Hardening an OT network for a food-grade manufacturing plant

Plants where PLCs share the office VLAN — often with default camera credentials still in place — are commonly flagged in customer audits as a single-laptop-from-downtime risk. The fix is structural rather than a single configuration change.

Representative scenario. Specific named engagements and references are shared privately with serious prospects after a site walk.

A typical hardening pass segments OT and IT networks, vaults per-device credentials, applies dual-custody access to the server room, and backs up the HMI historian offsite — the architecture pattern customer audits expect to see.

What this kind of deployment changes.

After Lunarlink

Segmented, credentialed, and audit-ready.

What the architecture looks like once the deployment is in place.

  • OT VLAN firewalled from office traffic
  • Per-device camera and PLC credentials in a password vault
  • Dual-custody access to the server room with logged entries
  • Hourly HMI historian backup to offsite storage
