Manufacturing and Engineering
Smarter IT solutions for engineers and manufacturers.
Bridging IT & OT gaps for secure, seamless manufacturing operations
Manufacturing operations are complex, with a delicate interplay between IT and OT systems. At Syscomm, we recognise that gaps in infrastructure—whether through outdated legacy systems, lack of contextual information, or poor interoperability—can expose your organisation to significant risks.
Our comprehensive solutions are designed not only to secure your network but also to identify and bridge these gaps, ensuring seamless operations and robust protection of your critical and sensitive data.
Identifying and addressing critical gaps
Gaps in your infrastructure can lead to operational vulnerabilities:
Legacy Infrastructure Gaps
Outdated systems often lack the capabilities of modern technology, leading to inefficiencies and exposing your network to security threats. Our modernisation strategies replace or integrate legacy systems with contemporary solutions, ensuring improved performance and reduced risk.
Interoperability Challenges
When disparate systems do not communicate effectively, essential contextual information may be lost. This can create blind spots in your network, preventing timely detection of issues. We focus on developing interoperable solutions that ensure your IT and OT systems work in harmony, providing a unified operational picture.
Contextual Information Deficiencies
Without a clear, integrated view of your operational data, gaps in situational awareness can arise. Our centralised management platforms offer comprehensive dashboards that consolidate data across your network, ensuring that your IT team has the contextual insights needed to make informed decisions.

Securing IT and OT environments
A robust security framework is essential to mitigate risks from these gaps.
Network segmentation
We design networks that segregate critical OT systems from IT environments, preventing vulnerabilities in one area from compromising another.
Advanced threat detection
Continuous monitoring and real-time analytics allow us to identify and address security threats before they impact production, reducing the risk posed by information gaps.
Data confidentiality and compliance
Ensuring that critical production data, proprietary designs, and intellectual property remain secure is paramount. Our solutions incorporate encryption, secure communication protocols, and strict access controls to maintain data integrity and compliance with industry standards.
Enhancing operational continuity and efficiency
Bridging gaps is not only about security – it’s about ensuring operational resilience.
High availability and redundancy
We implement redundancy and disaster recovery solutions that guarantee operational continuity, even when unforeseen gaps or disruptions occur.
Real-time analytics and insights
Our integrated reporting tools provide actionable insights, enabling your team to monitor system performance and respond swiftly to emerging issues. By consolidating data across IT and OT, we help eliminate the gaps that can lead to delayed responses and increased downtime.
Unified management platforms
Centralised dashboards and management platforms offer comprehensive visibility over your entire network. This unified approach ensures that any interoperability issues or contextual deficiencies are quickly identified and addressed.
Seamless networking & support for built environments
Manufacturing networks must adapt to evolving challenges:
- Gap Analysis and Continuous Improvement: We conduct thorough assessments to identify and rectify gaps in your infrastructure, ensuring that both your IT and OT systems are optimally integrated and secure.
- Rapid Response and 24/7 Support: Our managed services provide continuous monitoring and rapid incident response, minimising downtime and supporting your operational goals even when gaps are detected.
- Scalable Solutions: As your manufacturing operations grow, our solutions evolve to address new challenges, ensuring that any emerging gaps are swiftly and effectively managed.
