Plant security and OT protection for Canadian manufacturers

Perimeter intrusion — metal theft, vandalism and trespass — is constant at industrial sites with long fence lines, multiple gates and unstaffed hours. Reactive guarding alone leaves gaps that thermal cameras and analytics close quickly.

Insider risk grows with workforce size and shift complexity. Material walking out the receiving door, badge sharing and unauthorised after-hours entry into restricted areas are common — and only visible when access logs and video are correlated.

OT and ICS networks are now actively targeted by ransomware actors who know that production-line downtime forces fast ransom decisions. Most plants still run flat networks where a phishing email on a sales laptop can reach a PLC.

Environmental and life-safety risks — gas, temperature, water, dust — sit alongside security. Modern monitoring should detect a freezer rising five degrees just as reliably as it detects a forced gate.

Physical and cyber security from a single team means the people who installed your access controllers are the same people who segment your OT network — closing the gap exploited by most building-system and ICS attacks.

Canadian operations, Canadian monitoring centre and field technicians who understand industrial environments. Your plant manager talks to someone who has been on a production floor, not a call-centre script.
