Cybersecurity for Manufacturing: Protect Your Floor, Your Data, and Your Deadlines
A ransomware attack on a manufacturing facility doesn't just steal data — it stops production. At $10K–$100K per hour of downtime, a single breach can end a business. B-ARMOUR secures both your IT and OT environments so your line keeps running.

OT systems (SCADA, PLCs, HMIs) were never designed for cybersecurity. IT/OT convergence creates hidden attack surfaces. Most manufacturers have no IT staff and no incident response plan.
With OT systems increasingly connected to the internet, the attack surface has never been larger.
IT vs. OT Risk Comparison
| Risk Area | IT Systems | OT Systems |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Asset | Data | Physical operations |
| Attack Impact | Data loss, downtime | Production halt, safety risk |
| Common Threats | Phishing, ransomware | SCADA exploits, lateral movement |
| Compliance | HIPAA, SOC 2, NIST | NIST 800-171, CMMC, HB 1351 |
| Recovery Time | Hours–days | Days–weeks |
