OT Incident Response
for Critical Infrastructure

A cyber event in your industrial environment is more than just an IT problem, it interferes with operations, safety, and more.


Our OT-first incident response helps you contain threats, return to uptime, and uncover what really happened—with expert guidance and specialized tools built for the job.

When Control Systems Are Under Fire,
You Need More Than an IT Playbook

Traditional incident response methods can fall flat, or cause harm, in OT environments.
The wrong move could interrupt operations, violate safety constraints, damage critical assets, or result in regulatory issues.

 

Our approach is tailored to the challenges you’re facing, because our team has been in your shoes. We understand the legacy systems, the industrial protocols, the methods attackers use, and how critical these systems are to operations.

The challenges IT teams may face in OT environments:

 

  • Limited logging on OT devices

  • No endpoint agents allowed

  • Flat networks with minimal segmentation

  • Complex vendor access and remote interfaces

  • Regulatory reporting timelines

Industrial cyber incidents, handled with precision

Our team is ready to bring the tools and knowledge to help you resolve and recover from incidents. 

 

Core Response Capabilities

 

  • Rapid Threat Containment
    Work side-by-side with your team to isolate impacted systems without taking down operations.

  • OT-Capable Forensics & Analysis
    We use our proprietary Valkyrie platform to collect and parse data from control systems, field devices, and industrial protocols—no agents, no disruption.

  • Root Cause Investigation
    Determine what happened, how it happened, and what it touched.

  • Threat Hunting & Scope Validation
    Identify lateral movement, command & control behavior, and persistence mechanisms across your ICS network.

  • Remediation & Recovery Support
    Help bring systems back online safely, with forensic evidence preserved and lessons applied, while also helping monitor for additional threats.

  • Regulatory & Stakeholder Reporting
    We support your compliance team with clear, timely documentation aligned to NERC CIP, TSA, EPA, and other relevant mandates.

Powered by people and purpose-built tools

We’ve trained for this and tested our skills in real environments. We know what’s at stake, and are ready with an arsenal of tools and knowledge to give you faster answers to make more informed decisions. 

 

  • Deep OT Expertise – Industrial-focused responders with backgrounds in control systems, not just cyber.

  • Passive Forensics Tools – Built to safely extract data from switches, HMIs, controllers, and engineering workstations.

  • Protocol-Aware Analysis – We understand Modbus, DNP3, IEC 104, and more, and know what an abnormal function code looks like.

  • Evidence-Driven Results – Everything we do is logged, documented, and ready for internal or regulatory review.

When to call our team

Not every alert is a crisis, but every minute counts when it is. 

  • You see unusual activity in your SCADA or DCS network

  • Systems are behaving abnormally, but you’re not sure why

  • You’re dealing with ransomware or suspected extortion

  • Remote access was misused—or left open too long

  • A regulator is asking hard questions after an event

  • You’re preparing for or recovering from a tabletop exercise and want to improve

  • You want to verify before calling in a large retainer 

 

Even if you’re just suspicious, our team can help you quickly figure out what’s real and what’s just noise.
