The plant, not a generic lab
OT networks, devices, protocols, and workflows in isolation — including PLC environments and Modbus communications.
OT cyber range
Test before reality does.
Simetra is an OT cyber range: a secure, isolated platform for recreating industrial automation environments and validating operational technology cybersecurity before deployment. Teams simulate OT systems, test architectures, run attack scenarios, and investigate incidents — without disrupting live operations.
The challenge
OT cannot be safely tested like traditional IT.
Industrial and OT environments are built for continuous operation. A small disruption can have operational, financial, or safety consequences. Penetration testing and security validation often cannot be performed directly on production control systems.
As threats evolve, teams need a realistic OT cyber range to validate behavior, find weaknesses, and prepare for incidents — before those incidents reach critical operations.
Why Simetra
A dedicated OT cyber range.
Simetra recreates industrial environments inside a fully isolated cyber range. Engineering and OT security teams can test, validate, and analyze system behavior under normal and adverse conditions — without affecting production.
Under attack, before go-live
External, insider, and multi-stage scenarios against the replica. Prove architecture and controls before they touch a live unit.
With logs, not guesses
Import operational and network logs, reconstruct events, follow the attack path, and evaluate corrective actions.
Core capabilities
What the cyber range is for.
Simetra is an OT cyber range that combines industrial simulation, cybersecurity validation, and incident analysis. It is the environment in which those activities can be done safely — not a replacement for scanners, GRC tools, or production SOC platforms.
OT environment simulation
Recreate OT networks, assets, and workflows in an isolated cyber range. Examples include Siemens PLC environments and Modbus networks, with protocol customization where the site requires it.
Native SCADA environment
A built-in SCADA layer interacts with simulated devices and protocols, so operational behavior can be observed without connecting the customer’s production HMI.
Cyberattack simulation
External intrusion, insider threat, lateral movement, device compromise, and multi-stage attack chains — executed against the replica, not the plant.
Security and architecture validation
Exercise controls and zone designs that are too risky to prove in production. Change a control, repeat the same scenario, and see whether the path is stopped.
Incident investigation
Bring operational and network logs into the simulation to reconstruct events, analyze attack progression, identify root causes, and evaluate mitigation.
Assessment without production risk
Use the OT cyber range for security assessments and penetration testing that cannot be completed on a live industrial system. Findings and recommendations are produced from the simulation.
How Simetra works
From replica to recommendation.
A single workflow: design the environment, exercise it, then take evidence out as analysis — not as a screenshot of a live unit.
Create the environment
Build a virtual OT environment that reflects the site you need to test.
Configure the plant
Set assets, communication protocols, and network topology.
Run the scenario
Execute operations or cybersecurity attack simulations in isolation.
Observe behavior
Watch how the process and the network respond, and where defenses fail.
Leave with reports
Attack-path analysis, root-cause findings, and remediation guidance.
