Manufacturing & Distribution
Securing OT and supply chains as manufacturing gets more connected.
As manufacturing environments connect IT and OT more deeply, the attack surface grows right along with it. We help manufacturers and distributors secure industrial control systems, manage a supplier risk footprint that keeps getting more complex, and drive digital process automation across the plant floor and the back office alike.
Challenges
- Connecting OT and IT to run a smart factory means a ransomware infection on the office network can now stop a production line, and most plants still segment the two on paper more than in practice.
- Global supply chain diversification, including the shift toward manufacturing hubs across the Gulf, means onboarding new suppliers faster than due diligence can realistically keep up.
- Industrial control systems were built for uptime, not security, and patching them without stopping production is a genuinely hard operational problem, not just a policy gap someone forgot to close.
- Boards are asking for automation and digital transformation on the plant floor at the same pace they are asking for it to be secure, and those two asks usually land on different teams that rarely talk to each other.
How AnnexSys can help
- We secure industrial control systems and OT environments without requiring a production stoppage to do it, working around real operational constraints rather than textbook ones.
- Third party risk programs built to onboard new suppliers fast without skipping the due diligence that actually matters.
- Digital process automation advisory that builds security into the automation project from day one, not bolted on after go-live.
- Compliance Management gives you one place to run control testing across every plant and supplier, instead of a spreadsheet per site that nobody consolidates.
