OT Cybersecurity for the Industrial Sector

Assembly lines, PLCs, control systems: manufacturing relies on automated production chains where every minute of downtime carries a direct cost. It’s also one of the sectors hardest hit by industrial ransomware, as shown by the attacks on Norsk Hydro and, more recently, Jaguar Land Rover. 

Sector-specific challenges 

• Critical production continuity: a line shutdown can cost millions of euros per day at the largest sites. 

• Heterogeneous, legacy controller fleets, with PLCs and SCADA systems 15 to 30 years old that cannot be patched without operational risk. 

• Exposed intellectual property: manufacturing recipes, business logic, industrial blueprints. 

• Poorly suited IT solutions: firewalls and active scanners can generate massive false positives and crash legacy controllers, and require regular updates. 

How Seclab protects your industrial environments 

Designed to meet 24/7 availability requirements, the Seclab Xcore platform supports growing cyber maturity without ever interrupting production. Xplore continuously maps PLCs, SCADA systems, and industrial flows to maintain an up-to-date inventory of the industrial fleet, eliminate shadow assets, and detect anomalies or attacks. Xchange physically isolates critical zones based on a zones-and-conduits logic (IEC 62443), and Xport neutralizes USB risk, one of the leading infection vectors in industrial environments. Xchange and Xport require no maintenance operations or updates to remain secure over time. Set and Forget Security. 

Xchange is an effective alternative to data diodes or network diodes, enabling low-latency transfer of connected flows (TCP) without requiring the addition of proxies.
