Regulatory
NIS2 and IEC 62443 raise the bar for OT
Essential-entity obligations and zone-based security models require demonstrable, risk-based vulnerability handling across IT and OT.
Industry
Exposure management for Manufacturing
Plants run OT that was never meant to be patched next to IT that changes daily, and downtime is measured in lost output. Zafran shows which exposures an attacker can actually reach and closes them with existing controls, so the line keeps running.
Pressures
What manufacturing security teams are up against
Attack surface
OT/IT convergence multiplies reachable paths
Remote access, MES integrations and cloud analytics connect the plant floor to the enterprise. Every link is a potential path to a PLC.
Operational reality
Patch windows come once a year
Production systems cannot reboot on Patch Tuesday. Compensating controls have to carry the risk between maintenance windows.
Regulations & frameworks
Evidence your auditors will ask for
Zafran's validation record shows which exposures were exploitable, which were mitigated by a control, and when. That is the artifact these frameworks want.
- IEC 62443
- NIS2
- CISA CPGs
- OT/IT convergence
- ISO 27001
How Zafran helps
Three lifecycle stages that matter most in manufacturing
02 · Assess & Validate
Validate reachability from IT into OT
Know which vulnerabilities on plant systems are actually reachable from the enterprise network or the internet, and which are shielded by segmentation.
- Reachability across zones and conduits
- Runtime presence on engineering workstations and servers
- Exploitation intelligence correlated to your fleet
UI · topology
03 · Risk Mitigation
Mitigate until the maintenance window
Apply firewall, IPS and EDR policies that block the exploit path today, and schedule the patch for the next planned shutdown.
- No production reboots for mitigation
- Control coverage per site and zone
- Auditable, reversible actions

06 · Agentic Exposure Management
Cut MTTR with agentic remediation
Agents investigate new disclosures, validate exposure across plants and propose fixes, so a small team covers a global footprint.
- Per-site investigation at machine speed
- Human approval on every action
- Consistent playbooks across plants

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Zafran scan OT networks?
Zafran does not actively scan OT. It ingests findings from your OT visibility tools and IT scanners, adds reachability and control context, and prioritizes across both.
How does Zafran support IEC 62443 and NIS2?
By showing risk-based, documented handling of vulnerabilities across zones, including which compensating controls mitigate exposures that cannot be patched between maintenance windows.
Can I mitigate without rebooting production systems?
Yes. Mitigation runs through the firewall, IPS and endpoint controls you already have, with no change to the production asset.
How does agentic remediation work across many plants?
Agents investigate each new disclosure per site, validate reachability and runtime presence, and propose mitigations that a human approves.
