Overview

Converged IT/OT Defence

Attackers no longer stop at the office network. They move from email and identity into historian servers, engineering workstations, and PLC networks. In energy and trading, a breach on either side of the IT/OT boundary can stop production, freeze a desk, or compromise safety systems.

Innovation Hub designs cybersecurity for that boundary. We secure enterprise IT — identity, endpoints, cloud, and trading platforms — industrial OT — SCADA, DCS, SIS, and terminal automation — and connected IoT fleets as one operating model, not disconnected vendors.

IT controls follow ISO 27001 and NIST CSF. OT controls follow IEC 62443 and NIST 800-82. IoT programmes cover device identity, firmware integrity, and fleet telemetry into a single SOC — with playbooks your IT and operations teams can run together.

Impact

Client Success Stories

Measured results from IT/OT programmes in energy, trading, and industrial operations.

87%

Threat Detection Improvement

For a major national oil company, our SOC transformation reduced mean time to detect (MTTD) by 87% within six months of engagement.

M

Avoided Breach Cost

Proactive red team exercise exposed critical vulnerabilities in a commodity trading platform, preventing an estimated M in potential losses.

100%

Compliance Achievement

Guided a Middle East refinery operator through ISO 27001 and IEC 62443 certification with zero non-conformities at first audit.

Trust

What Our Clients Say

"They treated IT and OT as one problem. Identity, the trading LAN, and the control network were finally on the same risk picture."

Chief Information Security Officer
National Oil Company, Middle East

"The red team crossed from email into our engineering workstation path. That IT-to-OT exercise closed gaps our IT-only tests never reached."

Head of Technology
Commodity Trading Firm, Dubai

"The SOC watches terminals and the corporate estate together. We no longer wait for OT alarms to be translated by a separate IT ticket."

Director of Operations

Approach

Our Methodology

1. Discovery & Scoping

We inventory IT assets, OT assets, data flows, and crown jewels across both planes, then agree a threat model that includes ransomware, insider paths, and process-safety impact.

2. Risk Profiling

Quantitative and qualitative risk analysis using FAIR methodology and sector-specific threat intelligence to prioritize security investments with maximum ROI.

3. Architecture & Design

Zero-trust network architecture, segmentation strategies, and defense-in-depth designs tailored for converged IT/OT environments.

4. Implementation & Hardening

We deploy IT controls (identity, EDR, email, cloud) and OT controls (passive sensors, unidirectional gateways, jump hosts) with change windows agreed with operations.

5. Continuous Operations

Ongoing SOC support, threat hunting, vulnerability management, and incident response retainers ensuring your security posture evolves with emerging threats.

Security Methodology

FAQ

Common Questions

IT tools alone cannot safely monitor PLCs, safety systems, or proprietary industrial protocols. OT-only programmes often miss identity, email, and remote-access paths that attackers use to reach the plant. We secure both planes and the connections between them.

We maintain a global compliance framework that maps controls across ISO 27001, NIST CSF, IEC 62443, GDPR, and regional regulations. Our approach enables 'comply once, satisfy many.'

Our incident response team is available 24/7 with guaranteed 1-hour response times for critical incidents. We provide forensic analysis, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident reporting.

Yes. Legacy OT is core to the work. We use passive monitoring, segmentation, and compensating controls so ageing SCADA and DCS can be protected without the patch cycles used on IT endpoints.
