Exton, Pa.-based Actemium Avanceon, an industrial automation and digital transformation company, announced it had launched its OT Readiness & Recovery Services offering, a service designed to help industrial organizations improve recovery preparedness.
As manufacturers place more emphasis on managing risk across complex operational technology environments, Actemium Avanceon’s readiness and recovery services can help companies strengthen their response and recovery capabilities. The company said its OT-focused recovery approach can help manufacturers validate backups, improve disaster recovery readiness and restore production systems following disruptions.
“Many manufacturers already have monitoring and cybersecurity initiatives in place, but operational recovery is still a major gap,” Matt Ruth, CEO of Actemium Avanceon, said. “In industrial environments, the true business impact often comes from how long production systems remain unavailable after an outage, cyber incident, or infrastructure failure. Recovery readiness requires more than monitoring and detection; it requires validated backups, documented recovery processes, and operational visibility into how systems are restored.”
Unlike traditional IT environments, OT recovery requires restoring interconnected control systems, SCADA platforms, industrial networks, and production equipment while minimizing disruptions to active operations. Actemium’s approach combines OT infrastructure expertise with controls, SCADA, MES, and industrial operations knowledge to help manufacturers improve recovery coordination across plant-floor environments. Its OT Readiness & Recovery Services provide manufacturers with the ability to improve recovery planning and operational response through system documentation, backup validation, response process definition, ongoing support, and visibility into OT system dependencies and risks.
Ruth said manufacturers are placing greater focus on recovery readiness as cybersecurity incidents, system complexity, personnel turnover, and operational continuity requirements continue to increase across industrial environments. Many organizations are now recognizing that recovery planning, documentation, and validated backup processes are components of OT risk management.
“In many situations, we’re brought into a facility after an issue has already occurred, and the first challenge is understanding the current state of the environment before recovery can begin,” Ruth said. “We’re seeing more organizations move from asking, ‘How do we know when something breaks?’ to asking, ‘How do we recover quickly when it does?’”
