Cybersecurity and managed IT for manufacturing

Cybersecurity built around the OT/IT crossover and the controls your cyber insurer keeps tightening.

Manufacturing is now one of the top ransomware targets in the country. Attackers know that production downtime is expensive and that most manufacturers can’t afford to wait two weeks for an IT recovery. Connected equipment, OT/IT convergence, and legacy systems create the kind of gaps that attackers specifically hunt for. Techsico IT delivers cybersecurity built around the operational realities of manufacturing environments.

Cyber insurance renewal is the forcing function. Here’s what your underwriter is asking about.

Modern manufacturing environments blend operational technology, PLCs, SCADA systems, CNC machines, and sensors, with standard IT infrastructure like ERP systems, email, and cloud applications. That convergence is efficient. It is also a security problem. A ransomware attack that hits your IT network can now propagate to production equipment. An unpatched machine on the shop floor can be the entry point attackers use to reach your financial systems.

Most small and mid-size manufacturers don’t have dedicated IT staff, let alone OT security expertise. They rely on aging systems that were never designed to be connected to the internet and haven’t been patched in years. Techsico IT brings a practical, operations-first approach to securing manufacturing environments, protecting production continuity without disrupting the floor.

What we deploy for manufacturing firms



OT/IT Network Segmentation

The most effective way to protect production equipment is to segment your OT and IT networks so that a compromise in one can’t reach the other. We design and implement network segmentation that isolates your shop floor systems without interrupting the data flows your operations depend on.

Ransomware Protection & Production Backup

Immutable backups of your ERP data, machine configurations, and production records with tested recovery procedures. When ransomware hits, and for manufacturers it’s a when, not an if, we minimize downtime and avoid the ransom payment that funds the next attack.



Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)

We deploy EDR across every Windows workstation and server in your environment, including engineering workstations and systems connected to production equipment. Behavioral-based detection stops ransomware and other threats that signature-based antivirus misses entirely.



Vulnerability Assessment

We scan your IT environment to identify unpatched systems, misconfigurations, and exposed services, and prioritize remediation based on actual risk to production continuity. Legacy systems that can’t be patched get compensating controls so they don’t become easy entry points.



CMMC & NIST CSF Alignment

Defense contractors and suppliers to federal programs must meet CMMC requirements. We help manufacturers assess their current posture against CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 requirements and NIST CSF, implement the needed controls, and document compliance for contract eligibility.



Managed IT & 24/7 Monitoring

Production doesn’t stop at 5 PM, and neither does our monitoring. We provide 24/7 security monitoring and managed IT services for manufacturing environments, with alert escalation procedures designed around production schedules, shift changes, and the operational priorities of your specific facility.

Who we serve

We work with small and mid-size manufacturers in Oklahoma and the surrounding region across a range of industries, light manufacturing, fabrication, plastics, food processing, electronics assembly, and industrial suppliers. We also serve defense suppliers and government contractors who need CMMC-aligned security programs.
