Delivering innovation that matters.

The IT/OT boundary in your factoryprobably doesn’t exist.

Most factory networks are flat. IT and OT reach each other directly, and one compromise on the IT side becomes a stoppage on the floor. I fix that with security audits, segmentation, and Industry 4.0 readiness, without stopping the line.

OT SECURITY. CLEAR, CONTROLLED, AND PRECISE.

The zero-downtime process3 steps
01

Audit

Find every asset, protocol, and open path in your OT network.

02

Secure

Segment, harden, and patch. Applied on the running plant.

03

Sustain

Baselines, monitoring, and reviews so it stays that way.

I don’t secure factories from a slide deck. I’ve worked across many plants, including Centrale Danone. Production stoppage is expensive, so everything I do runs on the live plant.

A Security Practice Built for Factories That Never Stop

Most OT security projects start with a slide and end with a proposal. Mine start with your firewall rules and your PLCs, and end with a segmented network you can actually run.

Clear scope, fixed timeline, zero downtime. You always know what changes on the factory floor, and when.

/01OT Security Audit & Risk Assessment

I find exactly what's exposed in your OT network. Asset inventory, firewall review, gap analysis against IEC 62443. You get a prioritized action list, not a report nobody reads.

#OTSECURITY #IEC62443

/02IT/OT Segmentation & Network Architecture

I carve flat networks into zones. Purdue-model architecture, DMZ, unidirectional gateways where the risk demands it. Built on the running plant, zero downtime.

#SEGMENTATION #PURDEMODEL

/03Industry 4.0 Readiness & Secure Digitalization

IIoT, predictive maintenance, AI where it actually pays off. Installed and secured from day one, so your smart factory never becomes your attack surface.

#INDUSTRY40 #IIOT

/04Cyber Governance & Compliance

ISMS design on ISO/IEC 27001, risk management on ISO/IEC 27005, backup and recovery policies on ISO/IEC 27031 and NIST 800-34, and NIS2 readiness for plants that feed the EU market. Policies you can hand to an auditor.

Why factories work with me

I secure factories the way I ran them: on the floor,
with the line running.

LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR PLANT

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions I get most from plant, IT, and security teams. If yours isn't here, send it. You'll get a straight answer.

Common questions

No. The work is designed to run alongside production. Any intervention, from firewall policy changes to segmentation cutovers, is planned around your production schedule and always has a rollback path. Zero downtime is the standard, not a promise.
