Cybersecurity for the Manufacturing Sector
Expand Your Capabilities.
Deliver More Value.
Eliminate Hardware Risk.
In today’s manufacturing environments, operational technology (OT) is more connected—and more vulnerable—than ever before. From smart factories to global supply chains, manufacturers face an expanding attack surface across both IT and OT infrastructure. But amidst the shift toward digital transformation, one threat remains dangerously overlooked:
unauthorised or compromised hardware devices.
Why Manufacturing Is Uniquely Exposed
Manufacturers face a perfect storm of cybersecurity challenges:
Legacy equipment that was never designed for modern security
Complex OT/IT convergence, creating new risk pathways
Contractor/vendor hardware with unknown security postures
High-value IP and trade secrets at risk of exfiltration
Unattended or physically accessible systems vulnerable to implant attacks
Traditional cybersecurity tools simply don’t see what’s plugged into your network at the hardware level—leaving
shadow assets, spoofed peripherals, and rogue devices completely undetected.
Zerium’s Hardware-Aware Manufacturing Protection
Zerium helps manufacturers eliminate these blind spots by deploying Sepio’s
Asset Risk Management (ARM) platform, backed by our sector-specific consulting.
Full Asset Discovery Across IT and OT
Identify every connected device—no matter how old, remote, or unmanaged. Sepio’s
Asset DNA fingerprinting creates a physical profile of every asset on your network.
Real-Time Detection of Rogue or Spoofed Devices
Catch threats before they impact production. Sepio detects implants, malicious USBs, and compromised hardware at the moment of connection.
Zero-Trust Enforcement for Devices
Only known, approved devices are granted access to your operational network. Block anything that falls outside your policy—automatically.
Non-Disruptive Deployment
Our platform is agentless and passive. That means
no downtime, no reconfiguration, and no interference with sensitive machinery or production systems.
Use Cases in Manufacturing Environments
Zerium’s consulting and Sepio’s technology are adaptable to a wide range of use cases across manufacturing operations:
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) – Monitor PLCs, sensors, and HMIs for unauthorised changes
Production Lines – Prevent rogue USBs or diagnostics tools from tampering with manufacturing software
Research & Development – Secure prototypes and protect sensitive design data
Third-Party Equipment – Validate hardware brought in by maintenance teams or suppliers
Remote Warehouses and Facilities – Gain visibility across distributed operations
We help protect your
productivity, uptime, and competitive edge from unseen physical-layer threats.
