IT for manufacturers

Keep the line running and the plant secure.

Managed IT and cybersecurity for manufacturers that need maximum uptime, secure OT and IT networks, and a clear path to CMMC and supply chain security requirements.

  • Uptime first
  • OT/IT segmentation
  • CMMC readiness

The challenge

Every minute of downtime has a cost.

Manufacturing is consistently one of the most targeted industries for cyberattacks, and production systems were never designed for the internet.

Production downtime

When ERP, MES, or the network stops, orders, shipping, and payroll stop with it.

Connected plant floors

Legacy machines and OT devices on flat networks give attackers an easy path from the office to the line.

Customer security demands

Defense and enterprise customers increasingly require CMMC, NIST 800-171, or security questionnaires.

How WEBIT helps

We design networks that separate the plant floor from the office, monitor everything around the clock, and document controls your customers ask for.

Manufacturing IT FAQ

Not seeing your question? Talk to an owner. You can also explore our managed IT and cybersecurity services.

Can WEBIT help us prepare for CMMC?

Yes. We assess your current state against NIST 800-171, build a remediation roadmap, and implement the technical controls needed for CMMC readiness.

Do you support multiple shifts?

Our monitoring runs 24x7, and Priority support adds after-hours emergency response.

Can you secure older machines that cannot be patched?

Yes. We isolate legacy and OT devices with network segmentation and monitoring so they keep running without exposing the rest of the business.

Does WEBIT support manufacturing companies?

Yes. WEBIT serves manufacturers, printers, and distributors across Chicagoland. Manufacturing IT requires segmentation between OT and IT networks to protect production systems, ERP and MES support (Epicor, Microsoft Dynamics 365, EFI Pace, Pageflex, Global Shop Solutions), CAD and CAM support (SolidWorks, Autodesk), CMMC readiness for defense suppliers, and ransomware protection built for environments where downtime carries a measurable hourly cost.
