The mine never stops. Neither should its security.
In mining and energy, an hour of downtime is measured in tons. BITS connects, protects and monitors the whole operation — pit, plant, substation and corporate — with verifiable OT security and response before impact.
OT is no longer isolated
IT/OT convergence exposed industrial systems never designed for the internet: proprietary protocols, legacy equipment with no patch management and limited security practice. The number of CISOs overseeing OT environments has tripled — protecting those environments is still the open problem.
Operational disruption
SCADA ransomware, fleet standstill and production loss measured in tons per day.
Zero visibility
OT devices with no inventory, no logs and no traffic baseline: nobody knows what talks to what.
IT/OT convergence
Flat networks: one phishing email in the office reaches the plant PLC with no control in between.
Remote access
Vendors, maintenance and shared VPNs with no session control and no record of what they did.
Compliance
NIST 800-82, IEC 62443 and CIP audits demanding evidence that does not exist today.
[ Estimated impact ]
What it costs to find out about an OT incident too late.
Industry references (Fortinet OT Security Report and breach-cost reports).
Segmentation is not splitting the network in two.
We design the architecture by Purdue levels under IEC 62443: each zone with its own access control and monitoring, and an industrial DMZ that stops lateral movement before it reaches plant control.

Flat network
One phishing email in the office reaches the plant PLC.
02
Segmented network
Lateral movement stops at the industrial DMZ.
