Managed IT Services for Manufacturing
Every minute a line sits idle is product that is not getting made. CyberDuo runs the IT behind the plant and the office, keeps operational technology walled off and watched, and gets a stalled system moving again fast. We work with manufacturers across California, on-site where the machines are.
Manufacturing has been the most attacked industry four years running.
IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence Index 2025
Of all cyberattacks target manufacturing, more than any other sector.
IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence Index 2025
Manufacturing sees the highest volume of ransomware of any industry, because downtime tolerance is near zero.
IBM X-Force, 2025
Attackers target manufacturers because a stopped line gets paid.
Ransomware crews go where downtime is least survivable, and that is your shop floor. Add control systems that predate modern security and designs worth stealing, and a generic IT provider is quickly out of its depth.
Downtime is the leverage
Manufacturing leads every industry in ransomware precisely because a halted line creates pressure to pay fast. Resilience and recovery speed are the whole game.
Your floor was not built to be secure
OT and ICS equipment often predates modern security and cannot be patched on a whim. It needs segmentation and monitoring, not a standard office-IT playbook.
Your designs and contracts are on the line
Trade secrets are a prime target, and if you supply the DoD, CMMC now decides whether you are even allowed to bid.

The standards we build your IT around
We design and document your environment around the standards that apply to your business and your customers. Expand any to see how.
If you sell to the Department of Defense or sit anywhere in its supply chain, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) and the underlying NIST SP 800-171 controls now gate contracts, phasing into DoD solicitations. We assess your environment against 800-171, close the gaps, and keep the System Security Plan and evidence assessors expect, so a contract requirement does not become a lost contract.
DFARS clauses require defense contractors to safeguard Controlled Unclassified Information and report incidents. We build the controls and the documented processes those clauses call for, and segment the systems that handle covered data.
For manufacturers without a defense requirement, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and ISO 27001 are the common languages customers and insurers ask about. We map your program to them so you can answer customer security questionnaires with evidence.
Operational technology needs a different approach than office IT. Guided by IEC 62443 principles, we segment and monitor ICS and shop-floor networks, control remote access to equipment, and protect systems that cannot simply be patched on demand.
Your designs, formulas, and processes are a primary target. We apply access controls, encryption, and monitoring around the data that represents your competitive edge, and tighten the email and file-sharing paths it tends to leak through.
If you handle export-controlled technical data, ITAR and EAR restrict who can access it and from where. We help you control and document access so technical data stays inside the right boundaries.

What changes from one line to the next
How we work with each. Expand the one that fits your operation.
The core case: keep ERP, the network, and the shop floor running, segment OT from IT, and recover fast from ransomware. We handle day-to-day IT and security so production keeps moving.
Defense suppliers carry CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, and often ITAR obligations. We build and document a compliant environment, isolate controlled data, and keep you eligible for the contracts that require it.
High-value IP and precise, sensitive equipment. We protect designs and process data, segment lab and production systems, and keep uptime high where a stoppage is expensive.
Device makers blend manufacturing with quality and regulatory data, and sometimes patient data. We secure the IP and the records, segment production, and support the documentation your auditors expect.
Continuous operations and tight margins mean downtime spoils more than schedules. We keep plant systems available, segment OT, and recover quickly when something goes wrong.
Just-in-time supply chains punish any disruption. We keep your systems and EDI flowing, meet the security requirements OEMs push down, and harden against the ransomware that targets suppliers.
Process manufacturing runs on control systems that must stay available and safe. We segment and monitor OT, secure remote access, and keep the business systems alongside it patched and protected.
You inherit your customers’ security requirements, often several at once. We standardize a strong baseline and help you answer the questionnaires and audits that win and keep contracts.
Long product lifecycles, connected machines, and field service. We secure remote connectivity, protect design and service data, and keep multi-site operations running.
Seasonal peaks and retail deadlines make uptime non-negotiable. We keep production and fulfillment systems available and resilient through your busiest runs.
We speak both office IT and shop floor
Security-led
A cybersecurity-first MSP, so protection is engineered in, not bolted on later.
IT and OT, kept apart
We manage both sides of the plant and keep the business network and the floor properly segmented.
On-site where it counts
Engineers across Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and the Bay Area; monitoring 24/7.
What the first plant walk sets in motion
Assessment
We map your IT and OT, your systems, and the standards your customers require, and show you the gaps.
Plan
A prioritized roadmap, with the uptime- and compliance-critical items first.
Onboarding
We deploy support, segmentation, security, and backup, and document everything as we go.
Ongoing
Rapid-response support, 24/7 security, and quarterly reviews with your vCIO.
Questions from the plant floor
Fast, and with people who can come on-site. We monitor 24/7, prioritize anything that stops production, and put our response targets in your service agreement so the commitment is in writing.
Yes. We assess against NIST SP 800-171, close gaps, build your System Security Plan, and keep the evidence assessors look for, so you stay eligible for DoD work.
Yes. We segment OT and ICS from the business network, secure remote access to equipment, and monitor both, taking the constraints of systems that cannot be freely patched into account.
Yes. Our co-managed model adds security, monitoring, and coverage to your in-house team, or we can run IT end to end across your sites.
Yes. We are headquartered in Glendale and serve manufacturers statewide, from Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego to the Bay Area, Sacramento, and the Central Valley, with on-site support at your facilities.
