IT for manufacturing
Keep the line running and the data moving.
When the network stops, production stops. Talos runs IT for manufacturers that need reliable plant networks, systems that talk from the floor to the front office, and security that understands OT.
The short answer
Talos provides managed IT for manufacturers. We design segmented networks that keep production systems isolated from threats, support ERP platforms such as SAP, Oracle and Epicor and the shop floor systems connected to them, monitor 24/7 so network faults do not become line stoppages, and manage every plant as one environment. We also help with NIST and CMMC requirements for government and enterprise contracts.
Who it's for
The IT problems manufacturers run into
Our team has supported Houston manufacturers since 2014. These are the issues we see most on plant floors.
Unplanned downtime
A network outage stops production, and each hour costs output, missed shipments and overtime.
OT and IT coming together
Connecting machines and controllers to the business network adds security risk, and many IT providers do not understand plant-floor systems.
ERP and MES that do not agree
ERP, inventory and shop floor software have to exchange data reliably, or bad numbers drive bad decisions.
Ransomware aimed at production
Attackers know a manufacturer cannot stay shut down for long, so they count on a quick payment.
What we cover
How Talos supports manufacturers
Industrial network design
Segmented networks that keep production systems away from threats while preserving the connections operations depend on.
ERP and system support
We support SAP, Oracle, Epicor and other manufacturing platforms, and the links between them, so data flows from the floor to the front office.
24/7 monitoring for uptime
Network problems are caught before they stop a line, around the clock.
Multi-site IT management
One facility or five, managed as a single environment with consistent security and support.
NIST and CMMC readiness
Gap assessments, controls and documentation for government and enterprise supply chain requirements.
Backup and recovery
Immutable backups and tested recovery, so an attack does not leave you choosing between paying and rebuilding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes. We design networks that separate operational technology from the business network, so a phishing email in the office cannot reach a controller on the floor, while keeping the connections production needs.
Yes. We support SAP, Oracle, Epicor and other manufacturing platforms, including the servers, network, users and connections to shop floor systems, and work with the software vendor when needed.
By monitoring the network and critical systems 24/7 and acting on early warnings, such as a failing switch or a saturated link, before they turn into a stopped line.
Yes. We help manufacturers meet NIST, CMMC and supply chain security requirements for government and enterprise contracts, with gap assessments, technical controls and the documentation assessors look for.
Yes. Multiple facilities are managed as one environment with the same security standards, monitoring and support at every site.
