OT CYBERSECURITY – Manufacturing

Red Trident combines our own advanced tools with leading industry solutions to deliver thorough and efficient asset discovery across your fields. We understand that that many systems are old and haven’t been updated in years sometimes decades. We also understand these systems can’t just be replaced. A large part of our manufacturing services is ensuring we collect the right information in order to recommend the best strategy for you to manage the risk.

Red Trident offers one of the most effective and affordable risk assessment tools available. Our solution helps us quickly review your business processes and clearly measure risk within your environment.

You will receive an easy-to-read report showing the most likely threats you face, how those threats could impact your business, and how your current security controls protect you. We also highlight the dollar value of each control, so you can see how your investment directly lowers your risk. This gives you clear, actionable insights—and helps your team, including your CFO, understand exactly how your security spending is making a difference.

Choosing the right OT Cybersecurity controls for manufacturing is tough—especially when you need solutions that work and fit your budget. Many companies come to Red Trident after realizing their current controls are hard to manage or don’t actually protect them as expected.

At Red Trident, we help you make smart choices by explaining the pros and cons of different security options. We use the latest threat intelligence to show you which risks matter most and where controls will have the biggest impact, whether that’s at a central aggregation point or on a line. Every operation is unique, so we work with you to build the best plan, then support you during design, testing, and step-by-step rollout. With Red Trident, you get security controls that truly fit your needs.

Building a strong OT cybersecurity program can be overwhelming, with so many options and questions to consider. Many organizations jump into technical solutions that don’t last or lack a clear plan to truly reduce risk. Red Trident helps you cut through this confusion by taking a “systems of systems” approach—making sure every solution works together, fits your goals, and adds real value to your operations.

Our modular method breaks down the process into six clear steps:

1. Standards Selection – Choose the right cybersecurity framework for your needs, like NIST 800-82, IEC-62443, ISO27001, or a custom mix.
2. Risk Management Approach – Integrate your existing risk processes, or let us introduce proven industry methods such as FAIR or OCTAVE.
3. Key Roles and Players – Identify and engage the right people early, making sure the program fits both field and leadership teams.
4. Program Development – Guide you through building a clear, effective program that your entire team understands and supports.
5. Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) – Track gaps and future improvements so you can address them over time.
6. Continuous Improvement and Monitoring – Keep your program active and useful, supporting regular testing, incident response, and ongoing security needs.

Red Trident customizes every OT cybersecurity program to your size, business goals, and compliance needs, whether regulatory or internal. Our focus is building lasting protections that keep your most critical operations running—not just checking boxes for compliance. With us, you get a practical, focused plan that manages real risk and helps your team stay secure as you grow.

Whether you have a robust cybersecurity program or are just getting started, Red Trident can be your last line of defense when things go wrong. Our Incident Response service is here to help you prepare and react. We run tabletop exercises to test your readiness, help you build a solid response plan, and can step in as your response team if a breach occurs. With Red Trident, you’re never alone during a crisis—help is always ready when you need it most.
