GrayMatter Cyber & Network Infrastructure
Strategy for Operational Technologists
HOW IT WORKS
We understand the unique challenges faced by manufacturers & critical infrastructure environments.
Our Operational Technology (OT) Cyber and Network Infrastructure Offering is designed to address these challenges and provide comprehensive solutions that ensure the security and resilience of your critical systems.
Our offering is built on three pillars: Assess, Accelerate, and Actualize, and it caters to customers who require a deep understanding of their risks, additional people for security implementation, and ongoing program maintenance post-deployment.
ASSESS
Industrial Risk Assessment
Our expert team conducts a thorough evaluation of your OT environment, identifying vulnerabilities, threats and risks unique to your manufacturing and critical infrastructure systems.
Gap Analysis & Risk Mitigation
We provide a detailed report outlining existing gaps & vulnerabilities, along with a comprehensive roadmap to mitigate these risks. GrayMatter rates your risks to uncover low dollar, high risk impact.
Compliance Assessment
We ensure that your systems meet industry-specific regulations and standards, offering insights into achieving and maintaining compliance.
ACCELERATE
OT Security Workforce Augmentation
We provide highly skilled personnel experienced in manufacturing and critical infrastructure environments to work alongside your team or lead security projects.
Customized Security Solutions
We design and implement tailored OT security solutions, integrating advanced technologies and tools while maintaining the operational integrity of your systems.
Incident Response Planning
Prepare your organization for rapid response to cyber incidents with custom incident response plans that minimize downtime and protect critical assets.

Top 6 OT Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities
01 | Over-reliance on air gap
Typically, OT systems have been segregated from the company’s network IT by an air gap. Oftentimes air gaps are not regularly audited, scanned or veri ed to ensure lack of connectivity.
02 | Lack of training
Many organizations have not put policies or procedures in place to help employees and vendors consistently utilize good security practices.
03 | Poor network segmentation
Organizations often do not effectively utilize the concepts of zones and conduits. By limiting access and egress to specific zones, incidents can be better contained.
04 | Poor incident response
Often, documented steps for responding to and containing an incident are limited or worse, non-existent.
05 | Poor passsword practices
Strong corporate password protection policies are not always carried over to the OT environment. Operators and administrators may have the same user names for various shifts.
06 | Absence of notification or detection
How does an organization know when something is wrong?
