Industrial Control System Security

Continuous operations and unique technologies make securing ICS environments a challenging task. Our team can provide the expertise your team needs to review your ICS/OT environment and help them secure it according to industry standards, such as ISA/IEC 62443. ICS Assessments and penetration testing begin with the evaluation of the scoped process’ architecture and its operational requirements. We work with your team to understand these processes, obtain an overview of your business and operation goals, and determine the most significant threats to the success of these teams and the technologies they support. Security testing is then performed to evaluate how your current controls protect your processes against common and determined attackers that wish to disrupt your organization’s success. Our assessment results in pointed and prioritized findings that will help your risk management and operations team improve the maturity of your security program and ensure the effectiveness of your process to achieve your business goals.

Overwhelmed by continuous operations, many ICS/OT security teams struggle to dedicate time to comprehensive industrial cybersecurity program evaluations and strategic prioritization. Our expert consulting services provide the necessary augmentation to assess your current OT security posture and identify actionable steps to enhance your organization’s security, aligning with your critical business needs. We specialize in evaluating and improving ICS security programs against internationally recognized standards such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), C2M2 (Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model), and ISA/IEC 62443. Our approach helps you establish a robust ICS risk management strategy, strengthen critical infrastructure protection, and ensure compliance with industry best practices, ultimately improving your overall SCADA security and OT threat detection capabilities.

ICS Security Program Review

While organizations and security teams excel at implementing cybersecurity programs in traditional IT environments, ICS security presents unique challenges. We specialize in reviewing implemented OT security practices for your organization or specific process environments, working closely with ICS/OT stakeholders to understand the System Under Consideration (SUC). Our goal is to identify ICS security implementation gaps and provide actionable recommendations to ensure the availability, reliability, and recovery of your critical production and services. As attackers increasingly target OT, your team needs a mature industrial cybersecurity program to protect your processes and business objectives. We assist in updating ICS security policies, implementing network segmentation and isolation of SCADA systems, optimizing vendor and integrator security relationships, and mitigating systemic ICS vulnerability risks in an organized, prioritized manner. Our services enhance your critical infrastructure protection and strengthen your overall industrial automation and control systems (IACS) security posture through effective OT risk management and ICS threat detection strategies.

Threat Modeling

While standard security assessments uncover vulnerabilities, they often lack the context of real-world attack scenarios. Our ICS/OT threat evaluations, leveraging the MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise and ICS Matrices, provide a comprehensive understanding of how threat actors, including cybercriminals and those behind ransomware campaigns, will approach accessing and attacking your process environments. We simulate adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to reveal the most impactful threats to your business and operational success. ICS threat modeling enables your team to prioritize security efforts, identifying critical gaps and focusing on the true risks to your data and technologies. By aligning administrators, developers, security teams, and leadership on projects that mitigate these real risks, we ensure a unified and effective defense of your critical infrastructure. Our services strengthen your OT threat detection and ICS incident response capabilities, fortifying your overall industrial cybersecurity posture and protecting your SCADA systems from evolving industrial cyber threats.

We deliver a comprehensive suite of ICS/OT security assessment services to empower your security teams, administrators, engineers/operators, and leadership. Our offerings include ICS architecture reviews, OT merger and acquisition security analysis, assumed breach assessments within industrial control systems, SCADA web application assessments, and targeted ICS/OT penetration testing. Each service provides critical data for your OT vulnerability management and ICS risk analysis programs, strengthening your overall industrial cybersecurity posture and ensuring critical infrastructure protection.

Assumed Breach Assessments

ICS/OT assumed breach assessments simulate real-world industrial cyberattacks, mirroring how adversaries exploit compromised employee or contractor credentials to gain initial access. These assessments evaluate your ICS security posture from an attacker’s perspective, focusing on privilege escalation, lateral movement within isolated OT networks, and potential data exfiltration. By replicating advanced persistent threat (APT) tactics, we reveal vulnerabilities that could lead to disruption of critical infrastructure operations. Our approach helps your team understand effective OT threat detection and ICS incident response strategies, enabling proactive mitigation of industrial cybersecurity risks and strengthening your overall SCADA security.
