Solution Brief | Check Point for Manufacturing

Stop Threats Before They Stop Production

Secure the paths into production across IT, OT, and remote access - with one platform to enforce, govern, and prove policy. Manufacturing carries a particular kind of risk: when something gets through, the damage does not stay digital. It can disrupt output, raise safety concerns, and trigger compliance issues - fast. And the pressure is rising: manufacturing is the most targeted industry for ransomware, with average ransom demands reaching $1.16 million. In that environment, resilience comes down to enforceable control - without disrupting production.

What Disruption Looks Like

• 146% Increase in cyberattacks with physical impact
• ~$400K Cost of unplanned downtime per hour
• 1585 Avg. weekly attacks per manufacturer
• Maintenance windows are limited - known vulnerabilities stay open for weeks or months.
• Vendor remote access is always on - one compromise can reach production.
• IT-OT boundaries aren’t enforced consistently - zone boundaries weaken over time.
• Each plant evolves differently - rules drift plant by plant and proof gets harder.

The Gaps Attackers Rely On

Stop Attack Paths, Not Production

We secure the paths that matter most - into production, across plant environments, and through third-party access - with enforceable control, not visibility alone. Built on a Hybrid Mesh architecture, our platform gives you one place to control policy across IT, OT, and external access, so control stays consistent across sites while enforcement adapts to local realities. The result is tighter control, reduced exposure, and greater operational resilience - without redesign, tool sprawl, added complexity, or production disruption.

The Critical Paths We Control

• IT-to-OT Boundary Protection - control what can cross into OT. Allow only approved IT-DMZ-OT connections. Enforce boundary segmentation and application control, with IPS where enforced, and audit-ready visibility into activity.
• Zero Trust Remote Access - control who gets in and where. Give vendors/OEMs access only to the OT assets and apps they need. Apply ZTNA-based access so compromised credentials don't become production reach.
• Production Floor Micro Segmentation - control how far issues can spread. Enforcement boundaries inside OT so issues stay local. Allow only required flows between zones/cells using protocol-aware enforcement (DPI) and allow-only policy.
• Virtual Patching - control risk when patching isn't possible. Reduce exposure on always-on OT systems with virtual patching - IPS protections - without touching the machine or waiting for maintenance windows.
