MANUFACTURING
Secure xIoT devices across modern manufacturing environments
End-to-end xIoT security for manufacturing operations — securing connected devices from PLCs, HMIs, and industrial controllers to building systems, cameras, BMCs, and production infrastructure.
The state of manufacturing device security
Rapidly expanding OT environments.
Unprecedented device diversity.
Critical operational risk.
Modern manufacturing environments rely on thousands of connected operational systems — from PLCs and HMIs to robotics, industrial controllers, sensors, and facility infrastructure.
Traditional security tools lack visibility into these complex OT environments — leaving critical production systems exposed, unmanaged, and difficult to secure at scale.
70% of xIoT devices ship with default credentials
35% of xIoT devices were previously unknown
40% of xIoT devices run with misconfigurations, including exposed network services and insecure setting
Why manufacturing environments are hard to secure
Manufacturing environments rely on a complex mix of connected operational systems — from PLCs, HMIs, and robotics to industrial controllers, cameras, BMCs, and facility infrastructure. Many of these assets fall outside traditional IT visibility, creating blind spots attackers can exploit.
From default credentials to insecure configurations and unsupported systems, security teams struggle to maintain consistent visibility and control across production environments.
Unknown devices
Unmanaged OT, ICS, and industrial devices remain invisible to traditional security tools.
Weak credentials
Default and shared passwords increase risk across manufacturing environments.
Outdated firmware
Legacy industrial systems often run unsupported or vulnerable firmware.
Insecure configurations
Misconfigured controllers and OT devices introduce operational risk.
Unsupported assets
End-of-life manufacturing systems create security and compliance gaps.
Expired certificates
Certificate issues disrupt secure industrial communications and operations.
How Phosphorus helps
How Phosphorus secures manufacturing environments
Discover & assess
Safely discover, classify, and assess all xIoT devices in minutes, with no expensive hardware, SPANs, TAPs, or packet brokers.
Harden & remediate
Automatically remediate xIoT device vulnerabilities, including credentials, firmware, certificates, & risky configurations.
Monitor & manage
Continuously monitor and manage all xIoT devices, while detecting and responding to device drift.
What you can secure across manufacturing environments
Phosphorus secures the full spectrum of manufacturing infrastructure — from industrial control systems and production equipment to facility, operational, and connected OT devices.
The Phosphorus difference
Most solutions only surface risks. We eliminate them.
