Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Attackers have long focused on email and endpoints, but now they are increasingly targeting the identity layer that controls access to those resources. The new approach is subversive and highly effective: By compromising identities, threat actors can gain access to Microsoft 365, SaaS applications, devices and administrative functions without tripping the same alarms that traditional attacks trigger.

Why generic IT endpoint tools fail on the plant floor, what HMI and SCADA workstations actually need and how to build OT-appropriate endpoint protection. For plant security leads, OT engineers and industrial CISOs. OT endpoint protection combines anti-ransomware, antivirus, EDR, vulnerability assessment and patch management deployed on the PC-class endpoints inside an industrial environment, primarily HMI workstations, SCADA servers, engineering workstations and historians.

Quick answer: What is manufacturing cybersecurity compliance? Manufacturing cybersecurity compliance is the process of aligning a manufacturer’s security controls, documentation, backup practices, incident response workflows and reporting with relevant cybersecurity standards or client requirements. For MSPs, the goal is not to act as legal counsel.

For service providers, understanding the difference is critical. Clients in regulated sectors increasingly ask for infrastructure that can support compliance, jurisdictional control and local hosting requirements.
