CPS Security Services are specialized solutions that help organizations protect cyber‑physical systems—such as industrial control systems, operational technology, and connected infrastructure—by combining cybersecurity expertise with operational and engineering knowledge. These services support risk identification, protection, monitoring, and response in environments where cyber incidents can cause physical, safety, or operational impact. Who are the Target Users of CPS Security Services? Typical users of CPS security services include critical infrastructure operators, manufacturing and industrial firms, energy and utilities providers, transportation and smart city operators, government agencies, defense contractors, and organizations subject to CPS‑related regulatory requirements. What are the Core Capabilities of CPS Security Services? Risk Assessment & Governance – Identifying CPS assets and cyber‑physical risks, and defining ownership and decision frameworks to manage them across operational environments. Security Engineering & Operations – Designing and running CPS‑specific security controls that protect availability, safety, and integrity of operational systems. Compliance & Enablement – Supporting adherence to CPS security standards and regulations while enabling teams to operate securely and independently. What are the Benefits of CPS Security Services? For Organizations: Reduced cyber‑physical risk, improved compliance, access to scarce specialized skills, and flexible security program execution. For Operations & Engineering Teams: Better protection of mission‑critical assets, practical security aligned with operational realities, and improved resilience of production environments.
Gartner defines managed detection and response (MDR) services as those that provide customers with remotely delivered security operations center (SOC) functions. These functions allow organizations to perform rapid detection, analysis, investigation and response through threat disruption and containment. They offer a turnkey experience, using a predefined technology stack that commonly covers endpoints, networks, logs and cloud. Telemetry is analyzed within a provider’s platform using a range of techniques. The MDR provider’s analyst team then performs threat hunting and incident management to deliver recommended actions to their clients. MDR offers outcome-driven security incident management that is predicated on the detection, analysis and investigation of potentially impactful security events and the delivery of active threat disruption and containment actions to respond to and mitigate the impact of cyber breaches.
