Legacy System Security Hardening
Industrial facility operating critical SCADA systems built on Windows XP and Server 2003 with no security patches. Systems originally designed for air-gapped isolation now require remote access for operational efficiency, creating severe cybersecurity exposure.
- 1
Comprehensive Assessment
Complete inventory of hardware (PLCs, RTUs, servers), software versions, network architecture, and stakeholder interviews to identify vulnerabilities and operational pain points.
- 2
Strategic Hardening Plan
Tiered proposal with options ranging from foundational cybersecurity (network segmentation, OS upgrades) to transformational modernization (new SCADA platform, secure mobile access).
- 3
Phased Implementation
Network segmentation with firewalls and DMZs separating IT/OT, server virtualization for fault tolerance, and high-availability architecture deployment.
- 4
Continuous Protection
Ongoing vulnerability monitoring, patch management, and security posture assessments to maintain resilient operations.
