Indurex, a new entrant in the industrial security market, has officially launched with a focus on protecting critical infrastructure, smart manufacturing environments, and connected industrial operations as cyber and physical systems increasingly converge.

Founded by a team of specialists in operational technology (OT), cybersecurity, and process safety, Indurex enters the market at a moment of growing urgency for industrial operators. Energy, utilities, and manufacturing organisations are grappling with the risks created by IT-OT convergence, cyber sabotage, and cascading system failures—pressures that are stretching traditional security and safety models beyond their limits. Tools designed for isolated IT environments or legacy control systems are proving insufficient in highly interconnected industrial settings, where digital threats can have immediate physical consequences.

“With Indurex, cybersecurity and safety are no longer managed in silos. The platform correlates OT, safety, and engineering signals into one coherent view, allowing us to understand what really matters operationally,” said the head of OT & safety at a global manufacturing organization. “This has significantly improved our ability to move from detection to action, reducing noise and strengthening both safety integrity and cyber resilience.”

At the core of Indurex’s approach is what the company describes as Engineering Cyber Intelligence—an AI-native model that unifies engineering context with cybersecurity data. Industrial organisations have long managed safety and cybersecurity as separate disciplines, often resulting in alert fatigue and limited visibility into real operational risk. At the same time, AI-enabled cyber-physical threats are emerging that exploit process behaviour, safety dependencies, and human workflows, requiring new detection and response models.

“Indurex gives us continuous visibility into our critical terminal assets and how their condition affects operational, safety, and cyber risk,” said a senior operations & asset management leader at a global energy storage company. “Instead of static reports, we now have a dynamic view of risk that evolves with real-world operations, enabling faster, more confident decisions across engineering, operations, and security teams.”

By correlating operational and security telemetry, Indurex converts complex industrial data into context-aware insights, supporting improved uptime, stronger cyber resilience, and automated compliance reporting.

“For utilities, energy operators, and data centres, Indurex replaces fragmented tools and noisy alerts with a unified, AI-powered view,” said Jalal Bouhdada, Founder & CEO of Indurex. “Our platform turns scattered alarms and events into meaningful, AI-driven insights, enabling faster decisions, less noise, and measurable gains in uptime, safety, and compliance.”

The company’s founding team brings experience across asset owners, OEMs, standards bodies, and cybersecurity firms. Bouhdada and Co-founder Maarten Oosterink have contributed to industrial safety and secure system design initiatives globally.

“Our vision is to make the connected world safer by bridging the digital and physical,” added Maarten Oosterink. “With deep technical expertise and industry validation, we’re helping organisations defend against the next generation of cyber-physical threats.”

Industry analysts see the launch as timely. “The industry is reaching a tipping point where human reaction time is no longer a sufficient defense against the velocity of modern threats,” said Thomas Menze, General Manager, ARC Advisory Group.

“By prioritizing autonomous resilience over traditional, reactive security, Indurex allows critical infrastructure to adapt in real-time. This shift from manual intervention to a self-healing operational posture is the only way to maintain stability in an increasingly volatile digital landscape.”
