WHAT WE OFFER
Cybersecurity Services for Manufacturing in Michigan That Keep Production Running
Manufacturing is one of the most targeted industries for ransomware because every hour of downtime is expensive. Older plant equipment, remote vendor access, and supply chain connections all add risk.
CTS secures both your business network and the systems on the floor, and helps you meet the security requirements your customers put in their contracts.

Ransomware Protection
Endpoint detection and response, 24/7 SOC monitoring, and immutable backups that minimize downtime.

OT & Plant Network Security
Network segmentation and monitoring that separate plant-floor systems from office IT and the internet.

CMMC & NIST 800-171
Gap assessments, remediation, and documentation for defense suppliers handling Controlled Unclassified Information.

Secure Vendor Access
Controlled, logged remote access for equipment vendors and integrators instead of always-on connections.

Multi-site backup of ERP, engineering, and production data with tested recovery times.

Supply Chain Security
Security questionnaires, policies, and evidence that customers and OEMs ask suppliers to provide.

Cybersecurity Answers For Michigan Manufacturers
These questions cover what Michigan manufacturers and suppliers typically ask about ransomware, plant-floor security, and compliance.
-
Why are manufacturers targeted by ransomware?
Read answerDowntime is extremely costly for manufacturers, so attackers expect them to pay. Many plants also run older systems that are hard to patch and have remote access paths for vendors, which create openings.
-
How does CTS secure plant-floor and OT systems?
Read answerCTS segments operational technology from the office network, controls and logs vendor remote access, and monitors traffic for unusual behavior, so an infection on a business PC cannot easily reach production equipment.
-
Do Michigan manufacturers need CMMC?
Read answerManufacturers in the Department of Defense supply chain that handle Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information must meet the CMMC level required in their contracts. CTS performs gap assessments and helps implement NIST SP 800-171 controls and documentation.
-
What security do automotive suppliers need?
Read answerOEMs increasingly require suppliers to show strong security practices, and many automotive programs reference frameworks such as TISAX or NIST. CTS helps suppliers put the controls in place and gather the evidence customers request.
-
How quickly can a manufacturer recover from a cyberattack?
Read answerRecovery speed depends on preparation. CTS uses immutable, multi-site backups and documented recovery plans with tested restore times, so critical systems such as ERP and production scheduling come back as quickly as possible.
-
Does CTS work with small and mid-sized manufacturers?
Read answerYes. CTS supports job shops, contract manufacturers, and multi-plant suppliers across Michigan with plans sized to your users, plants, and compliance needs.
