IT, OT & Cybersecurity for Manufacturing
OT/IT convergence, CMMC and NIST 800-171 readiness, and ransomware-resistant production. 24/7 SOC tuned for industrial networks and regulated defense supply chains.
OT systems you can't patch without shutting the line down
SCADA systems, PLCs, and HMIs typically have 10-30 year operational lifecycles. You can't patch them on Microsoft's Tuesday schedule. Security has to live at the network and monitoring layer because the endpoint layer just isn't available.
Ransomware on production is an existential event
An hour of plant downtime can cost more than an entire year of security spend. Attackers know this, which is why manufacturing has become a favorite target. Your backups and segmentation have to hold up under live attack conditions.
CMMC and DFARS pressure if you touch defense
Primes are pushing CMMC requirements down the supply chain hard. For a lot of DoD subcontractors, CMMC Level 2 or Level 3 has gone from aspirational to required for renewal.
IP theft, supply-chain attacks, and insider risk
Your designs, process recipes, and vendor relationships are as valuable as your physical inventory. They're also much harder to spot walking out the door than a pallet of raw materials.
What we deliver for plant and engineering teams
OT/IT Network Segmentation
Purdue-model-aligned segmentation between IT, DMZ, and OT zones. Micro-segmentation inside OT where possible. Blast radius contained by design.
24/7 SOC with OT Visibility
Passive monitoring across industrial protocols (Modbus, DNP3, OPC, S7) plus IT-side SIEM correlation. Threats spotted in either zone get contextualized across both.
CMMC & NIST 800-171 Readiness
Gap assessments, remediation, SSP and POA&M development, and continuous control operation for CMMC Level 2 / Level 3. Ready for C3PAO assessment.
Ransomware-Resistant Backup & DR
Immutable, air-gapped backups for ERP, MES, and engineering workstations. DR runbooks get tested regularly, not filed away. RTOs run under 1 hour for production-critical systems.
Vendor Risk & Third-Party Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of critical suppliers, integrators, and managed service providers. Supply-chain attack detection, not just vendor questionnaires.
Legacy System Modernization
Some of your systems can move to modern infrastructure; some can't. We figure out which is which, then stage the migration of MES, ERP, and engineering platforms so production never stops.
Compliance frameworks we operate against
Manufacturing FAQ
Can EFROS secure OT environments without disrupting production?
Yes. Our OT monitoring is passive, meaning we observe industrial network traffic without ever injecting packets into control loops. Any changes to OT systems get staged, tested in a lab environment, and coordinated with plant operations before they touch production. You don't get surprise downtime from a security tool update.
Do you support CMMC Level 2 or Level 3 certification?
Yes. We deliver gap assessments, SSP and POA&M preparation, remediation, and continuous control operation. For defense subcontractors pursuing C3PAO assessment, we act as the managed security operator behind your certification.
How do you handle ransomware against a production environment?
Our SOC contains the incident, isolates the affected network segments, and activates pre-tested recovery runbooks. Immutable backups restore to clean infrastructure. Restart sequencing gets coordinated with your plant ops team, because safety decisions always override security decisions in an OT context.
Can you integrate with our existing ERP and MES (SAP, Oracle, Plex, etc.)?
Yes. Our engineers have delivered integrations across SAP, Oracle, Plex, Infor, and custom MES environments. Security monitoring, backup, and identity management are tuned per platform.
Ready for an OT/IT security assessment?
Free assessment. We map your IT and OT architecture, identify segmentation gaps, and deliver a prioritized remediation roadmap aligned to NIST 800-171, CMMC, or IEC 62443.
