Protection, resilience

Cybersecurity for Connected Systems

The more connected a system is, the more it needs to be protected

Strat & IoT supports organizations in securing their connected systems, from assessment (mapping, vulnerabilities) through implementation (hardening, segmentation, detection and response), without ever compromising operational continuity. Our security governance aligns IT and OT teams, with solutions adapted to the real-world constraints of industrial equipment, to protect without ever disrupting operations.

Market context

System security: a specific approach?

IT security protects data confidentiality; OT security protects the continuity of a physical service. The Colonial Pipeline incident demonstrated this in 2021: an attack limited to IT was enough to force the complete shutdown of 8,850 km of pipeline, depriving the U.S. East Coast of nearly half of its fuel for several days. This is why connected cybersecurity requires a specific model, adapted to the constraints of OT.

Cybersecurity for Connected Systems
Roadmap

From Strategy to Scaled Value

1

Assessment

Diagnose ambition, data maturity, operating constraints, and value pools.

2

Strategy

Prioritize the highest-value opportunities, governance, and executive alignment.

3

Implementation

Industrialize architecture, workflows, capabilities, and controls.

4

Optimisation

Measure real value creation and achieve sustainable, continuous improvement.

5

Maintenance

Securing long-term performance through continuous and predictive monitoring

Priority themes

Where does the momentum come from?

1

Hardening the environment

Hardening the environment reduces the attack surface: fewer open doors, fewer risks of intrusion.

2

Detection and response

Detection and response: identify an intrusion in real time and respond before it compromises operations.

3

Security governance

Security governance sets the rules of the game: who decides, who controls, and who is accountable for cyber risks across all connected systems.

Challenge areas

Cybersecurity for Connected Systems
Technology foundations

What are our tools?

The delivery model is built around a concrete set of platforms, operational signals, and transformation capabilities selected to address the specific realities of the mission.

Zero trust SIEM asset discovery secure remote access
Value creation

with a financial, operational and/or strategic benefit

  • Lower cyber risk
  • better compliance posture
  • stronger resilience
Segmentation

By separating IT and OT environments, segmentation reduces the attack surface and protects operational continuity.

Monitoring

Continuously monitoring connected systems means turning every weak signal into an actionable alert, before the threat can spread.

Resilience

Resilience relies on segmentation, detection and response: containing the incident without ever disrupting operations.
