Manufacturing has become the most-targeted industry for cyberattacks, surpassing even financial services and healthcare. The convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) has created an expanded attack surface that many manufacturers are not adequately defending. A single ransomware attack can shut down production lines, corrupt quality control systems, and cause millions in lost revenue per day of downtime.

Petronella Technology Group, Inc. protects manufacturers by securing both IT and OT environments, implementing network segmentation between corporate and production networks, deploying endpoint protection across factory floor devices and workstations, protecting proprietary designs and trade secrets, managing supply chain cybersecurity risk, and ensuring compliance with industry standards including NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and CMMC for manufacturers in the defense supply chain.

Our team understands that production uptime is non-negotiable. We design security controls that protect without disrupting operations, schedule updates during maintenance windows, and ensure incident response plans account for the operational realities of a manufacturing environment.

Educational institutions are under relentless attack. K-12 school districts have experienced a dramatic increase in ransomware attacks that force school closures, compromise student records, and disrupt learning. Universities face threats to research data, intellectual property, and the personally identifiable information of thousands of students and staff. The massive, distributed attack surface created by BYOD policies, campus Wi-Fi, and remote learning platforms makes security exceptionally challenging.

Petronella Technology Group, Inc. helps educational institutions comply with FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) requirements for student data protection, implement content filtering and network security appropriate for educational environments, protect administrative systems containing Social Security numbers, financial aid records, and employee data, secure research data and intellectual property, deploy endpoint protection across thousands of devices including student laptops and tablets, and build incident response plans that account for the unique operational demands of an academic environment.

We understand that education budgets are tight. Our security programs are designed to deliver maximum protection within realistic funding constraints, and we help institutions leverage federal cybersecurity grants and programs where available.

Real estate transactions involve some of the largest financial transfers most people will ever make, and cybercriminals know it. Wire transfer fraud targeting real estate closings has become epidemic. Business email compromise attacks impersonate title companies, agents, and attorneys to redirect hundreds of thousands of dollars in closing funds to criminal accounts. A single successful wire fraud attack can exceed $500,000 and result in devastating lawsuits and reputational damage.

Petronella Technology Group, Inc. protects real estate agencies, property management companies, title companies, and mortgage brokers by implementing email authentication protocols (DMARC, DKIM, SPF) to prevent spoofing, deploying wire transfer verification procedures, securing property management databases containing tenant Social Security numbers and financial records, protecting client portals and document sharing platforms, training staff to recognize social engineering attacks targeting real estate transactions, and ensuring compliance with state-level data protection requirements and industry regulations.

For property management companies operating multiple properties, we provide centralized security monitoring across your entire portfolio, consistent policy enforcement, and incident response capabilities that scale with your operation.

The hospitality industry processes enormous volumes of payment card data and personally identifiable information. Hotels collect guest names, addresses, credit card numbers, passport details, and loyalty program data. Restaurants process thousands of credit card transactions daily through point-of-sale systems. Major hospitality brands have suffered breaches exposing hundreds of millions of guest records, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in damages, regulatory fines, and litigation costs.

Petronella Technology Group, Inc. secures hospitality businesses through comprehensive PCI DSS compliance programs for payment card processing, point-of-sale (POS) system security hardening and monitoring, property management system (PMS) protection, guest Wi-Fi network segmentation and security, IoT device security for smart room systems and building automation, employee security awareness training focused on social engineering threats targeting front desk and reservation staff, and multi-location security management for hotel chains and restaurant groups.

We help hospitality businesses balance the guest experience with rigorous data protection, ensuring that your security controls protect without creating friction for guests or staff.

Energy companies and utilities are classified as critical infrastructure, and for good reason. A successful cyberattack on a power grid, water treatment facility, or natural gas pipeline can have catastrophic consequences for public safety and economic stability. These organizations face threats from both financially motivated cybercriminals and nation-state actors seeking to disrupt infrastructure.

Petronella Technology Group, Inc. helps energy and utility companies secure SCADA and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) from cyberattack, implement network segmentation between IT and OT environments, comply with NERC CIP (Critical Infrastructure Protection) standards where applicable, protect smart grid and smart meter infrastructure, secure remote access for field technicians and contractors, deploy continuous monitoring across both corporate and operational networks, build incident response plans that account for the safety implications of infrastructure disruption, and manage the cybersecurity risk introduced by third-party vendors and contractors who access critical systems.

Our approach prioritizes safety and uptime. We understand that patching a SCADA system is fundamentally different from patching a corporate laptop, and we design security programs that account for those critical differences.

Transportation and logistics companies operate complex, interconnected systems that manage fleet tracking, route optimization, warehouse operations, customs documentation, and customer shipment data. A cyberattack that disrupts these systems can halt deliveries, corrupt supply chain data, and cause cascading delays across entire distribution networks. The industry has seen high-profile attacks that shut down major pipeline operators, shipping companies, and freight carriers for days or weeks.

Petronella Technology Group, Inc. secures transportation and logistics operations by protecting fleet management and GPS tracking systems, securing warehouse management systems (WMS) and transportation management systems (TMS), implementing access controls and encryption for shipment and customs data, protecting electronic logging devices (ELDs) and telematics systems, securing communication networks across warehouses, distribution centers, and mobile assets, deploying endpoint protection for mobile devices used by drivers and field personnel, and building business continuity plans that ensure operations can continue even during a cyber incident.

We understand that every hour of downtime in logistics directly translates to revenue loss and customer impact. Our security controls are designed to be resilient, with redundancy and failover capabilities that keep your operations moving even when under attack.
