Penetration Testing That Understands Manufacturing Environments

Manufacturing is the most targeted sector for cyberattacks. Raxis delivers human-led, AI-augmented penetration testing that covers both IT and OT environments, finding the cross-domain attack paths that automated scanners miss and ransomware operators exploit.

IT/OT Convergence Testing

Real testing of the boundary between corporate IT and industrial control systems, where a compromised workstation can become a path to your production floor.

OT & ICS Security Assessment

Safe, controlled assessment of PLCs, SCADA systems, HMIs, and ICS networks using non-disruptive techniques designed for environments where downtime means lost revenue.

IP & Supply Chain Protection

Testing of ERP integrations, MES platforms, vendor connections, and remote access points that protect proprietary designs, trade secrets, and supply chain data.

The Problem with Most Manufacturing Pentests

Most pentest vendors know corporate IT. They don’t know manufacturing. They test your office network and skip the production floor entirely, leaving the systems that actually stop your business untouched.

IT-Only Testing That Ignores the Production Floor

Most pentest vendors assess corporate networks and call it done. They never touch the OT environment where PLCs, SCADA systems, and HMIs actually control your production lines. That’s the gap ransomware operators target. Raxis tests both IT and OT together to reveal the cross-domain attack paths that actually shut down manufacturing operations.

IT/OT Segmentation That’s Never Been Challenged

Your network diagram shows a clear boundary between corporate IT and the plant network. But flat network segments, misconfigured firewalls, and legacy devices with default credentials create paths attackers exploit to move from a phishing email to a production controller. Raxis validates that your IT/OT segmentation holds under real lateral movement pressure.

Vendor and Supply Chain Access Nobody Tested

Remote vendor access, ERP-to-MES integrations, IIoT device connections, and third-party maintenance portals all create entry points into your manufacturing environment. A pentest scoped to your internal network perimeter misses these entirely. Raxis tests the full supply chain attack surface, including the connections your vendors use to reach your systems.

Ransomware Is the #1 Manufacturing Threat

Manufacturing is the top target for ransomware because attackers know production downtime creates immediate financial pressure to pay. A generic pentest won’t simulate the phishing-to-lateral-movement-to-OT kill chain that ransomware groups actually execute. Raxis tests the full attack path to find where that chain breaks, or doesn’t.

Why Raxis for Manufacturing Penetration Testing

Test IT and OT together as one attack surface

OSCP-certified engineers assess corporate IT networks, ICS/SCADA environments, and the convergence points between them. You see the complete picture of how an attacker moves from an email inbox to a production controller.

Test without stopping the line

Raxis uses non-disruptive techniques, careful scoping, and coordinated testing windows designed for environments where unplanned downtime costs thousands per hour. We work with your operations team to manage risk at every phase.

Protect IP and proprietary data

We test the systems that store your proprietary designs, trade secrets, and competitive advantages: ERP platforms, engineering file shares, MES integrations, and the access controls protecting them from insider and external threats.

Support compliance across frameworks

Raxis aligns testing and reporting to NIST SP 800-82, IEC 62443, ISO 27001, and CMMC where applicable. Whether you’re meeting customer security requirements or preparing for an audit, your report is built for the framework your stakeholders care about.

Continuous coverage with PTaaS

Manufacturing environments change constantly with new automation deployments, vendor integrations, and IIoT devices. Raxis Attack (PTaaS) delivers continuous, AI-augmented testing with real-time results and unlimited retesting so your security posture keeps pace with your production environment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Manufacturing Penetration Testing

It’s a hands-on simulated attack against both your IT and OT environments, including corporate networks, industrial control systems, SCADA, PLCs, HMIs, MES platforms, and the connections between them. The goal is to find exploitable vulnerabilities before ransomware operators and other threat actors do.

Manufacturers combine high-value intellectual property with operational environments where downtime creates immediate financial pressure. Ransomware groups know that a production stoppage costs thousands per hour, which makes manufacturers more likely to pay. Add legacy OT systems with weak security, expanding IIoT deployments, and complex supply chain connections, and you have the most attractive target in any industry.

Yes. Testing IT and OT as separate environments misses the cross-domain attack paths that real adversaries exploit. Raxis tests corporate networks, industrial control systems, and the convergence points between them to reveal how an attacker chains a phishing email into lateral movement that reaches your production floor.

Raxis uses careful scoping, non-disruptive techniques, and coordinated testing windows developed in collaboration with your operations team. We prioritize passive reconnaissance and safe exploitation methods for OT systems, and we maintain constant communication throughout the engagement to manage risk in real time.

We test PLCs, SCADA systems, HMIs, ICS networks, MES and ERP integrations, corporate IT networks, wireless infrastructure, remote access and VPN connections, IIoT devices, vendor access points, and web applications. Every engagement is scoped around your specific manufacturing environment and operational requirements.

Raxis Attack is our Penetration Testing as a Service platform, delivering continuous, AI-augmented testing with real-time results and unlimited retesting through the secure Raxis One portal. For manufacturers, it provides ongoing visibility as new automation, IIoT devices, and vendor connections change your attack surface.

Raxis aligns testing and reporting to NIST SP 800-82 (Guide to ICS Security), IEC 62443 (Industrial Automation Security), ISO 27001, CMMC for defense manufacturers, and PCI DSS where payment processing is in scope. Your report maps findings to the specific framework your stakeholders require.

Raxis testers hold industry-leading certifications including OSCP, CEH, GPEN, GFACT, and more listed on our certifications page.
