One lifecycle
Assess, Remediate, Operate, Lead. Then assess again.
Cybersecurity is never a one-off project. It is a lifecycle that needs diverse experience and an independent, honest and skilled partner working with the operator through every stage. Our only product is customer service. Our goal is to raise ICS and OT cybersecurity knowledge and bring more people into OT security, through innovation in action.
We are not just consultants. We build the engineering, the security practices and the capability that turn advice into action.
- 01 · Assess
GoSecure™
What is exposed, and what needs attention first?
What is exposed, whether your security tools are working, and who can change the process.
- 02 · Remediate
AKTSecure™
Fix what the assessment found, properly.
The remediation program, governance built on what you already have, and secure control-system design.
- 03 · Operate
InnovAKT Shield™
Run the controls you own, with industrial context.
OT managed security services: firewall management, OT Active Directory and expert-led monitoring, augmenting your team while operations keeps the authority.
- 04 · Lead
AKTElevate™
Build the leadership and the skills to direct OT security yourselves.
Fractional OT CISO leadership and training that leaves your people able to direct the program.
Where to start
Four situations, four sensible entry points.
Most engagements begin with an assessment because most organizations need a priority list they can defend. It is not a prerequisite, and we will say so rather than sell one.
A board or a regulator is asking
Start with GoSecure™. You need a ranked, costed, defensible picture before you can answer what the exposure is and what it will take to close it, and the answer has to survive a conversation with both the audit committee and the plant manager.
Tools are deployed and nobody can prove they work
Start with ControlPulse™. Deployment is not coverage: a sensor on the wrong span, a rule nobody tuned and an alert route that ends in an unread mailbox are all common, and all invisible until something is tested.
A plant is in design or a capital project is live
Start with AKTDesign™. Security decided at the specification stage is mostly addressing, segmentation, access and procurement language. The same decisions after commissioning are a retrofit paid for twice.
The capability exists but nobody owns it
Start with OT CISO Advisory. Fractional OT CISO advisory supplies the leadership now, under a written mandate, builds the function while it is in place, and is designed to hand over to a permanent hire rather than to become one.
Questions about the lifecycle
Three things people ask before they start.
What is an OT cybersecurity lifecycle?
Four stages that repeat: Assess, Remediate, Operate and Lead. Each stage produces the evidence and the capability the next one needs, and the results feed the next assessment as the operation, the threat and the standards change. InnovAKT runs one service for each stage: GoSecure™, AKTSecure™, InnovAKT Shield™ and AKTElevate™. You can enter at the stage your situation requires.
Do I have to start with an assessment?
No. Most clients enter with an assessment because they need a defensible priority list, but a plant in design, a program with tools already deployed, or a board asking for evidence each enters at a different stage.
Does InnovAKT sell or resell security products?
No. InnovAKT is vendor-neutral: it designs, specifies and validates, and earns nothing from any product it recommends.
