- T+24:00
Initial Production
Critical lines restarted with enhanced monitoring and limited capacity.
- T+36:00
Full Operations
Production capacity fully restored with enhanced security controls.
Threat Assessment
Challenge
Targeted attack paralyzing industrial control systems and halting production across multiple plants.
Key Challenges:
- Industrial control systems halted across multiple plants at once
- Safety instrumentation had to be revalidated before any restart
- Controller firmware trust could not be assumed
- Downstream supply commitments accruing penalties every hour
Countermeasures Deployed
Solution
Deployment of parallel OT/IT recovery platforms with security validation of industrial control systems.
Key Solutions:
- Recovery estate rebuilt away from any equipment touched by the attack
- Firmware validation and trust controls before reconnecting controllers
- Critical network separation between operational and corporate zones
- Capacity-limited restart with enhanced monitoring on the first lines
Mission Outcome
Result
Phased production restart within 24 hours, full supply chain recovery within 36 hours.
