Industrial-Grade IT for Manufacturing Operations
IT Built to Keep the Line Running
Manufacturing environments have unique IT challenges — from OT/IT network segmentation and ERP integrations to protecting intellectual property and meeting CMMC requirements for defense contractors. Gradius handles it all.
OT/IT Network Segmentation
Properly segmented networks that protect your operational technology (SCADA, PLCs, HMIs) from IT threats while enabling secure data flow.
ERP & MES Integration Support
Expert support for SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Epicor, Infor, and other ERP/MES platforms critical to your production operations.
IP & Trade Secret Protection
Data loss prevention, access controls, and monitoring to protect your manufacturing processes, designs, and proprietary data.
CMMC & Compliance Support
For defense contractors, we build and maintain CMMC-compliant environments — protecting CUI and meeting DoD requirements.
IT Challenges in Manufacturing
OT/IT Convergence Risk
Connecting shop floor OT systems (SCADA, PLCs, HMIs) to IT networks creates significant security vulnerabilities if not properly segmented.
Ransomware Halts Production
Manufacturing is the most targeted industry for ransomware — a single attack can shut down production lines for days or weeks.
Complex ERP Environments
Manufacturers depend on complex ERP and MES systems that require specialized IT expertise to maintain, integrate, and troubleshoot.
CMMC & Regulatory Requirements
Defense contractors face CMMC requirements — meeting them requires significant IT investment and ongoing compliance management.
