The challenges that can stop a critical operation
The convergence of operational technology and corporate systems, operations in remote locations and growing digitalization raise the demands for connectivity, visibility, protection and continuity in energy, mining, oil and gas.
Limited visibility between IT and OT
Lack of centralized visibility makes it hard to know which devices, assets and communications are part of the industrial environment.
Legacy OT infrastructure
SCADA systems, PLCs, RTUs and other industrial assets may rely on older technologies that are hard to update and protect.
Expanding attack surface
IT/OT convergence, IIoT and remote access increase the number of points that must be identified, controlled and protected.
IT/OT cybersecurity risks
Threats, unauthorized access and lateral movement can compromise corporate systems and critical operational assets.
Operational efficiency
Fragmented processes and complex architectures make monitoring, management and efficient response in the field difficult.
Compliance and critical infrastructure
Organizations must strengthen their technology controls to meet growing regulatory and security requirements.
Incident response and continuity
A physical or cyber failure can affect production, asset availability and response capacity in the field.
FROM CHALLENGES TO SOLUTIONS
We connect each industry challenge with an architecture that combines communications, telemetry, cybersecurity and operational protection.

An architecture to connect headquarters and plants and protect the operation
See full case
GECELCA S.A. E.S.P. Secure connectivity and protection of IT/OT environments
The challenge
As a power generation company, GECELCA S.A. E.S.P. needed to guarantee connectivity between its headquarters and its two generation plants to reliably support access to its information systems. At the same time, its Operational Technology (OT) networks were significantly exposed, lacking sufficient protection and segmentation mechanisms against cybersecurity threats.
The solution
ECOMIL designed and implemented a comprehensive connectivity and cybersecurity architecture, strengthening communication between the three sites and protecting both the IT infrastructure and the OT environments of the generation plants.
The result
GECELCA strengthened the availability, security and continuity of its communications, improving access to its corporate systems and reducing the exposure of its operational networks.
Impact: site-to-site connectivity, IT/OT protection, greater operational continuity and reduced cybersecurity risk.
CENIT Secure connectivity for remote and field operations
The challenge
As the company responsible for transporting hydrocarbons through pipelines, CENIT needed to maintain reliable communications during maintenance activities, temporary camps, construction works and facilities located in remote areas.
The solution
ECOMIL implemented secure communications and connectivity solutions for field operations, providing voice capabilities in hard-to-reach areas, secure Internet access and data transmission to applications hosted in the organization's data center.
The result
The solution strengthened the continuity of field operations, improved coordination between technical teams and maintained the flow of information to corporate systems.
Impact: communications in remote areas, secure connectivity, field-to-data-center integration and greater operational visibility.
GRUPO MUZO Operational security, video surveillance and connectivity
The challenge
For Grupo Muzo, an emerald mining operator, one of the main challenges was related to people's safety, operational continuity and the protection of its video surveillance systems.
The solution
ECOMIL helped strengthen the client's technology infrastructure, adding operational security capabilities, protection of the closed-circuit television network, perimeter security and enterprise Wi-Fi connectivity.
The result
The solution improved the protection of assets, people and information and consolidated a more robust connectivity infrastructure to support the client's administrative and operational activities.
Impact: greater safety for people and assets, video surveillance protection, perimeter security and operational continuity.
