Industrial Automation
Protect industrial operations with OT cybersecurity services focused on asset visibility, network segmentation, secure access, system hardening, monitoring, backups, and recovery readiness.
Why Direct
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.
Our Capabilities
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.
Direct evaluates connected OT assets, hardware, software, network architecture, communications, and remote-access points to identify potential security risks. These OT cybersecurity assessments help plant teams understand their vulnerabilities, see where exposure exists, and prioritize improvements around operational requirements.
We design OT network security around how your plant actually communicates. Security zones, conduits, firewalls, VLANs, and industrial DMZs help separate critical systems and control access while preserving the necessary data sharing, communication paths, and availability that production depends on.
Our engineers strengthen PLC, DCS, SCADA, and other industrial control systems through hardened configurations, access controls, secure vendor connections, and remediation planning. We coordinate security improvements with automation requirements and production schedules to reduce unnecessary disruption.
Direct helps plants improve resilience through network monitoring, abnormal activity detection, asset awareness, configuration backups, and recovery planning. Recommendations can align with NIST and ISA/IEC 62443 practices when appropriate, helping teams prepare to restore critical systems after an incident or failure.
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.
Clear asset inventories, communication paths, remote connections, and network boundaries help plant teams see where exposure exists.
Stronger segmentation, secure remote access, identity controls, and hardened configurations reduce unnecessary exposure while preserving critical automation communications.
Current backups, restoration priorities, documentation, and recovery plans give plant teams a clearer path to restoring systems with less disruption.
