OT SOC Deployment
Our OT SOC Deployment service establishes dedicated security monitoring capability for your industrial environment. We design and implement the people, processes, and technology required for continuous visibility into OT network activity and effective threat detection.
Continuous OT Security Monitoring
Point-in-time assessments and audits provide a snapshot of security posture. Continuous monitoring provides the ongoing visibility required to detect attacks before they cause operational disruption. For OT environments, this requires purpose-built technology that understands industrial protocols and does not introduce latency or risk to real-time control systems.
Our OT SOC Deployment service establishes the technology, detection logic, and processes needed for effective, ongoing security monitoring of your industrial environment, whether integrated into an existing enterprise SOC or operated as a standalone OT monitoring capability.
OT Monitoring Platforms
We are platform-agnostic and work with leading OT monitoring solutions:
24/7 Visibility
Purpose-built monitoring that understands industrial protocols and process context
Engagement Methodology
A structured, phased approach designed for the safety, availability, and compliance requirements of operational technology environments.
Maturity Assessment
Evaluate existing monitoring capabilities, SIEM coverage, log collection, and SOC team capacity. Establish a maturity baseline against industry frameworks to identify the highest-impact capability gaps for OT visibility.
Monitoring Architecture Design
Design a purpose-built OT monitoring architecture specifying sensor placement at zone boundaries, IT/OT DMZ, and critical segments. Define SPAN port configurations, TAP locations, data flow paths, bandwidth requirements, and storage sizing — ensuring zero impact to real-time control communications.
Sensor Deployment and Integration
Deploy passive OT monitoring sensors during scheduled maintenance windows with rollback procedures at every step. Connect sensors to the central monitoring platform — dedicated OT console, enterprise SIEM, or hybrid — and validate all data ingestion pipelines.
Baseline Establishment
Perform passive asset discovery across all monitored segments. Catalog every device and map industrial protocol conversations in detail. Establish a behavioral baseline of normal communication patterns, data flows, and traffic volumes per zone.
Detection Engineering
Build environment-specific detection rules across three categories: signature-based detection mapped to MITRE ATT&CK for ICS, behavioral anomaly detection against the established baseline, and policy-based detection for unauthorized cross-zone traffic or rogue devices. Tune thresholds to minimize false positives.
Runbook Development
Design SOC workflows covering the full alert lifecycle: triage, investigation, escalation, containment, and resolution. Develop OT-specific runbooks for critical alert categories with clear escalation paths between SOC analysts, control systems engineers, and plant operations.
Knowledge Transfer and Handover
Deliver structured training for SOC analysts on the monitoring platform, alert investigation, and industrial protocol analysis. Hand over all architecture documentation, detection rule libraries, runbooks, and a continuous improvement framework with baseline recalibration schedules.
