OT & Industrial Cyber Security

Protect the Plant.
Without Stopping It.

Pragya secures the systems that run your operations: PLCs, SCADA, DCS, HMIs and the networks between them. We assess them, segment them, give you visibility into them and monitor them, without taking production offline.

Why OT Is Different

IT Security Tools Weren't Built for the Plant Floor

Industrial networks were designed for uptime, not security. Industry 4.0, remote vendor access and IT-OT convergence have connected them to the outside world. Here's what we find most often during assessments:

  • Unsupported operating systems on operator and engineering stations, with no antivirus and old patches
  • Flat OT networks where one infected laptop can reach every controller
  • Uncontrolled vendor access over TeamViewer, AnyDesk or plain RDP
  • Multi-homed machines that quietly bridge firewall zones
  • Default passwords on unmanaged switches and field devices
  • Legacy protocols like SMBv1 still in active use
  • No asset inventory, so nobody knows what is connected

Seven questions every plant leader should be able to answer

  1. How well do you understand what's in your industrial control system?
  2. How flat is your OT network, and is it truly separated from IT?
  3. Who needs remote access to your OT network, and how do you secure it?
  4. Do you know who can access what? When did you last check?
  5. Are there unsupported servers still running in your OT environment?
  6. Could you monitor OT and IT security from a single place?
  7. Have you considered sandboxing, deception or AI to strengthen OT defences?

If you can't answer them with confidence, start with an audit.

FAQ

Common Questions

Will an OT security audit disrupt production?

No. We use passive, mirror-port traffic capture and never actively probe controllers. Our audits run on live plants.

How long does an audit take?

Typically 10 working days per site. Multi-site programmes can run sites in parallel.

Which standards do you assess against?

Mainly IEC 62443, NIST CSF, MITRE ATT&CK for ICS and NCIIPC guidelines, plus 22+ international and sector frameworks as required.

Do you only recommend, or do you also implement?

Both. Every audit ends with a bill of materials and scope of work, and our team can implement, monitor and train on the recommended controls.

Are you tied to a specific OT security vendor?

No. We partner with leading OEMs such as Claroty, Nozomi, TXOne, Fortinet and Check Point, and we recommend whatever fits your environment and risk.
