Preventing a cyberattack from stopping production
In an industrial SME, ransomware on office computers can be enough to block orders, planning and shipping. Shop-floor computers, often old and hard to update, require suitable measures.
Kayzen Security is in a pilot programme: no customer references are cited on these pages, and no module is on sale yet.
The sector's challenges
Production stoppage
Planning, production orders, shipping: everything depends on a few computers and servers.
Old shop-floor computers
Machine control, supervision: systems that sometimes cannot be updated without the manufacturer's approval.
The supply chain
Contractors and customers increasingly demand security guarantees from their suppliers.
Service provider access
Remote maintenance of machines and software: access that needs to be controlled and logged.

What you need to know
- The Kayzen agent is designed for Windows and macOS computers. PLCs, SCADA systems and industrial equipment (OT) are not covered.
- Any action on a computer that controls a machine must be validated with its manufacturer or integrator.
- Network segmentation between office and shop floor is a matter of network architecture, not the agent.
Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our answers
Can Kayzen be installed on a shop-floor computer running an old version of Windows?
The supported versions of Windows will be specified during the pilot programme. For a system that is no longer maintained, network isolation and application control are the priority measures.
Does Kayzen monitor PLCs?
No. Kayzen does not cover industrial equipment (OT); it is designed to protect Windows and macOS workstations.
