Why Us

Essential to manufacturers, we help you prevent and detect cyber threats and respond to events to minimize business disruption and financial losses. Praise be to God.

Manufacturers are facing the challenge of implementing digital services and data analytics into their operational systems. Integrated systems not only expose you to your cybersecurity and technological weaknesses but also to other participants, including their customers, suppliers, and managed service providers.

Prudent leadership teams embrace their responsibility for promoting cybersecurity and digital trust. The competitive advantage of embracing this responsibility is being developed with well-defined strategic plans, as adopters outperform their peers that fail to execute due to ambiguity from missing action plans, policies, and procedures.

We co-develop comprehensive strategies and security plans customized to your business needs and focused on what matters most to you. This typically includes prioritizing risks and responses to reduce the likelihood that cybercriminals will breach your systems and cause financial loss to your business.

These plans are simple, user-friendly living documents that offer greater visibility into your cyber exposure and business risks from probable attack vectors.

Our proven process allows us to prioritize cyber threats with the highest business impact, safeguarding your critical assets from malicious exploitation.

Certitude Security^® works with scaling and mid-market manufacturing companies to co-develop security strategies, assess the business impact of cyber risk, verify the cybersecurity practices of internal and outsourced IT teams, and help protect sensitive data and critical workflows.

If your company outsources its IT management or security, we provide oversight to ensure your provider is upholding their best practices and delivering the services in which you’ve contracted.

If you have internal IT staff, we collaborate with team members to prioritize security remediation and bridge the gap between your organization’s technology practices and business priorities.  This enables your leadership team to make more effective decisions and focus resources on probable threats that are likely to cause loss.

Lowell Bowdle, CEO of Certitude Security^®, is a known cybersecurity thought leader with 25 years of experience related to security and IT consulting for manufacturing, construction, and distribution industries. His leadership and expertise enable us to anticipate your specific operational needs and mitigate the cyber threats others have overlooked.
