Professional Services
OT / ICS Cybersecurity
Boots to Cyber is an OT/ICS cybersecurity company dedicated to the defense of our nation’s critical infrastructure. Built by veterans with a mission-driven mindset, we specialize in the protection of industrial control systems across energy, manufacturing, and utility sectors. Our team leverages deep operational experience and cutting-edge security practices to reduce risk, enhance resilience, and ensure the safe and secure operation of critical systems that power America.
Cybersecurity Mentorship, Training, and Certification
In partnership with industry leaders in cybersecurity certification, including EC-Council,, SANS, and CompTIA, combined with our DoD SkillBridge program, which includes Dragos Academy, we provide every level of DoD 8570.01-M Certification for all DoD Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (DCWF) roles.
Cybersecurity as a Service (CSaas)
We provide Cybersecurity-as-a-Service and vCISO solutions to help organizations strengthen their security posture without the overhead of a full-time security team. Our services include continuous risk assessments, policy development, compliance support, incident response planning, and strategic guidance tailored to your business needs. With our vCISO offering, you gain direct access to seasoned cybersecurity leadership who work alongside your executive team to build, mature, and manage a cost-effective and resilient security program.
Strategic OT Cybersecurity Platform Partnerships
Boots 2 Cyber partners with the four highest-ranked Operational Technology (OT) cybersecurity platforms identified in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Industrial Control Systems (ICS): Dragos, Armis, Claroty, and Nozomi Networks.
These organizations lead the OT cybersecurity market and protect critical infrastructure across defense, energy, manufacturing, utilities, and transportation sectors. Together, we continue to defend our Nation.
Why These Platforms Lead
- Asset Visibility and Discovery: Each platform delivers deep, non-intrusive asset discovery across OT, ICS, FRCS, IoT, IIoT, and legacy environments. Their technologies create precise asset inventories without operational disruption—essential in mission-critical environments where downtime carries strategic risk.
- Threat Detection and Response: These platforms deploy OT-native analytics, behavioral detection, signature intelligence, and machine-driven anomaly identification. Security teams gain real-time visibility into ransomware, insider threats, and nation-state activity. Integrated response capabilities reduce dwell time and accelerate containment.
- Vulnerability and Exposure Management: Each solution prioritizes vulnerabilities based on exploitability and mission impact. Risk scoring aligns with NIST, CMMC, DoD 8570.01-M, and DCWF standards. Security teams receive actionable intelligence that strengthens compliance posture and operational resilience.
- Scalability for Critical Infrastructure: Energy grids. Missile defense systems. Manufacturing lines. Transportation networks. These platforms operate across hybrid environments, support zero-trust architectures, enable secure remote access, and integrate with broader security ecosystems. They address emerging threats, including long-horizon “harvest now, decrypt later” strategies.
- Operational Resilience: Mission continuity defines success in OT security. These platforms reduce downtime, strengthen segmentation, preserve safety, and maintain operational stability in high-consequence environments.
Boots 2 Cyber Integration Through the B2C Academy and SkillBridge
Boots 2 Cyber, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), hires, trains, and redeploys veterans to protect critical infrastructure. Through our DoD-approved SkillBridge program and the B2C Academy, we equip transitioning servicemembers with mission-ready OT cybersecurity skills to enable them to continue to defend our Nation beyond the uniform.
Our OT Cybersecurity Training and Certification programs align with:
- DoD 8570.01-M
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework
- CMMC requirements
- DoD Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (DCWF)
SkillBridge Fellows complete hands-on apprenticeships, receive direct mentorship, and transition into operational roles that support DoD programs and commercial critical infrastructure.
These platform partnerships strengthen that ecosystem.
Platform Integration Within the B2C Academy
Our partnership with Dragos anchors OT-native threat intelligence instruction. Fellows gain expertise in ICS visibility, threat intelligence, and incident response through access to Dragos Academy curriculum and real-world application. This experience prepares them to safeguard DoD-critical infrastructure, missile defense systems, and energy environments against advanced adversaries.
Armis supports asset-centric exposure management across converged IT and OT ecosystems. Fellows apply Armis capabilities to support zero-trust implementation and proactive risk reduction in complex industrial settings that demand enterprise-wide visibility.
Through Claroty integration, Fellows master cyber-physical system protection, asset visibility, and risk prioritization across OT and IoT environments. Instruction emphasizes secure remote access, compliance alignment, and mission-critical industrial environments where disruption carries life-safety consequences.
Nozomi technology strengthens Academy instruction in OT and IoT visibility and anomaly detection. Fellows analyze industrial traffic patterns, identify abnormal behavior, and apply resilient security architectures across utilities, manufacturing, and defense environments.
SMPL‑C simplifies compliance and amplifies growth with its AI‑powered platform for CMMC certification. Designed for consultants, MSPs, and internal teams, SMPL‑C automates complex workflows, reduces costs, and accelerates compliance, helping organizations stay secure and ahead of evolving federal requirements.
Strategic Platform Partnerships in Defense of Our Nation
These partnerships elevate Boots 2 Cyber beyond traditional training models. Fellows gain direct exposure to the platforms that protect our Nation’s most critical systems. They enter the workforce prepared to defend missile defense infrastructure, transportation networks, energy grids, and advanced manufacturing environments.
Boots 2 Cyber closes the OT cybersecurity talent gap, strengthens operational resilience, and empowers veterans to continue to defend our Nation through purposeful mission.
Cybersecurity is National Security.
The United States Government (USG) trained us to Defend the Nation…Boots to Cyber continues the mission through Cybersecurity.
We specialize in cybersecurity for industrial control systems and offer strategic and tactical services and consultation to solve our country’s cyber skills shortage and protect our critical infrastructure.
Boots to Cyber is on mission to continue to defend our Nation and its infrastructure. We do this through our DoD approved SkillBridge program, strategic partnerships with SANS, CompTIA, EC Council, and OT Security Technology Vendors. We have the capability to train the required cybersecurity certifications across ALL DoD mandated Cybersecurity roles at ALL levels to meet DoD 8570.01-Manual Approved Baseline Certification requirements.
Boots to Cyber is proud to be a Small Business Administration (SBA)-certified Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)
