Industrial operators will face a significant set of challenges over the next ten years as we anticipate the onset of a perfect storm: a talent gap of experienced controls engineers, increasing pressure of environmental, economic and compliance requirements, growing threats from targeted and mass cybersecurity attacks, and a push to increase greater connectivity to drive efficiency through Industry 4.0-type efforts make designing and operating these systems more challenging every year. 

Verve’s team of industrial controls system experts built a suite of offerings designed to help automate and support security leaders through the lifecycle of their investments.  Our experienced engineering team is proficient across DCS, PLC and SCADA systems, from controls programming to data historian design, implementation and maintenance, to network design and implementation and security controls. 

We act as an extension of your team, ready to help you at every step of the journey to support your most critical cyber security needs. Most importantly, we guarantee every system is designed-for-defense from day one with integrated, vendor-agnostic OT/ICS security
