What we do

Two ways to work with us

A platform you operate yourself, or an engineering team that designs, secures, and runs the network for you. Most customers do both.

Six service tracks delivered by Controls Engineers with real IT certifications. We design what we install, and we run what we deliver.

Industrial Cyber Security
Manufacturing & critical-infrastructure security programs.

Industries served

Built for the plant floor, not the boardroom

Same vocabulary across our marketing site, design wizard, and platform. Pick yours; the templates and the team that knows it follow.

Why Coastal

Three reasons we get called when others don't

OT security firms talk about the plant floor. We work on it.

01

OT-native engineers, not IT consultants.

Our engineers are experienced Controls Engineers with industry-recognized IT certifications. We are one of the only companies that can provide professionals equally comfortable with Operations Technology (OT) and IT.

02

One vendor for the full stack.

Design → install → secure → operate. No sub-contracting handoffs. The same team that designs your network builds your firmware-locked configurations and watches the alerts that come back from them.

03

A platform that closes the loop.

Customers using the Breakwater platform get free integration of services they buy from us — discovery, monitoring, remote access, all surfaced in one pane. Software and services that talk to each other, by design.
