OT cybersecurity and IT/OT integration that strengthen network boundaries, manage access, and connect digital decisions to plant reliability.
OT Cybersecurity Support
A connection added for maintenance or data sharing can expose a control system to new risks. Texas Engineering Consulting provides OT cybersecurity support to review those connections, assess vulnerabilities, and prioritize improvements based on the consequences for people, equipment, and plant operation.
Based in Houston, we help Gulf Coast operators connect operational technology (OT) with information technology (IT) through controlled interfaces and clear responsibilities. Our approach combines process knowledge with network separation, access reviews, and integration planning, keeping safety, reliability, and continuity central to engineering decisions.
OT Risk Assessment
Review control system assets, connections, and vulnerabilities against their potential impact on process safety and operational continuity.
Network Segmentation
Define network boundaries and permitted communications to support separation between business systems, control environments, and critical assets.
Access & Remote Support
Review user privileges, vendor connections, and remote access arrangements against operational needs and defined responsibilities for oversight.
IT/OT Integration
Plan controlled data exchange and system interfaces, aligning operations and IT around ownership, change management, and support.
From Assessment to Action
Effective OT security starts with understanding how the plant operates and how its systems connect. We translate assessment findings into practical priorities, defined responsibilities, and an implementation plan that accounts for your operating constraints.
- System Overview — A record of critical assets, connections, data flows, and operating dependencies.
- Exposure Priorities — Identified weaknesses assessed against process risk, operational consequences, and existing safeguards.
- Architecture Recommendations — Proposed network boundaries, communication paths, and access controls for review.
- Integration Plan — Agreed data flows, system interfaces, and responsibilities across operations and IT.
- Implementation Roadmap — Prioritized actions, testing considerations, and ownership for tracking agreed improvements.
