Talk to OTCogniShieldOUR MISSION
Make better OT security
decisions possible.
Help industrial teams understand their environment, prioritise operational risk, and make security decisions they can explain.
Security decisions in a plant must account for people, safety, availability and production. We start with that context, then connect technical observations to a practical assessment, an architecture roadmap and evidence that can be reviewed.

OUR APPROACH
Consulting expertise.
A platform with purpose.
OTCogniShield is being developed from hands-on OT security consulting: risk assessments, zones and conduits, project delivery and audit preparation.
The platform extends that work by helping organise observed assets, register changes, risk decisions and compliance evidence. Consulting establishes the context; the platform is intended to help keep that context useful over time.
