Securing the future of manufacturing with Managed Solutions.
In today’s manufacturing landscape, security is no longer an option—it’s a necessity. Cyber threats like ransomware, malware, and data breaches pose unprecedented risks to operational continuity, intellectual property, and regulatory compliance. At Managed Solutions, we understand that protecting your systems, data, and networks is paramount, especially as industries adopt smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 technologies. Our commitment is unwavering: we empower our customers to achieve the highest standards of security and compliance, safeguarding their operations against even the most sophisticated threats.
The stakes have never been higher.
A single USB device plugged into a CNC machine can introduce malware, brick critical equipment, or compromise sensitive data, as outlined in our exploration of CNC machine security. Legacy systems, often running outdated operating systems, amplify these risks, while compliance frameworks like CMMC 2.0 demand rigorous protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). We tackle these challenges head-on with innovative solutions like OT-Max, a hardened gateway that filters file transfers, encrypts communications, and isolates machines from external threats—ensuring your shop floor remains both productive and secure. Learn more about its role in CMMC 2.0 compliance and secure CNC connectivity.
At Managed Solutions, our software integrations elevate security to new heights.
Beyond hardware, our software integrations elevate security to new heights. By pairing CIMCO MDM (and MDC) with Active Directory, we centralize authentication and enforce role-based access, ensuring that only authorized personnel interact with critical manufacturing data. Discover how this integration works in our guide to CIMCO MDM and Active Directory. Air-gapping CIMCO software offers an additional layer of defense, shielding your systems from network-based attacks while maintaining operational efficiency through controlled, secure file transfers. Read more about this strategy in our air-gapping article. These strategies not only mitigate risks but also align with the most stringent regulatory specifications, giving you peace of mind in an era of escalating cyber threats.
At Managed Solutions, our approach is holistic.
From securing legacy RS-232 equipment with CIMCO DNC-Max—detailed in its role as Industry 4.0 middleware—to future-proofing your operations with OT-Max’s planned USB support, we bridge the gap between yesterday’s technology and tomorrow’s standards. We prioritize data integrity, network isolation, and auditability—key pillars that protect your intellectual property and maintain compliance. Whether it’s ransomware like Black Basta or insider threats, our tools and expertise are designed to keep your manufacturing environment resilient and trustworthy.
