Cybersecurity for Canadian manufacturers
Production downtime is the most expensive thing a Canadian manufacturer can buy, and ransomware crews price it in. We help industrial operators defend the IT/OT boundary, detect intrusion early, and respond without taking the line down.
Why manufacturing is different
From the 401 corridor through Southwestern Ontario to Alberta's industrial cluster, Canadian manufacturers run a mix of modern enterprise IT and OT environments that were never designed to be on a network. The result is a wide attack surface, real-world safety implications, and a customer base that increasingly requires security attestation as a condition of doing business.
What we see hitting manufacturing hardest
Ransomware against production
A single ransomware event can halt shipments for days. We monitor for the precursors — credential abuse, remote-access tools, suspicious admin activity — that come before encryption.
IT/OT boundary attacks
Attackers pivot from IT into OT through flat networks and shared credentials. We monitor the boundary specifically and help shape segmentation that holds.
Vendor remote access
OEM remote support is a constant source of risk. We help inventory, monitor, and restrict third-party access so a vendor compromise does not become yours.
IP and design data theft
Engineering drawings, CNC programs, and process recipes are valuable. We watch for the exfiltration patterns that precede leaks.
What you have to satisfy
Customer security requirements
OEM and aerospace customers increasingly require NIST 800-171, CMMC alignment, or equivalent attestations from their Canadian suppliers. We help map and meet them.
Controlled Goods and ITAR
Aerospace and defence work brings controlled-information obligations on top of standard privacy. We help build the access controls and monitoring that satisfy auditors.
PIPEDA
Employee and customer personal information falls under PIPEDA, with breach reporting obligations regardless of whether the production environment is affected.
Cyber insurance
Manufacturing has one of the highest-rated risk profiles in cyber insurance. We deliver and document the controls underwriters now expect.
The services that fit manufacturing best
Managed Detection & Response
Continuous monitoring across the IT environment and the IT/OT boundary, with detection tuned for industrial tradecraft.
Vulnerability Management
Risk-based scanning that respects production maintenance windows and prioritizes what an attacker would actually exploit.
Incident Response retainer
A pre-agreed plan that includes OT-aware containment options, so response decisions do not have to balance security against safety on the fly.

Learn moreManufacturing & industrial FAQ
Do you monitor OT environments directly?
We monitor the IT/OT boundary and IT-side telemetry. For deeper OT visibility we partner with OT-specialist platforms and integrate the signals into our 24/7 monitoring.
Can you support NIST 800-171 or CMMC readiness?
Yes. We help map your environment against the controls customers require and build the monitoring and documentation that supports attestation.
What happens if an incident is detected at 3am?
Our analysts triage, contain where pre-authorized, and call your defined contacts with a clear summary and recommended next steps — not a raw alert dump.
