The IT challenges it support for manufacturing companies face
ERP and MRP system reliability
Manufacturers rely on ERP systems like SAP, Sage, and Microsoft Dynamics, and MRP systems for production planning. If these systems are unavailable, production stops. We ensure your business-critical systems run on reliable, high-availability infrastructure.
Shop floor connectivity
Modern manufacturing requires connectivity between shop floor machines, IoT sensors, and business systems. We design network solutions that connect your production environment securely and reliably.
Industry 4.0 and IoT
Smart manufacturing uses IoT sensors, real-time data, and analytics to optimise production. We help manufacturers implement Industry 4.0 technologies with secure, scalable infrastructure.
Intellectual property protection
Manufacturers hold valuable IP — product designs, processes, and trade secrets. This data is a target for industrial espionage and cyber attacks. We implement security controls that protect your competitive advantage.
Supply chain collaboration
Manufacturers collaborate with suppliers, customers, and partners — sharing drawings, specifications, and production data. We implement secure collaboration platforms that protect your IP while enabling efficient supply chain operations.

Sub-sectors we support:
The specific cyber threats targeting your sector
Industrial espionage
Manufacturers hold valuable intellectual property — product designs, manufacturing processes, and trade secrets. Competitors and state-sponsored actors target this data for industrial espionage and competitive advantage.
Ransomware targeting production systems
Ransomware attacks on manufacturers can halt production lines, disrupt supply chains, and cause significant financial losses. Attackers know that production downtime is costly and time-pressure increases willingness to pay.
Supply chain attacks
Manufacturers are part of complex supply chains where a security breach at one organisation can compromise partners and customers. Supply chain attacks are increasingly common and difficult to detect.
OT/IT convergence risks
The convergence of operational technology (OT) and IT creates new security risks. Production systems that were once isolated are now connected to corporate networks, creating pathways for attackers to reach production environments.
