American manufacturing drives economic growth and national security, but manufacturers face a critical vulnerability: cyber attackers exploit the gap between corporate IT and industrial OT protection. While security teams treat IT and OT as separate domains, attackers move seamlessly between them. A compromised corporate laptop becomes a gateway to production systems. OT cyber events tripled between 2021 and 2023, with manufacturers experiencing seven days downtime per incident - at costs reaching $3M per day for large facilities.
To address this gap, Zip Security and Galvanick are announcing a strategic partnership to pair Zip's Information Technology cybersecurity platform, which protects corporate SaaS applications, user access, and cloud infrastructure, with Galvanick's Operational Technology security platform, which monitors industrial networks, endpoints, and control systems.
Together, they provide unified visibility and coordinated response across both domains.
The collaboration offers companies a first-of-its-kind unified solution to secure their entire attack surface - IT and OT alike.
“Our customers rely on Galvanick to protect critical industrial infrastructure that can’t afford downtime or compromise,” said Josh Steinman, CEO of Galvanick. “But many attacks begin in the corporate network. By partnering with Zip Security, we’re helping our customers close the loop, providing full-spectrum visibility and defense.”
“Protecting our customers means securing both IT and OT - two very different but increasingly connected domains,” said Josh Zweig, CoFounder & CEO of Zip Security. “Zip offers deep protection for corporate systems, but operational technology brings unique challenges. Galvanick’s expertise in OT security makes them the ideal partner. Together, we’re delivering unified, end-to-end protection across the full stack.”
This partnership marks an important step toward truly holistic security - helping organizations move beyond silos and secure every part of their operations with integrated visibility, intelligent detection, and real-world-tested defenses.
