IT and Cyber Security for Australian Manufacturers
Protect your production lines, ERP and plant networks from downtime and cyber attack, with IT support that understands how a factory runs.
When the systems stop, the line stops
Your ERP schedules the jobs, your MES tracks the work and your plant network runs the machines. When one goes down, orders stall and margin disappears by the hour.
Security that works around your shifts
Monitoring, patching and upgrades planned around production windows, so protecting the plant never means stopping it.
The risks facing manufacturers today
Factories are more connected than ever, and attackers have noticed. These are the pressures we see shaping IT and security priorities on the floor.
Inside your plant
-
Office and plant on one network
When office PCs and production equipment share a network, a single phishing email can spread from the inbox to the line.
-
Legacy machines
Production equipment often runs older, unsupported systems that can’t be patched like normal computers and need extra protection.
-
Vendor remote access
Machine suppliers and integrators often connect remotely for support. Unmanaged access is a common way attackers get in.
Outside pressure
-
A top target for ransomware
Manufacturing is consistently ranked among the most attacked industries worldwide, because downtime pushes businesses to pay.
-
Customer security questionnaires
Larger customers, especially in defence, automotive and food supply chains, now ask suppliers to prove their cyber controls.
-
Tougher cyber insurance
Insurers increasingly expect MFA, tested backups and Essential Eight controls before offering or renewing cover.
