Guard Cyber Security is a collection of products and services that look after the network and information security for Operational Technology (OT) – in other words, technology that controls physical processes. Such technology is generally connected to a complex infrastructure with many different attack vectors. Therefore, the risk profile of these systems tends to differ significantly from traditional Information Technology (IT).

As a result of the different requirements placed on OT and IT systems, their respective needs for information security are also very different. This is further underscored by the recent increase in cyberattacks specifically targeting operational technology.

Guard delivers cybersecurity solutions tailored to industrial environments and OT networks. Our solutions are aligned with the latest requirements from both NIST and the NIS2 directive, and are built on the principles of the Zero Trust approach.

Guard is an independent supplier of automation and system integration with in-depth expertise across a wide range of industrial technology platforms, communication solutions, and OT security. This puts us in a unique position to safeguard the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of your industrial data.
