Redbot Security delivers senior-level, manual ICS/SCADA testing designed to uncover real attack paths, strengthen critical infrastructure, and protect operations without disrupting uptime.
Traditional IT-focused testing methods are inadequate when it comes to OT and industrial control environments. These systems were designed for deterministic performance and operational continuity, not adversarial resistance. With legacy PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, proprietary protocols and limited segmentation, the risk isn’t just data loss, it’s physical disruption, regulatory exposure, and public-safety consequences. Further complicating matters, federal cyber defense resources are stretched, making third-party expertise a strategic necessity. Our approach begins where IT assessments often stop: deeply rooted in ICS knowledge, process awareness, and reliability.
We integrate two authoritative frameworks into every engagement: the Purdue Enterprise Reference Architecture (which maps your OT/IT ecosystem into layers and conduits) and the NIST Special Publication 800‑82 (the U.S. government’s guide to OT security).
Architectural Discovery & Mapping – We build a layered inventory aligned with the Purdue model (Levels 0-4), identify data flows and trust boundaries, and focus on the conduits where adversaries may traverse.
Segmentation & Conduit Validation – We test the effectiveness of your firewalls, DMZs, vendor tunnels and remote access paths to determine whether systems are truly isolated or vulnerable to pivoting.
Protocol & Control-Plane Testing – With utmost care for operational safety, our senior engineers perform manual testing on critical ICS protocols and control devices (Modbus, DNP3, OPC/UA, EtherNet/IP, etc.), verifying whether an attacker could cross from enterprise IT into process control.
Threat Modeling & Exploitation – Guided by NIST risk principles, we simulate realistic adversary journeys from IT compromise to OT impact, mapping scenarios that matter most to your organization.
Reporting & Remediation Road-map – Our deliverables don’t just present vulnerabilities. We provide proof-of-concepts, prioritized remediation tied to process/physical impact, and realistic timelines that respect maintenance windows, regulatory constraints and operations-first environments.
Redbot Security performs high-assurance ICS/SCADA testing led exclusively by senior U.S. engineers who understand both cybersecurity and operational realities. Our manual methodology ensures accurate, safe results while providing complete visibility across IT and OT domains. We prioritize reliability, regulatory alignment, and real-world relevance, delivering actionable recommendations that help critical-infrastructure operators reduce risk, improve resilience, and enhance operational continuity.
If your control systems matter to public safety, operations or regulation, don’t treat security as an afterthought. Engage with a team that understands the stakes and has the seniority and domain expertise to deliver meaningful results. Contact Redbot Security today to schedule your ICS/SCADA testing inquiry.
