Solving Real Manufacturing Challenges
We understand the unique IT challenges manufacturers face
Plant-Floor Network Segmentation
Machines, controllers and cameras on their own network segments, so one infected laptop cannot reach production equipment
- • Inventory what is on the plant network before changing anything
- • Separate machines and cameras from office and guest traffic
- • Allow only the connections production actually needs, and log the rest
Downtime and Recovery
For a manufacturer, IT downtime is lost production
- • Around-the-clock endpoint monitoring on every plan
- • Restore-tested backup, with servers and ERP systems planned around how long you can afford to be down
- • 24/7 support including after-hours and weekends on Preferred Complete, for multi-shift plants
Security on Every Plan
The same security baseline on every plan, including the smallest
- • Endpoint detection and response, with 24/7 managed detection and response monitored by people
- • MFA, patching, email threat protection and security awareness training
- • CMMC and NIST 800-171 readiness management on Preferred Complete
