Securing Operational Technology: Protecting Your Critical SCADA & ICS Environments

In the world of Industrial Control Systems, a security failure isn't just a data breach—it can be a safety incident, a production shutdown, or a disruption to critical infrastructure. As IT and Operational Technology (OT) converge, your SCADA systems are more connected and more exposed than ever before. Feisty Fox Security provides specialized security assessments designed for the unique challenges of OT environments. We bring our ethos of discretion and deep technical expertise to help you identify and mitigate the risks that could impact your physical operations.

Who Is This Service For?

This highly specialized assessment is critical for:

  • Plant Managers and Operations Directors responsible for ensuring operational uptime, safety, and output.

  • CISOs and Security Leaders at industrial, manufacturing, or utility organizations tasked with governing risk across both IT and OT.

  • Control Systems Engineers who manage and maintain the SCADA and ICS infrastructure.

  • Compliance Officers who must adhere to stringent industry-specific regulations (e.g., NERC CIP, ISA/IEC 62443).

We Address the Core Concerns of Industrial Operations:

Our SCADA Security Assessment provides clarity on the questions that matter most in your environment:

  • Could a cyberattack cause a physical disruption or shutdown of our plant?

  • Are our safety instrumented systems isolated and protected from manipulation?

  • How vulnerable are our legacy systems that were designed before modern cybersecurity threats?

  • What is our true level of exposure from connections between our corporate (IT) and industrial (OT) networks?

Our Methodology: Safety and Precision First

We understand that OT environments are not IT data centers. Our methodology prioritizes safety, stability, and operational continuity above all else.

  1. Architecture Review & Passive Discovery: We begin with a thorough review of your network architecture diagrams and data flows. Our initial discovery is performed using safe, passive techniques to map your environment without sending a single disruptive packet.

  2. Controlled & Coordinated Active Testing: Any active testing is meticulously planned and scheduled in close coordination with your engineering and operations staff, often within planned maintenance windows. We treat your operational environment with the extreme care it demands.

  3. Specialized Vulnerability Analysis: We identify vulnerabilities specific to industrial hardware and protocols, including PLCs, HMIs, and industrial network communications (e.g., Modbus, DNP3, S7).

  4. Reporting Focused on Operational Risk: Our findings are translated from technical vulnerabilities into tangible operational risks, providing clear, prioritized recommendations for mitigation.

Your Deliverables: A Blueprint for OT Resilience

You will receive a comprehensive package designed to empower both your leadership and your engineering teams:

  • Executive Operational Risk Report: A non-technical summary of the key findings, focusing on potential impacts to safety, production, and regulatory compliance.

  • Detailed Technical Remediation Plan: A guide for your engineers with specific, actionable steps to mitigate each identified vulnerability.

  • OT Network Security Architecture Review: Recommendations for improving network segmentation and implementing defensible zones between IT and OT.

  • Confidential Debriefing Session: A secure meeting with all stakeholders to discuss the findings and ensure a clear path forward.
