WHY WE EXIST

Empowering IT and OT to Succeed Together

Factory environments are deeply fragmented, built on a mix of legacy and new systems, stitched together through decades of vendor-specific fixes. Every site is different. Every solution is bespoke.
Yet IT is now expected to manage OT with tools, policies, and teams never designed for this level of complexity. For most IT teams, OT is just one part of a much broader estate, yet it is also mission-critical.
Yes, security matters. But when operations are fully connected, protected, and under control, the gains go further: complexity becomes clarity, resilience turns risk into strength, and systems evolve in step with the business.
Proof in the numbers

Think OT isn’t a risk? Think again

OT is often overlooked by IT, but it’s also the least protected and most operationally critical layer of your infrastructure. The figures speak for themselves.

IT Responsibility 
vs. Readiness

40% of EMEA organisations say IT teams alone are responsible for OT access. Another 40% share the responsibility. Yet over half admit they lack the expertise to secure OT and nearly 40% believe no solutions even exist.

Gaping Holes in OT Security

On average, 77 vendors and third parties have access to an organisation’s OT environment. Only 23% maintain an accurate OT asset inventory. Fewer than 20% are highly concerned about the risks of third-party access

OT: The #1 Risk in IT

Manufacturing has been the #1 entry point for cyberattacks for three years running – average annual loss per site: $875,000. And 40% of cybercriminals don’t hack in – they log in as valid users.

The Hidden Risks of Industry 4.0

More than 70% of companies investing in Industry 4.0 never move beyond the pilot phase. Failed integrations, and gaps in readiness keep projects from scaling.

Frequently asked questions

Heliqx began with a few simple but tough questions

Delivering confidence didn’t happen by chance. It started with Heliqx asking a few tough questions that others often overlooked.

IT may have focused too much on technology. Or maybe we haven’t framed it in terms that matter most to leaders: risk, continuity, performance. Either way, it’s time to bring IT-in-OT into the spotlight where it belongs.

What would it take to get everyone around the table with the clarity and confidence to solve this? It may start with a different conversation. Different tools. Different teams. A new mindset.

Consulting frameworks often look good on paper but fail in practice. Plug-and-play tools promise the world but don’t fit reality on the ground. What’s needed are solutions tailored for everyday use and simple enough to scale.

A legacy system no one connected to. An integration that didn’t scale. A tool that stopped fitting as the business evolved. In OT, it’s often the last 0.5% that makes all the difference.

Yes, it matters. But once your operations are connected, secure, and under control, the real gains begin: clarity instead of complexity, resilience instead of risk, and adaptive systems that keep pace with your business. Some call it Industry 4.0. We prefer simpler language—and outcomes that truly serve our customers.
