Offensive OT Validation

Controlled adversary simulation across IT/OT boundaries to prove controls hold under pressure.

What it is

Industrial security is often measured by tooling and policies. We measure it by outcome. This service emulates real attacker behavior to validate segmentation, remote access, identity paths, and monitoring effectiveness across converged IT/OT environments.

  • Adversary emulation aligned to MITRE ATT&CK for ICS.
  • Controlled scope and safety-first execution.
  • Evidence-backed findings with retest validation.

What we validate

  • IT→OT pivot paths and trust boundary weaknesses.
  • Remote vendor access. Jump hosts. Bastions.
  • Engineering workstations and privileged identity paths.
  • Segmentation enforcement and zone escape attempts.
  • Ransomware propagation risk and blast radius modelling.

How it works

  1. Scope & safety constraints. Define OT-safe test windows and no-go systems.
  2. Threat modelling and emulation plan. Pick realistic attacker goals and paths.
  3. Controlled execution across agreed surfaces. Collect evidence and telemetry.
  4. Kill-chain narrative with ATT&CK for ICS mapping.
  5. Remediation workshop and validation retest.

Prove Segmentation

Validate zones, conduits, and remote access controls using real pivot attempts.

Reduce Blast Radius

Model how far ransomware or an intruder can spread. Then close the paths.

Make Tools Matter

Confirm whether monitoring and detections trigger. Improve what doesn’t.

Pricing

Engagement-based. Priced by scope size, safety constraints, and required reporting depth. Available as a quarterly validation program for continuous assurance.

FAQ

Q: Will testing impact operations?
A: Testing is safety-first. We use controlled techniques, agreed windows, and strict constraints to avoid disruption.

Q: Do you test PLCs directly?
A: Only when explicitly approved and safe. Most value is found validating access paths, segmentation, identity, and remote connectivity.
