One ransomware attack shuts down your entire production line.
67% of ransomware victims are in manufacturing. Your OT network is more connected to IT than you think. DEFION protects both sides.
What manufacturing organisations face
IT/OT convergence expands the attack surface
Production networks that were once isolated are now connected to IT systems for monitoring and optimisation. That connection opens the door for attackers who reach OT through IT.
Production downtime costs tens of thousands per hour
A cyberattack that hits production systems does not stop at data. Machines halt, deliveries are delayed and contractual penalties stack up. The impact is immediate and measurable.
Legacy systems without security updates
Many production environments run systems that cannot be patched without downtime. Windows XP, outdated PLC firmware and unsecured protocols are the rule rather than the exception.
The threats you are facing
Ransomware on the production floor
Attackers specifically target production environments because the pressure to pay is higher. Every minute of downtime costs money, and they know it.
Supply chain attacks
Through suppliers, firmware updates or compromised software, attackers enter without touching your own perimeter. The Purdue model provides structure, but only when enforced.
Unsecured remote access
Suppliers and engineers connect remotely to OT systems for maintenance. Without proper segmentation and monitoring, every remote session is a potential entry point for attackers.
How DEFION protects manufacturing
Full visibility into your OT landscape
We map your complete OT environment: assets, connections, protocols and vulnerabilities. You know exactly what is running and where the risks are.
Testing without production downtime
Our OT pentesters work with protocols and methods that are safe for production environments. We test thoroughly without disrupting your processes.
Continuous IT and OT monitoring
24/7 monitoring of both your IT and OT networks. We detect anomalies in network traffic, unauthorised connections and suspicious behaviour before it causes damage.
Relevant services

Client reference
"The collaboration feels like they are beside us, not opposite us. Openness and expertise aimed at the same goal: keeping our production safe."
Industrial client, OT security and NIS2 programme
Relevant regulations
NIS2
Manufacturing falls under NIS2 as an essential or important entity. Board members are personally liable for cybersecurity. OT security is an explicit part of the requirements.
Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)
Products with digital elements must be secure by design. Relevant for manufacturers producing connected products or industrial components with embedded software.
IEC 62443
The international standard for industrial cybersecurity. Provides a framework for securing Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) across the entire lifecycle.
