Who We Are
Beacon Security is an OT cybersecurity consulting firm focused exclusively on industrial control systems. We assess, design, implement, and monitor security for the systems that run critical infrastructure.
What Beacon Security Does
We provide cybersecurity consulting exclusively for operational technology: the PLCs, SCADA systems, DCS platforms, safety controllers, and industrial networks that run physical processes. We do not offer IT security services, and we do not retrofit IT methodologies for OT.
Industrial operations cannot tolerate security controls that introduce latency, disrupt real-time processes, or compromise safety functions. Our engineers design and implement protections that work within the constraints of 24/7 production, scheduled turnarounds, and safety-rated environments.
Every engagement maps to IEC 62443 and the specific regulatory landscape of the facility. We deliver actionable findings with remediation plans tied to maintenance windows and capital cycles, not theoretical recommendations disconnected from operational reality.
Problems We Address in Industrial Cybersecurity
These are the most common cybersecurity challenges facing industrial organizations today. Beacon Security has direct experience addressing each of them.
Legacy Systems with No Patch Path
Controllers running Windows XP or end-of-life firmware with known CVEs, deployed in environments where rebooting means stopping production.
Flat Networks Connecting IT to OT
Digital transformation projects bridging enterprise networks directly into control system zones, often without firewalls or segmentation between them.
Uncontrolled Remote Access
Vendor VPN tunnels running 24/7 with shared credentials, providing direct network paths into SCADA and DCS systems with no session monitoring.
Unknown Assets on the Network
Engineering teams estimating device counts while undocumented laptops, rogue wireless bridges, and forgotten test equipment sit on production networks.
Safety Systems on Shared Infrastructure
Safety Instrumented Systems sharing network segments with basic process control, allowing a compromised HMI to potentially reach safety controllers.
Workforce Security Gaps
Operators with full PLC access using shared accounts, unrestricted USB ports, and no formal training on recognizing cyber threats to control systems.
OT Systems Experience
Our team has assessed and hardened controllers from every major industrial automation vendor. We understand the security characteristics of each platform and how they differ across protocols, architectures, and firmware.
OT Security Solutions
We deploy and tune the platforms built specifically for OT visibility and threat detection. Our recommendations are vendor-agnostic, driven by what fits your protocols, network topology, and operational requirements.
Our Standards Expertise
From the Founder
I built Beacon Security because the industrial world deserved better than recycled IT security wrapped in a new label. Every time I saw an OT environment being assessed with tools and thinking designed for corporate networks, I knew something had to change. So we built a team that lives and breathes industrial cybersecurity. Engineers who understand process control, who know why you never touch a safety system during a batch run, and who can design a security architecture around operational reality, not against it. What makes us different is simple: we don't adapt IT solutions for OT. We build OT-native security from the ground up. Our team combines hands-on industrial experience with advanced threat intelligence tailored specifically to control system environments. We are not here to check a compliance box. We are here to make sure your operations stay safe, stay running, and stay ahead of the threats that most security firms are only beginning to understand.
10+ Years of OT Cybersecurity Experience
Our team brings direct experience with industrial control systems: configuring PLCs, troubleshooting SCADA communications, and deploying security controls in live production environments. Every engagement is delivered by OT cybersecurity professionals, not repurposed IT consultants.
Our delivery team combines hands-on control systems experience with IEC 62443 and GICSP certifications. When we assess your environment, we understand what we are looking at and why it matters to your operations.
OT Security Specialists
Deep experience with Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider, and ABB platforms. We understand the protocols, architectures, and operational constraints that shape effective OT security.
IEC 62443 Practitioners
Certified to deliver zone and conduit modeling, security level assignments, and gap assessments against the full IEC 62443 standard series.
Attack-Informed Approach
We study real OT attack campaigns like TRITON, Industroyer, and Pipedream. Our assessments test for the techniques threat actors actually use against industrial targets.
Cross-Regional Experience
Active engagements across the Middle East, Europe, and South Asia with working knowledge of OTCC, ECC, NIS2, CRA, DESC ICS, and NCIIPC regulatory requirements.
