OT network security and vulnerability management for industrial environments
ComTec is a 501–1,000-person IT services firm shifting focus toward operational-technology (OT) security. Their active project list—vulnerability scanning in OT environments, OT network segmentation, asset-vulnerability integration, and OT-specific reporting—combined with hiring in engineering and security roles, reveals a deliberate expansion into industrial cybersecurity. The stack (Nessus, Tenable tools, ServiceNow, AWS) and repeated pain-point focus on minimizing operational impact during scans signals they're solving for a distinct segment: enterprises where downtime costs are measured in production loss, not just dollars.
ComTec is a privately held IT services and consulting firm founded in 1996, headquartered in Irving, Texas. The company operates across onsite, offshore, and hybrid engagement models, serving mid-market and enterprise customers with custom technology solutions. Historically their service portfolio spans digital transformation, cloud, SAP/Oracle implementations, and infrastructure management. In the past two years, they have shifted strategic emphasis toward operational-technology (OT) security and vulnerability management—a vertical with distinct technical and operational constraints compared to traditional IT infrastructure.
ComTec uses Nessus and Tenable.sc/Tenable.io for vulnerability scanning, ServiceNow for asset and incident management, AWS (data lake), Power BI, SAP EWM, SQL, Python, PowerShell, and Windows 10/11. Stack reflects both legacy enterprise systems (SAP) and modern cloud/security tooling.
Primary projects center on OT (operational-technology) security: vulnerability scanning and assessment in OT networks, network segmentation and risk assessment, integrating vulnerability data with asset management, and building OT vulnerability reporting and metrics. Also running an AWS data lake project.
