Frequently asked questions

How does CBTS approach IT/OT security in manufacturing environments?

CBTS designs security architectures purpose-built for converged industrial environments — addressing SCADA systems, PLCs, cloud-connected supply chain integrations, and remote access points. Our approach aligns to regulatory frameworks including NIST, ISA/IEC 62443, and CMMC, ensuring manufacturers reduce risk, maintain compliance, and protect uptime across every facility. 
Can CBTS support manufacturers with multiple facilities across different geographies?

Yes. CBTS is purpose-built for multi-site manufacturing complexity. We standardize infrastructure, centralize management, and deliver managed services across dozens to hundreds of facilities — providing consistent performance, visibility, and security regardless of geography, plant architecture, or franchise model.
What does CBTS's as-a-service model mean for manufacturing IT budgets?

CBTS's as-a-service models replace unpredictable capital expenditures with predictable operating costs — making it easier to plan, scale, and budget across facilities. Manufacturers gain enterprise-grade infrastructure and managed services without the overhead of building and maintaining those capabilities in-house.
