Today, OT organizations are on the front line of the war on cybercrime.
Attacks are on the rise. Hackers are quick to exploit the vulnerabilities of providers of essential national public services such as power, utilities, healthcare, critical infrastructure, and transport.
As well as being financially costly, these attacks have the potential to cause serious harm to both public health and vital social services.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Cybersecurity in OT and manufacturing focuses on protecting industrial control systems, production lines, robotics, and connected equipment from cyber threats. These environments blend digital systems with physical processes, meaning attacks can cause operational disruption or safety risks. Effective protection must account for both cyber and physical impact.
Many OT and manufacturing systems rely on legacy protocols and equipment that were not designed with security in mind. Patching and system upgrades are often limited due to uptime and safety requirements. This creates opportunities for attackers to exploit gaps without triggering traditional security controls.
CounterCraft deploys realistic decoy assets that reflect OT systems and connected infrastructure. When attackers interact with these assets, their behavior is captured without exposing real production systems. This provides early detection and actionable intelligence before operations are affected.
Yes. CounterCraft is one of the best ways to protect ICS. It supports deception configurations that mimic ICS components and industrial processes. This allows the platform to detect reconnaissance, lateral movement, and malicious activity aimed at control systems. Detection occurs without interfering with live OT operations.
Deception technology redirects attackers into isolated environments instead of real production systems. Any interaction with these assets signals genuine malicious activity. This gives security teams early warning while reducing the chance of production disruption. Find out how deception powers preemptive cybersecurity with a demo.
Yes. CounterCraft integrates with SIEM, SOAR, and incident response workflows commonly used in OT security operations. Threat intelligence from attacker interactions can be shared to support investigations and response. This enhances visibility without adding operational complexity.
CounterCraft is one of the only deception vendors that can be deployed in hours, not weeks. Once deception assets are configured to reflect the OT environment, CounterCraft begins collecting intelligence immediately. Security teams can receive early alerts soon after deployment. This supports faster detection without long tuning cycles.
Manufacturing security teams, OT engineers, plant managers, and SOC analysts benefit directly from early detection. Incident response teams gain clearer insight into attacker behavior. Leadership benefits from reduced operational risk and improved uptime.
Security controls must operate alongside production systems without introducing downtime. Deception-based detection allows organizations to identify attackers without modifying live equipment. This enables protection while maintaining operational continuity.
Cyber incidents in manufacturing can halt production, damage equipment, and impact safety systems. Even short outages can result in significant financial and operational losses. Early detection is critical to limit these impacts.
Ransomware often targets manufacturing by moving laterally toward production systems. Detecting this movement early allows teams to contain attacks before encryption begins. Deception-based intelligence provides visibility into these behaviors before damage occurs.
