Industrial Automation
OT Cybersecurity Services
Protect industrial operations with OT cybersecurity services focused on asset visibility, network segmentation, secure access, system hardening, monitoring, backups, and recovery readiness.
Why Direct
Security Built for Industrial Operations
Industrial security has to reduce risk without interfering with the systems that keep production running. Direct brings automation, industrial networking, cybersecurity, and business IT expertise together so controls, networks, remote access, endpoints, and recovery planning can be addressed as one connected environment.
- OT Security Designed Around Production
- Integrated Controls, Network, and Business IT Expertise
- Asset Visibility, Risk Assessment, and Segmentation
- Secure Access, Monitoring, Backup, and Recovery Planning
Our Capabilities
Advanced Industrial Cybersecurity Services
From OT assessments and network architecture through system hardening, secure access, monitoring, backups, and recovery planning, Direct protects industrial environments with availability and production requirements in mind.
OT Cybersecurity Assessments and Asset Visibility
We evaluate connected assets, hardware and software, network architecture, remote-access paths, communications, vulnerabilities, and operational risk across OT. The assessment gives plant teams a clearer view of connected systems, where exposure exists, and which improvements to prioritize.
Industrial Network Segmentation and Architecture
Direct Automation strengthens OT networks with security zones, conduits, firewalls, VLANs, industrial DMZs, and controlled communication paths based on architecture and risk. The goal is to limit exposure while preserving the traffic, data sharing, and availability industrial systems rely on.
ICS Hardening and Secure Remote Access
Our engineers strengthen PLC, DCS, SCADA, engineering, and OT environments through hardened configurations, access controls, secure vendor connectivity, and remediation planning. Security changes align with automation requirements and production schedules to avoid operational problems.
OT Monitoring, Backup, and Recovery Readiness
We improve resilience through monitoring, asset awareness, abnormal activity detection, configuration backups, and recovery planning. Recommendations can align with NIST and ISA/IEC 62443 practices when appropriate, helping plants prepare to restore critical systems after an incident or failure.
Protect the Systems Behind Production
OT cybersecurity should make operations more resilient without creating new control or availability problems. Better visibility, tighter access, stronger network boundaries, and clear recovery planning help reduce cyber risk while keeping critical industrial systems supportable.
Know What’s Connected
Clear asset inventories, communication paths, remote connections, and network boundaries help plant teams see where exposure exists.
Control Access, Protect Production
Stronger segmentation, secure remote access, identity controls, and hardened configurations reduce unnecessary exposure while preserving critical automation communications.
Improve Recovery Readiness
Current backups, restoration priorities, documentation, and recovery plans give plant teams a clearer path to restoring systems with less disruption.
