A pure-play ICS/OTsecurity consultancy.
Astra protects the critical infrastructure sectors that power society. Our team of consultants, engineers and service partners works hands-on with industrial control systems and operational technology, and helps organisations reach operational resilience through experience, agility and adaptability.
Our mission
To secure and empower organisations in the critical infrastructure sector, so they stay safe and operationally resilient. We address each client's specific challenges and focus on solving problems effectively, as a trusted advisor guiding cyber security investment in ICS and OT.
We tailor solutions to the unique cyber security needs of this sector: mitigating risk, defending critical assets, keeping operations uninterrupted and safeguarding essential services in a modern threat landscape.
Perth and Hyderabad
Two bases give Astra a global perspective on the threats to critical infrastructure. Our consultants, engineers and service partners address them head-on with solutions built for each client's operations.
How we work
- 1
Start with the process
Before controls, we understand what the plant does, what would hurt if it stopped, and who runs it. Security recommendations that ignore operations do not get implemented.
- 2
Hands-on with the systems
Our consultants and engineers work directly with control systems, not from a questionnaire. Findings are grounded in the configuration and the network as they actually are.
- 3
Co-develop, no red tape
We partner with the client's own engineers and operators, and build the solution together, so it fits the site and outlives the engagement.
- 4
Stay for the lifecycle
Assessment, design, implementation, monitoring, readiness and recovery. One team across every stage, not a hand-off between vendors.
What makes Astra different
Laser-focused on critical infrastructure
A pure-play ICS/OT security company. We work across sectors and bring industry-specific knowledge to meet country-specific criteria, aligned with IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82 and NIS2.
No red tape
Operational resilience does not exist in isolation. We partner with clients to understand their specific needs and goals, then co-develop the solutions that meet them.
Depth of experience
Industrial automation, cyber security, network design and management consulting, gained globally, and kept current as the industry's demands change.
Industry partnerships
Access to specialist resources in ICS/OT operations, architecture, control systems and instrumentation engineering, so recommendations are grounded in how plants actually run.
The full lifecycle
Risk and vulnerability assessment, ICS security engineering, managed services, incident response and recovery. Clients are covered at every stage, not handed off between vendors.
ASTRICS, our operational intelligence platform
Astra builds ASTRICS: an operational intelligence platform for industrial cyber security. One shared operational understanding of a site, read by every capability in the platform.
Credentials
Our team holds the certifications that matter for ICS security work, and the general security and network credentials that underpin it.
