Create the environment
Build a virtual OT setting that reflects the site you need to test.
Platform
Simetra recreates industrial environments inside an isolated range. Engineering and OT security teams test, validate, and analyze behavior — including across real hardware — without affecting production.
How it works
The path is the same for every formal test: build the site, configure it, join hardware only when the model is not enough, run the scenario, observe, then leave with evidence. Production is never a node.
Build a virtual OT setting that reflects the site you need to test.
Set assets, communication protocols, and network topology.
Attach the physical devices that must stay real for the test to be honest.
Execute operations or attack simulations across virtual and physical sides.
Attack-path analysis, root-cause findings, and remediation guidance.
Capabilities
Recreate OT networks, assets, and workflows. Examples include Siemens PLC environments and Modbus networks, with protocol customization where the site requires it.
Join real PLCs, switches, radios, and field devices to the simulated plant for combined tests.
A built-in SCADA layer interacts with simulated and connected devices without the customer’s production HMI.
External intrusion, insider threat, lateral movement, device compromise, and multi-stage chains — on the replica.
Exercise controls and zone designs that are too risky to prove in production.
Import operational and network logs, reconstruct events, follow the attack path, and evaluate corrective actions.
Range features
Build and inspect the topology the way operators think about a site — assets, links, and zones together.
Observe traffic on the links that matter for the scenario, then move the capture point when the path moves.
Read what a station or controller did, not only what the network saw.
Return to the same sequence after a control change. The comparison is the finding.
Adjust and observe how links behave so the replica can match the site you are testing.
Face realistic offensive techniques against the replica so defensive design is proven, not assumed.
Simetra is the environment for those activities. It does not replace scanners, GRC tools, or a production SOC.
