Industries / Sawmills & forestry
Protect the line, the OT, and the office for operations where a stoppage is expensive by the hour.
Mills blend office IT with operational technology — PLCs, scanners, optimization systems — on networks that were never segmented. The cost of downtime is high and the legacy gear is unforgiving, which makes ransomware containment and recovery a board-level concern.
Where the risk actually lands
Flat networks put OT one click from the office
When the mill-floor controls share a network with email and accounting, a phishing click can reach the line. Segmentation and monitored EDR keep the blast radius small.
Legacy and unpatched systems linger
Optimization and control systems often run old, unpatchable Windows. They can't always be replaced — but they can be isolated, monitored, and backed up.
Hourly downtime cost raises the stakes
A mill that's down is bleeding money fast. Tested recovery, a named incident-response plan, and tabletop exercises turn a crisis into a procedure.
