WEBINAR SERIES: Invisible by Design: Your OT Blueprint for 2026  

Cyber Security & SOC-as-a-Service for UK Manufacturing

Why Manufacturing Is a Prime Target for Cyber Attacks

Manufacturers are increasingly targeted by threat actors due to their reliance on operational continuity, legacy infrastructure, and growing digitalisation. Cybercriminals, state-sponsored actors, and hacktivists see manufacturing as a soft target due to:

  • Legacy OT systems not designed for cyber resilience
  • Flat networks without segmentation
  • Increasing interdependence between IT and OT
  • A lack of visibility across assets and threat surfaces

Attacks like ransomware, supply chain infiltration, and IP theft can bring production to a standstill. In a just-in-time world, that kind of disruption is not an inconvenience, it’s a critcal risk.

Why UK Sovereignty and IT/OT Clarity Matter

Most cyber security solutions stop at the IT layer. e2e-assure’s approach is different. We provide end-to-end visibility, detection, and response across your entire industrial estate.

Our SOC-as-a-service is:

  • 100% UK-based and UK-staffed with SC/NPPV3-cleared analysts
  • Fully compliant with IEC 62443, NIS2, and CAF frameworks
  • Powered by our SaaS platform CUMULO, integrating IT and OT telemetry into one unified security view
  • Designed for non-disruptive deployment in legacy OT environments

We speak the language of your plant and factory, not just your firewall.

Why Manufacturers Choose e2e-assure

Trusted Defence for Industrial Environments

With over a decade of experience securing industrial and critical infrastructure, our services are tailored to:

  • Minimise downtime by passively collecting OT telemetry without touching production systems
  • Monitor key industrial protocols (Modbus, OPC-UA, DNP3, MQTT)
  • Detect anomalies across control zones, DMZs, and cloud integrations
  • Deliver business-relevant triage: identifying not just what happened, but how it impacts production, safety, and compliance

What Sets Our UK-Based SOC Apart

Common CNI Issues

Legacy OT networks have limited visibility and outdated security controls.

Manufacturers face cyber threats that cross from IT into OT.

Security tools often lack context about operational assets.

e2e-assure’s Solution

e2e-assure’s Unified Threat Detection brings end-to-end monitoring with zero impact on operations.

Our SOC tracks adversaries across the entire kill-chain using unified telemetry and correlation.

We group assets by process/zone and tag them with safety and business impact to inform better decisions

Can you monitor both IT and OT environments?

Yes. Our service unifies detection across both environments using our platform and protocol-aware OT sensors.

Do your analysts understand industrial protocols?

Absolutely. We monitor Modbus, DNP3, OPC-UA, MQTT and more.

Will your service disrupt our operations?

No. Our solution is non-invasive and designed to operate within industrial constraints. We deploy on virtual, bare-metal or cloud infrastructure with minimal footprint.

Do you support regulatory compliance?

Yes. Our platform supports CAF, NIS2, IEC 62443, and provides the reporting needed for audits and enforcement actions.
