Manufacturing Cybersecurity Enhancement

Executive Summary

Precision Manufacturing Inc., a leading aerospace component manufacturer with 3 production facilities, required comprehensive cybersecurity enhancement for their industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT) networks.

The Challenge

The manufacturing environment faced unique security challenges:

• Visibility Gap: No monitoring of OT network traffic
• Legacy Systems: Industrial controllers with no security features
• Regulatory Pressure: CMMC compliance requirements for defense contracts
• Risk Exposure: Potential for production disruption from cyber attacks

Our Solution

JSB-Tech designed and implemented a comprehensive OT security framework:

Network Segmentation

• Air-gapped network zones for critical systems
• Secure data diodes for one-way communication
• Jump servers for controlled administrative access

Security Monitoring

• OT-specific IDS/IPS deployment
• Behavioral analytics for anomaly detection
• Integration with 24/7 Security Operations Center

Incident Response

• OT-specific incident response procedures
• Tabletop exercises and training
• Recovery playbooks for critical systems

Results

The security enhancement program delivered:

• Complete Visibility: 100% monitoring of all OT network traffic
• Rapid Detection: 60% faster identification of potential threats
• NIST Compliance: Full alignment with NIST Cybersecurity Framework
• Business Continuity: Zero production disruptions from cyber incidents
