Cyber risk inside OT environments can remain hidden until it affects operations. INTECH helps organizations establish an in-house OT SOC capability, spanning telemetry onboarding, detection engineering, dashboards, and analyst enablement, enabling the client team to manage operations independently.
Why Traditional SOC Models Fail in OT
Industrial environments are more connected, distributed, and exposed than ever, but many organizations still rely on IT SOC tools that were not designed to understand PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, SCADA servers, engineering workstations, industrial protocols, or control commands.
New devices, vendor laptops, engineering workstations, and shadow assets can appear inside OT networks without clear visibility.
A standard IT SIEM may show a network event, but not whether it was a normal read request, an unsafe write command, or a critical control action.
Vendors, contractors, and engineers need access, but unmanaged or unmonitored access can become a path into critical systems.
OT response cannot be handled like IT. Blocking, rebooting, or isolating systems without coordination can create operational risk.
Scope of Our OT SOC Implementation
Assessment
Baseline your current visibility, detection, and response capability against leading OT security frameworks, with a prioritized roadmap.
Data Onboarding
Design and deploy passive sensors, taps, and the telemetry pipeline that feeds your OT SOC platform, handed over ready to operate.
Detection & Monitoring
Build and tune the protocol-aware detection use cases, dashboards, and alert logic your analysts use to run continuous monitoring in-house.
& Playbooks
Build response workflows, escalation paths, analyst runbooks, and safe investigation procedures that support operational continuity.
On-Prem OT Analyst
Deploy AI and ML capabilities to accelerate alert triage, correlation, and investigation while keeping OT telemetry within your environment and all actions under human review.
& Standards
Stand up an ongoing compliance program and audit-readiness process, owned and run by your team.
OT SOC Foundation for a National Power Grid
INTECH supported a national power transmission operator in upgrading its centralized monitoring and log management environment across multiple control centers. The engagement focused on improving Splunk-based OT SIEM capability, regional visibility, dashboarding, cybersecurity integration, training, and incident readiness for critical control systems.
Why Choose INTECH
30 years of experience and knowledge in control systems, plant networks, and industrial automation.
SOC designs support alignment with key OT security standards such as IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, MITRE ATT&CK for ICS, and others.
Workflows that enable effective incident investigation without disrupting plant operations.
We design and implement the SOC, then equip your team with the knowledge to operate and evolve it independently.
We integrate SIEM, NDR, EDR, OT sensors, and other tools into a unified OT SOC workflow.
Every engagement ends in handover. You keep the tooling, the playbooks, and the people who run them.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is OT SOC different from IT SOC?+
An IT SOC monitors enterprise systems. An OT SOC monitors industrial assets, control networks, engineering workstations, and plant activity where safety, uptime, and operational continuity are critical.
Will your sensors disrupt my plant operations?+
No. INTECH uses passive collection methods such as SPAN/TAP, port mirroring, NetFlow, and OT sensors to observe traffic without scanning or interrupting control assets.
Where is my data stored?+
Data storage depends on your agreed architecture. INTECH can support on-premises, Control DMZ, enterprise SIEM, or restricted/air-gapped deployments.
What is the typical onboarding timeline?+
It depends on the number of sites, data sources, SIEM readiness, and required use cases. We usually begin with an assessment, then move into design, data onboarding, dashboards, use-case development, testing, and analyst enablement.
Can you work alongside my existing IT SOC?+
Yes. INTECH can extend your existing IT SOC with OT data sources, OT-specific use cases, dashboards, and escalation workflows.
Do you support fully air-gapped environments?+
Yes. INTECH can design OT SOC visibility for air-gapped or restricted environments using local SIEM deployment, controlled forwarding, offline reporting, or unidirectional gateways where required.
