Industrial and mining companies consistently rank as the top target for cyber-attacks. The mix of remote operations connected technologies and IT/OT convergence creates a large and complex attack surface that is hard to defend and expensive to recover.
SmileIndustrial provides a layered approach to cybersecurity protection. From OT and SCADA security and network segmentation through to 24×7 threat monitoring and regulatory compliance, our security team understand industrial operations, delivering fortified protection around the clock.
Your IT environment covers the business systems your people use every day: networks, servers, cloud platforms, email, and applications. Your OT environment covers the systems that run your operations: SCADA platforms, PLCs, industrial control systems and supervisory networks.
Historically, these two environments were kept separate. Today, they are increasingly connected, and that convergence creates new attack surfaces. Legacy OT systems that were never designed with cybersecurity in mind are now reachable from corporate IT networks, and the vulnerabilities that result are being actively targeted.
Managing the intersection of IT and OT requires genuine expertise in both. Most providers understand one or the other. We understand both.
From risk assessments through to 24×7 monitoring and incident response, we cover the full scope of cybersecurity for industrial environments. Our services include:
Security for SCADA, PLCs and industrial control networks, built for the availability and safety demands of live production.
Endpoint protection, network security, identity management and threat detection across your business IT environment.
Segmentation between IT and OT that limits how far an attacker can move, closing the pathway most industrial breaches use.
Round-the-clock monitoring and response, combining remote coverage with on-site capability for regional operations.
We find the weaknesses across IT and OT before attackers do, with clear findings and support through remediation.
Rapid response with the ability to mobilise on site, not just remotely, for the fastest path back to normal operations.
We assess you against the Essential Eight, SOCI Act and other frameworks, then build a practical roadmap to close the gaps.
Targeted training for operational and site-based teams, addressing the most common entry point attackers use.
Attackers go where downtime is expensive and systems are hard to patch. That describes most resource and industrial sites.
Ransomware works because stopping production costs more per hour than the ransom. Recovery capability is your best defence against that maths.
Operational equipment runs for decades. When it cannot be patched, it has to be isolated and monitored instead.
Critical infrastructure obligations, client audits and insurer requirements all now expect evidence, not intentions.
Start with an assessment of your current posture across IT and OT, and a clear plan for what to fix first. Get in touch below, or call us on 1300 414 003.
