recognizes that some systems cannot be modified due to vendor support, validation requirements, or safety certifications.
4
