The Collision of Two Worlds

The "air gap" that used to protect manufacturing floors is gone. Modern factories are connected to ERP systems, cloud analytics, and remote maintenance tools. While this increases efficiency, it exposes sensitive Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to internet-borne malware that can cause physical damage.

Securing the Physical Layer

1-SEC understands the unique requirements of the shop floor: no reboots, no high-resource usage, and support for aging protocols.

Passive Monitoring for Legacy Assets

Many factory machines are too old to run security agents. 1-SEC can run as a network bridge, passively analyzing traffic for anomalies without ever touching the sensitive legacy hardware it protects.

Identifying the "Kill Chain" in OT

Attackers follow a specific pattern in OT: discovery, pivot, and then command injection. 1-SEC identifies these phases early—like an unrecognized IP attempting a "Force Listen" command on a PLC—and alerts the floor manager before production is impacted.
