IT and OT
Segmentation, links, management, remote access, monitoring and restoration of critical environments.
Manufacturing & Production
Cybersecurity for manufacturing and production
Kynexis Information Security helps manufacturing companies and industrial organisations to make digital risks around IT, OT, suppliers and continuity transparent and manageable. Research is in line with the production environment and business management.
Your context
Production security starts from a view of digital dependencies
In manufacturing and manufacturing, ERP, MES, planning, quality information, industrial automation and external access come together in one operational chain. A disruption can affect delivery reliability, security, quality and financial performance.
Kynexis Information Security researches technology and organisation in coherence. The approach makes it visible which risks can actually affect production and which measures add the most value to continuity and control.
Digital dependency in practice
Production continuity requires more than a working machine
A machine can function technically and still not receive production instructions, recipes or logistical information when ERP or a network switch fails. That is why we map the links between office automation, ERP and OT and the surrounding dependencies.
Focus areas
Reducing digital risks to manageable choices
The scope is tailored to the organisation, its societal mission, critical processes and digital dependencies.
Production continuity
Critical processes, maximum failure, alternative methods, backup and recovery tests.
Suppliers and maintenance
External access, maintenance parties, responsibilities, incident reports and chain dependencies.
Quality and integrity
Reliable production information, quality data, product integrity and change management.
Governance and digital resilience
Operational direction of technical findings
the board and executive management need to understand the consequences for production, supply, quality and investment. Kynexis Information Security therefore translates technical and organisational findings into operational impact, priorities and clear decision-making points.
Depending on the demand, a baseline assessment, Cybersecurity Assessment, Cyber Security Audit or NIS2 GAP analysis fits. The scope can be deepened to cover OT, external access, recovery power or suppliers.

Practical answers for manufacturing & production
Is OT included in the investigation?
Yes, when OT and industrial automation fall within the agreed scope. Kynexis will evaluate information security, including segmentation, management, access, monitoring, backup and recovery in connection with production.
Does food have its own sector route?
Yes. the food industry have an independent sector page for production, quality, traceability, recipes and chain dependencies.
Is an investigation interfering with production?
The research approach is pre-oriented to safety and continuity. Evidence, interviews and technical research are planned in such a way as to avoid unnecessary impact on production.
Production environments require a view of the interwovenness of IT and OT. A measure is only appropriate when safety, availability and recovery rate are also taken into account.
