Manufacturing
Penetration Testing
Protect your production environment, intellectual property, and supply chain systems. We help manufacturers identify and fix security vulnerabilities across IT networks, cloud-connected devices, and web applications before they lead to operational disruption.

Manufacturers face growing cyber threats targeting both IT systems and operational technology.
IT/OT Convergence
As manufacturing networks connect to corporate IT systems and the cloud, the attack surface expands. Poor segmentation between IT and OT environments allows attackers to pivot from email to the production floor.
Ransomware Targeting
Manufacturing is the most targeted industry for ransomware. Downtime directly impacts production output, making manufacturers more likely to pay ransoms and more attractive to attackers.
Intellectual Property Theft
Trade secrets, product designs, and proprietary processes are valuable targets. Compromised file shares, weak access controls, and unencrypted communications put IP at risk.
IoT & Connected Devices
Smart sensors, PLCs, and connected equipment often run outdated firmware with minimal security controls. Compromised devices create lateral movement paths into the broader network.
Cloud & ERP Security
Cloud-hosted ERP systems, supply chain platforms, and inventory management tools are critical infrastructure. Misconfigurations and weak access controls can expose production data and disrupt operations.
Supply Chain Risks
Third-party vendor access, supplier portals, and remote maintenance connections create entry points that attackers exploit to reach your internal systems and production environments.
How We Help Manufacturers
Targeted security assessments designed for the manufacturing threat landscape.
Internal Network Testing
Assess network segmentation between IT and OT environments, identify lateral movement paths, and test Active Directory security. We evaluate how far an attacker could go from an initial foothold on the corporate network.
External Network Testing
Black-box assessment of internet-facing infrastructure including VPN gateways, remote access systems, web servers, and exposed services that attackers target to gain initial access.
Web Application Testing
Security assessment of supplier portals, customer ordering systems, inventory dashboards, and internal manufacturing web applications. We test authentication, authorization, and business logic specific to manufacturing workflows.
Cloud Security Assessment
Configuration review of AWS, Azure, or GCP environments hosting ERP systems, supply chain platforms, and manufacturing workloads. We evaluate IAM policies, network controls, and data protection measures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will penetration testing disrupt our production systems?
No. We coordinate testing windows with your team and focus on IT-side assessments that don't directly interact with production control systems. For OT-adjacent testing, we work within safe boundaries defined by your operations team.
Do you test OT/SCADA systems directly?
Our primary focus is on the IT side — internal networks, web applications, cloud environments, and the IT/OT boundary. We assess how an attacker on the IT network could reach OT systems, test network segmentation effectiveness, and identify lateral movement paths toward production environments.
How does this help with cyber insurance requirements?
Many cyber insurance carriers now require annual penetration testing as a condition of coverage. Our reports provide the documentation insurers need, including scope, methodology, findings with risk ratings, and evidence of remediation through our complimentary retest.
Can you test our remote access and VPN systems?
Yes. Remote access infrastructure is a common entry point for manufacturing attacks. We test VPN configurations, remote desktop solutions, vendor access portals, and multi-factor authentication implementations.
What size manufacturers do you work with?
We work with manufacturers of all sizes, from mid-market companies with a single facility to enterprises with multiple sites. Our assessments scale to match your environment and risk profile.
