Where IT meets operational technology
Connect IT and OT without taking systems down.
Your PLCs, SCADA systems, and HMIs don't work like the computers in your office, and your cybersecurity program shouldn't treat them like they do.
The problem
What you're up against.
The air gap is already gone
Operational systems once isolated are now connected to corporate networks, ERP, the cloud, and vendor remote access, each a new way in.
OT can't just be patched
70% of the OT vulnerabilities CISA flags have no patch available, so they have to be contained instead.
Generic security breaks operations
Tools built for office IT can knock operational systems offline if they're pointed at the wrong place.

What's included
What you get.
-
OT segmentation and Purdue Model architecture
Network design that separates operational systems by zone and conduit.
-
Industrial asset discovery and inventory
You can't protect what you can't see, so we map it first.
-
OT vulnerability management
Continuous tracking against CISA ICS advisories.
-
Secure remote access
Controlled access for vendors and engineers, scoped and logged.
-
24/7 OT monitoring and response
Eyes on industrial systems around the clock.
What sets it apart
- IT and OT security in one conversation one team designs both sides of the network, instead of an IT vendor and an OT vendor working from different playbooks
- Engineers who respect uptime changes scheduled around your production windows, not whenever's convenient for us
- Built on industrial standards, not office checklists Purdue Model and IEC 62443 architecture, not a firewall rule copied from a standard office deployment
Common questions
IT/OT Convergence, answered.
- What is IT/OT convergence?
- Connecting operational technology, like PLCs, SCADA, and HMIs, with your business networks and the cloud, securely, so the two sides work together without opening the plant floor to attack.
- Our OT systems can't be patched. What then?
- Most OT vulnerabilities have no patch available, so we contain them instead, through segmentation, an industrial DMZ, and controlled remote access, rather than forcing updates that break production.
- Will securing OT disrupt production?
- No. We schedule changes around your production windows and use OT-safe methods, not office-IT tools pointed at equipment that can't tolerate them.
- What standards does NBIT follow for OT?
- Purdue Model architecture and IEC 62443, not an office firewall configuration copied onto the plant floor.
More of what we do
- Managed IT We own your technology end to end, so one team is accountable for all of it.
- Co-Managed IT Depth, tooling, and after-hours coverage behind the internal team you already have.
- Cybersecurity Layered defense and 24/7 monitoring built for operations that can't pause to recover.
- Cloud Computing Azure and Microsoft 365, migrated around your ERP instead of a generic timeline.
- Business Continuity A backup and recovery plan that gets tested, not just written down.
