This section addresses common questions about the unique security risks, compliance pressures, and partnership opportunities in the sectors we serve. Our goal is to help manufacturers and their IT partners understand how specialized OT cybersecurity and compliance services keep operations running, protect industrial assets, and accelerate audit readiness.

  • No. We’re not a help desk or general IT MSP. Skusonaut is focused exclusively on industrial cybersecurity and compliance. We work alongside your IT MSP or internal IT team — not against them.

  • We protect operational technology (OT) environments, including:

    • PLCs (programmable logic controllers)

    • HMIs (human-machine interfaces)

    • SCADA and DCS systems

    • Industrial robotics and IoT devices

    This complements IT security to cover the entire factory floor and supply chain ecosystem.

  • Your systems are monitored 24/7 by live SOC analysts. If a threat is detected — whether in IT or OT traffic — we takes immediate action (endpoint isolation, credential lockdown, blocking lateral movement) to contain it before it spreads.

  • We complement IT MSPs, not replace them. Your IT team handles devices, networks, and day-to-day support. Skusonaut adds the industrial security and compliance layer that most IT shops don’t have. Together, you get complete coverage across IT and OT.

    • Manufacturers with growing OT environments (factories, logistics, energy, life sciences).

    • IT MSPs serving industrial clients who need a trusted OT + compliance partner.

    • Supply chain vendors facing pressure to prove compliance and cybersecurity readiness.

    • Firms implementing automation engineering and system integration who would like to also offer offers a security and compliance “wrapper” to add to deals.

    • We are industrial-first: OT and compliance are our specialty.

    • We’re partner-friendly: we team up with IT MSPs instead of competing.

    • We deliver audit-ready security: everything we do helps keep you contract- and compliance-ready.
