Cyber Security Solutions for IT/OT Convergence
Advancing Cybersecurity and Threat Detection in Operational Technology (OT)
Between the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Industry 4.0, and the Smart Factory, cyber security has become increasingly important not just for information technology (IT), but for operational technology (OT) as well.
One of the most important areas is the IT/OT alignment – the integration of classic IT systems with their OT counterparts. The harmony of these systems is essential to maintaining industrial cyber security and protection for any type of business, including oil & gas, life sciences, food and beverage, and beyond.

Why Cyber Security Solutions Matter to Every Business
Whether you’re operating in pharmaceuticals, energy, food and beverage, or advanced manufacturing, robust cyber security measures are essential for protecting uptime, compliance, and ultimately, your bottom line.
That’s why cyber security is no longer just an IT issue. It’s a critical business imperative.
As you advance toward smarter, more connected operations, aligning IT and OT systems presents an opportunity to strengthen cyber resilience across every layer of your operations. Rather than working in silos, a unified approach simplifies visibility, improves threat detection, and reinforces compliance efforts, making it easier to secure both digital data and physical processes.
At Orise, our cyber security solutions designed specifically for industrial environments are built on decades of automation and digitalization expertise. We unify your systems, identify vulnerabilities, and provide insight into your operational landscape so you can stay ahead of cyber threats.
Cyber security protects data, but also ensures safe, reliable, and compliant production across your entire business.

Orise Provides IT/OT Alignment for Cyber Security
With many years of experience in IT/OT system integration across the automation pyramid, Orise is the leading independent complete , end-to-end automation and digitalization solutions to the process and manufacturing industries. Our approach emphasizes industrial cyber security solutions with a focus on converging your IT and OT systems to maximize your peace of mind.
We offer a comprehensive range of different industrial cyber security solutions, including assessment, design, implementation, and monitoring. Here are just a few examples:
Monitoring
The continuous observation of your systems and networks to ensure optimal performance, detect anomalies, and identify potential cyber threats in real time. By increasing reliability and security through automated anomaly detection, real-time alerts, and corrective actions, monitoring ensures that risks can be identified and mitigated before they escalate into larger problems. Orise provides greater visibility into your OT environments, helping safeguard both systems and data from malicious activities and unauthorized access.
Privileged Access Management (PAM)
An important layer of endpoint security and zero trust strategy, Privileged Access Management (PAM) helps secure, monitor, and control access to critical systems. Orise offers session monitoring and recording, as well as secure remote support, to ensure that access is tracked and only granted to trusted users under strict protocols. This helps reduce the risk of data breaches, ransomware, or insider cyber threats by ensuring that sensitive systems aren’t exposed to unnecessary or unverified access.
Backup + D/R
Backup and Disaster Recovery (D/R) solutions are essential for operational resilience. They include the design, configuration, and testing of backup systems, ensuring that critical data and software can be quickly restored in the event of a cyberattack, or system failure. Orise also provides secure software deployment practices to further minimize disruption. These solutions help production facilities automate their incident response and recovery plans, keeping operations running smoothly and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
Industrial Control Systems (ICS)
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) security focuses on protecting critical infrastructure in process manufacturing industries like beverages, energy, or pharmaceuticals. Orise’s ICS security solutions include IEC62443 certification, patch management, antivirus and malware protection, system hardening, and staff training. These services ensure that your control systems are resilient against exploit attempts and phishing attacks, while tools like KIPS (interactive protection simulation) help train your workforce in defending against evolving threats. It’s a holistic approach to securing your OT operations.
Vulnerability Management
Vulnerability Management is the proactive process of identifying, evaluating, mitigating, and reporting security vulnerabilities in your network and systems. By regularly scanning your environment and applying patches or configuration changes, Orise helps you stay ahead of emerging cyber threats. Effective vulnerability management not only strengthens your security posture but also reduces the attack surface available to threat actors, helping to prevent data loss and business interruption.
Security Operations and Best Practices
Strengthening industrial cyber resilience requires security operations built on best practices and layered defenses. Cybersecurity solutions designed for IT/OT environments combine firewalls, authentication controls, and MFA (multi-factor authentication) with identity and access management to reduce the risk of cyberattacks. Regular security assessments help identify vulnerabilities, while advanced threat detection and intrusion prevention systems provide continuous protection. These measures not only protect your business but also ensure compliance, reliability, and safety across interconnected IT and OT networks.
Specification Design
Specification Design focuses on building secure and scalable IT/OT network architectures. This includes defining requirements for infrastructure, virtualization, segmentation, and secure access protocols. Orise ensures that your system design integrates seamlessly with your industrial environment while enabling easy deployment and future scalability.
Orise is certified in virtually all industrial automation cyber security standards, especially those that relate directly to IT/OT alignment in manufacturing facilities or enterprises. Our team has partnered with the vast majority of DCS/PLC vendors (level 2 in the OT landscape) and possesses excellent OT industry knowledge.
This is thanks to our core business, IACS engineering (industrial automation and control systems). Most importantly, we cover the full lifecycle of delivery – beginning with engineering and implementation all the way to after the sale.

Industrial Cyber Security Solutions: Protecting your network security from cyber threats
Industrial cyber security, which is often referred to as industrial control systems cyber security or ICS cyber security, is the key element to protecting the operational effectiveness of any manufacturing business.
Preventing third-party attacks (such as unauthorized access or data breaches), system vulnerabilities, and simply even operator error goes a long way toward protecting the future of any organization. Combining ICS IT security with OT devices allows manufacturers to stop the disasters and expenses that come along with plant shutdowns and slowdowns, whether due to ransomware, malware, phishing, or other malicious activities.
This is where a comprehensive and holistic range of industrial control cyber security measures from Orise come into play. Technical subject matter experts work with teams throughout the entire lifecycle of a project – from the moment research begins and lasting long past final implementation.
These Orise team members have extensive experience in cyber and ICS information security consultation, navigation, and implementation, making the entire process as simple as possible for clients.
