A running plant is made safe to touch by putting a lock on every energy source and a tag on every lock. Company information deserves the same discipline. We fit the controls, we label what each one holds, and we staff the desk that decides when something gets released. Your maintenance planner should never be the person triaging an alert at four in the morning.
What actually stops an industrial business is quieter than that, and it almost always starts in the office rather than on the floor. These four turn up on nearly every site we are asked to look at, and none of them needs a sophisticated attacker.
Ransomware rarely reaches the machines that turn the shafts. It reaches the machines that hold the schedule, the drawings, the customer orders, and the dispatch notes. Production capacity is intact and completely useless, because nobody can say what to make.
Purchase orders, supplier bank details, and a signature on a variation all move through one inbox. Take that inbox and there is nothing further to break: you simply ask, in a voice the accounts team already trusts, and the money leaves on the next run.
Industrial sites run on people who arrive for a project and leave. Their accounts outlive them, their laptops were never yours, and the badge came back while the login did not. Every site we look at has a handful of these still live.
It runs a license dongle, a twenty year old application, and the only copy of the maintenance history. It has never been patched because nobody dares, and the backup, if there is one, has never once been restored.
Fit the bays you want and leave the others standing. Each line carries its own per-unit monthly rate, and the whole set lands on one invoice. Each bay sheet says what the line covers, what it costs each month, and the point at which its authority stops.
Software on the machines, a single joined record covering the estate, and analysts whose job is to act, not to send a chart round on Monday.
Nothing runs on a machine holding work you cannot lose unless it was approved first. Software nobody signed off does not get a turn, whatever it calls itself.
Protection that lives within the tenant, whether the tenant is Microsoft or Google, alongside training that leaves your staff harder to talk around.
Machines kept patched, browsing kept filtered, Macs kept managed, and the handsets your supervisors approve things on finally watched by somebody.
Locate the sensitive material first. A folder nobody ever located cannot be governed. Rules come after that.
Copies held clear of whatever they cover, plus restores that get run on a rota instead of taken on trust.
It has become normal for a seller to imply that the managed service was built on their own premises. This one was not. Underneath Industry Lock Networks sit commercial platforms chosen for how they behave when a site is under real load. Fortify 24x7 licenses them, and engineers who spend a whole shift inside them run them. A named platform and a phone number that a person answers beats a sealed box.
Detection on the endpoint and autonomous response, over every operating system on this board, Kubernetes nodes included.
Sources correlated and retained, so a finding shows up with its story attached.
Allowlisting for applications, ringfencing, and elevation control, on whichever machines matter most.
Mail security at the mailbox, wired in by API within the tenant. It protects at the mailbox and is not a gateway, so we will not describe it that way.
One agent does the monitoring, the patching, the scripting, the remote hands, and the name filtering.
Running the Mac and iPad estate, once that estate has finished being unmanaged.
Threat defense that runs on the handset itself, across whatever iOS and Android hardware your supervisors use.
Locates the sensitive material, scores how exposed each machine is, and encrypts whatever travels.
Whole disk copies and file copies, taken off a workstation, off bare metal, off a guest, and out of the Microsoft tenant.
The Workspace tenant copied, the Entra ID directory settings copied, and the QuickBooks Online ledger copied.
Nothing here calls for a steering committee. Two weeks tends to cover it, and what takes the time is tuning and not deployment.
Half of one hour on a call. Machine counts, the platforms under them, who holds the administrator accounts, and which loss would genuinely stop dispatch. You walk away with a list of the lines and one figure per month, not a slide deck.
You settle the worklist here. Stripe collects the card details and none of them come to us. Charging is monthly and it happens before the month, under FORTIFY 24X7 on the statement.
Installers and enrollment links turn up in the portal, normally inside the working day. Windows, Mac, Linux, and handsets each go their own way, and not one of those ways puts you inside a vendor console.
The allowlist finishes learning, exceptions accumulate against the filter, and backup windows end up cut to the volumes you genuinely hold. That is the week deciding whether a rollout finishes quiet or noisy.
Findings go to our engineers rather than into your inbox. The portal remains yours: the lines, the installers, and the history of every job raised, and somebody real answers when you use it.
Marketing in this industry likes to promise cover with no gaps anywhere in it. This page will not, because a subscription with no gaps has never been on sale. What follows is the outer edge of what ours honestly reaches, published ahead of the purchase rather than produced afterwards.
Prices arrive from the billing service while the page opens, so the tag and the card cannot disagree. Put the lines you want on the worklist, fix the counts in the panel that slides out, and settle it when the totals look right. The whole worklist becomes a single monthly subscription.
