Why it’s time for an urgent rethink in manufacturing cybersecurity
The facts are brutal, but inarguable. Manufacturing has become the number one target for ransomware, as criminal groups have recognized that the sector cannot afford disruption.
Beyond the direct financial impacts of downtime, when production goes offline for longer periods, sales, the brand, supply chains and even regional economies are hit.
Attackers know security in manufacturing is playing catch-up: where industrial control systems and operational technology were originally deployed on air-gapped networks, the autonomous robotics increasingly critical to operations need 24/7 connectivity.
Facing these risks, industry leaders are having to rethink their approach to cybersecurity solutions for manufacturing to protect critical systems 24x7. Nipper OmniSight provides this capability, offering continuous exposure monitoring to maximize resilience.
Readiness: Enable the transition to pre-emptive cybersecurity
Nipper solutions help manufacturers accelerate the shift from reactive threat management to pre-emptive threat exposure prevention. Instead of responding to network incursions, Nipper solutions show where and how networks are currently at risk, so you can address exposures before manufacturing network security is compromised.


Minimize ransomware disruption and reduce loss risk
Our device level analysis makes it harder for ransomware groups to access your network, shrinking the attack surface by proactively addressing misconfigurations, software vulnerabilities and weak credentials. And with Nipper OmniSight, you can also ensure that Zero Trust and Least Privilege Access (LPA) policies are being enforced to minimize the disruption a breach could cause.
Prioritize critical threats to manufacturing IT infrastructure
The sheer range of threats to manufacturing cybersecurity makes it impossible to address them all. Nipper solutions apply a risk-based approach, alerting you to the critical vulnerabilities, like potential disruption to production or operational technology (OT), as well as exploitability and ease of fix. Then you can prioritize remediation.


Resilience: Respond to exposures and compromises faster
With Nipper OmniSight (Continuous), you’ll see the exposure and compromise impact of every configuration change on the entire network, authorized or unauthorized, in near real-time. You can assess it immediately, spot potential industrial espionage and shut down exposures to mission-critical systems before they cause disruption.
Accelerate recovery to minimize the impact of attacks
If critical manufacturing systems are compromised, businesses need to act fast to minimize downtime. Both Nipper OmniSight (Integrated) and Nipper OmniSight (Continuous) can sync with a configuration management database (CMDB) to enable rapid restoration to defined recovery objectives.


Achieve and assure compliance with key standards
Use Nipper solutions to streamline compliance with essential manufacturing cybersecurity frameworks including NIST and, for US government suppliers, CMMC 2.0. Our dedicated solutions help you accelerate assessment and provide clear details of non-compliance before external audit. Nipper OmniSight also supports the shift to resilience engineering and continuous cyber risk management.

Nipper solutions support cybersecurity for manufacturers by reducing risk, increasing resilience, accelerating response to threat exposure and enabling faster recovery from any compromise.
Exceptional accuracy to see what others miss
Nipper solutions reveal the configuration-based risks to industry 4.0 manufacturing that other tools cannot assess, so do not see.
Increased readiness and resilience to ransomware
Use Nipper solutions to detect the misconfigurations and conflicting policies that ransomware groups are known to target. Then follow device-specific remediation guidance.
Protection for the most secure environments
Because Nipper solutions operate without network connectivity – assessing configuration files – they can be used to spot risks in air-gapped environments that support operational technology (OT).
Faster compliance
Pre-built frameworks for assessment against CIS benchmarks and NIST standards reduce audit times by 80% and provide clear evidence of compliance.
Zero Trust segmentation assurance
Nipper OmniSight reinforces cybersecurity for industrial control systems, by confirming whether devices are correctly enforcing Zero Trust segmentation and Least Privilege Access policies.
CMDB integration for network resilience
Nipper OmniSight (Continuous) can help compare actual versus planned network change by syncing with your CMDB – strengthening resilience and invaluable for network monitoring and detecting potential industrial espionage.

Frequently asked questions
Got a question? Here are answers to some typical questions we get asked about manufacturing network security, but if there’s something else you want to know, please contact our experts.
-
Nipper solutions don’t protect the OT manufacturers rely on directly. Instead, they focus on the IT networks that underpin the OT infrastructure. By pinpointing exposures and LPA compromises on OT segments, Nipper solutions helps eliminate potential OT attack paths and reduce the attack surface.
-
Nipper OmniSight provides Zero Trust segmentation and least privilege access monitoring for business-critical segments, confirming whether devices are correctly enforcing your policies. By combining this with pre-emptive exposure assessment Nipper OmniSight can reinforce manufacturing network security with a real-time, adversary-aware picture of how resilient the network truly is.
-
Our solutions don’t protect autonomous systems directly; they focus on the networks that support those systems and are making them accessible to outside threats. By pinpointing vulnerabilities in those networks – from misconfigured switches, routers and firewalls to rule conflicts – Nipper solutions help eliminate potential attack paths and the resulting disruption to manufacturing operations.
-
Vulnerability management is well-suited to devices with relatively static configurations like servers and endpoints. But network devices are highly configurable, so benefit from the in-depth analysis that Nipper solutions can provide to spot misconfigurations and align these to the latest tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by attackers targeting manufacturing.
-
Policy management solutions check whether network devices are enabling applications like ERP and MRP to connect securely across your network, but don’t check whether those devices themselves are secure. So if the device had a weak password, all data passing between applications would be vulnerable. Nipper solutions identify this.
-
Yes, both Nipper OmniSight (Integrated) and Nipper OmniSight (Continuous) can create visual representations of your network, including air-gapped segments, based on the device configurations stored in a CMDB. Nipper OmniSight (Continuous) can also populate a CMDB if you don’t already have one.
-
Yes. You can use the configuration collector in Nipper OmniSight (Continuous) to populate a CMDB. Or you can use Nipper OmniSight (Standalone), which uses the configurations you upload to provide a point-in-time assessment, but does not offer the continuous network monitoring that is increasingly viewed as integral to effective cybersecurity for manufacturing.
