Our mission is to secure and empower organisations in the critical infrastructure sector, ensuring their safety and operational resilience. We address clients’ specific challenges and focus on solving problems effectively. Our approach is centred around being a trusted advisor, utilising our expertise and experience to guide cyber security investments in industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT) domains.
We are dedicated to providing tailored solutions to mitigate risks and address the unique cyber security needs of organisations in this sector — enabling them to thrive in a modern threat landscape. Our expertise, strategic approach and use of advanced technologies empower our clients to proactively defend their critical assets, maintain uninterrupted operations, and safeguard their essential services.
At ASTRA, we combine years of experience and expertise in supporting industrial environments. We are not your typical IT security team.

ICS ASSET DISCOVERY & MANAGEMENT
Gain comprehensive visibility and control over any ICS environment
Securing ICS requires a comprehensive understanding of an organisation’s environment, including all assets and their configuration. That’s why we offer ICS Asset Discovery and Management services, designed to help gain visibility into your ICS environment and manage assets more effectively.
Using advanced scanning and analysis tools, we conduct a thorough asset discovery, identifying various industrial control systems, network devices, servers, OT workstations, and other hardware and software components and their interactions. We capture various ICS protocols and create a detailed inventory with vital information such as asset type, location, and configuration.
Once assets are identified, we establish baseline configurations and implement proactive monitoring. Our asset management services include ongoing monitoring, reporting, and the development of performance metrics. This enables businesses to measure the effectiveness of the asset management program and continuously improve the ICS environment.
