OT Cybersecurity Assessment
Operational technology breaches don’t just steal data; they halt production lines, disrupt utilities, and put safety at risk. As a trusted Penetration Testing Company, Packetlabs delivers OT/ICS Cybersecurity Assessments that uncover weak segmentation, legacy protocols, and vulnerable PLCs across your industrial environment. Using a non-disruptive approach tailored for live operations, we reveal the exact pathways an attacker could exploit to move from IT to OT and compromise critical systems.
Your three‑step path to industrial‑grade security:
Scope and Discover: During our kick‑off call, we will discuss asset lists and white‑box architecture, and map out every critical device and data flow.
Test Like an Adversary: Passive scanning and controlled assessment reveal attack paths to critical ICS components while keeping processes online
Plan and Fortify: Our executive‑level report, root‑cause analysis, and walkthrough session give you a clear, priority‑tagged plan to harden defenses and meet compliance.
Protect uptime, worker safety, and regulatory standing before attackers find the same gaps first.

Service Highlights
Live-Fire Training. Real OT Threats Simulated.
Packetlabs delivers live-fire training scenarios that safely simulate advanced adversaries targeting your OT environment. These exercises test your incident response across people, processes, and technology, without risking production downtime. Why it matters: OT incidents don’t just steal data, they disrupt operations and put safety at risk. By training your teams under realistic conditions, you strengthen detection, response, and resilience before a real attacker tests them for you.
The Packetlabs Commitment
Improve the Bottom Line
New endpoints and data sources create novel vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, traditional network security often can’t accurately map these risks, especially when security isn’t standardized across facilities. This is particularly troublesome in organizations where OT-run factories are the primary source of revenue. Here, an impact to OT is an impact to the bottom line.
Our OT cyber services are designed to enhance safety and resiliency by helping you identify your business-specific OT risks
Live-Fire Training
At Packetlabs, we provide live-fire training scenarios through threat simulation, improving detection and response capabilities and the organization's readiness against attacks. Assess the effectiveness of enterprise incident response, people, processes, and technology against an advanced adversary attempting to gain access to sensitive information or critical assets.
Competitive Advantage
On average, companies take about 197 days to identify and 69 days to contain a breach– according to recent reports by IBM. Stay ahead of the competition by ensuring that your processes, people, and technology are in place.
Beyond Automated Testing
While automated scanners scrape the surface, Packetlabs’ expert-led penetration tests probe the logic, business workflows, and chained exploits that scanners routinely overlook. Leveraging manual exploitation techniques, threat-intel-driven scenarios, and creative lateral thinking, our team exposes high-impact vulnerabilities competitors miss and translates them into clear, fix-ready guidance. The result is a much higher assurance level than conventional "smash-and-grab" pentests that help you sleep better at night.
Why Conduct an OT Cybersecurity Assessment?
Identify Networking Gaps
Understand accessibility in and outside of your OT environment, and pinpoint networking gaps that could lead to unauthorized access
Gain Insight Into Security Controls
The majority of OT devices do not have default security controls, making it vital to get insight into OT-specific compensating controls
Prevent Devastating Outcomes
Outages, stolen information, and financial losses are just some of the ways an OT breach can impact organizations–stop breaches before they start
Safeguard Critical Infrastructure
Protect the safety and reliability of critical infrastructure– such as factories, power plants, and water systems – from potential cyberattacks.
Resources
ICS/OT Security Methodology
An assessment simulates the likelihood of an attacker reaching the control centre from an external and internal perspective and can help identify vulnerabilities and prioritize remediation efforts to reduce risk.

Penetration Testing Methodology
Our Penetration Security Testing methodology is derived from the SANS Pentest Methodology, the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and the NIST SP800-115 to uncover security gaps.
