Helping organizations secure networks, safeguard OT and cloud environments, and embed security across development to help reduce risk and support scalable cloud transformation.
Enterprise & Cloud Security
Overview
As cloud adoption accelerates and threat actors target OT systems and application pipelines, fragmented controls create visibility gaps and increase risk exposure. PwC's Enterprise & Cloud Security services help organizations design resilient architectures, safeguard critical infrastructure, and embed security from code to cloud—reducing risk while enabling scalable, sustainable transformation.

- Network, OT & ICS security
- Secure cloud workloads & application security
Cloud security architecture, design & implementation
Design and deploy secure cloud environments built for agility and resilience. We evaluate existing cloud ecosystems to identify architectural gaps, misconfigurations, and compliance risks. Through secure landing zones, standardized frameworks, and AI-supported governance controls, we embed identity, network segmentation, and policy enforcement from day one. By strengthening cloud-native infrastructure and deploying end-to-end data protection—including classification, DLP, and zero trust—we help organizations accelerate secure adoption and help reduce attack surface across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform environments.
Network, OT & ICS security
Protect revenue-generating OT assets and critical infrastructure from cyber risk and operational disruption. We design OT security programs that align governance, funding, and operating models with the realities of industrial environments—integrating security into existing IT and business structures without disrupting production. Through network segmentation, passive monitoring, secure remote access, and identity management extended into OT, we help organizations reduce exposure while maintaining operational reliability. By combining strategy, architecture, and hands-on implementation, we support clients in moving from reactive controls to structured, risk-based programs that safeguard safety, uptime, and business continuity.
Secure cloud workloads & application security
Embed security across the software development lifecycle—from strategy and design to testing and operations. We integrate modern AppSec practices with emerging AI/ML security requirements, helping organizations protect both traditional applications and AI-enabled workloads. Through AI-driven automation, hardened DevSecOps pipelines, and intelligent controls, we help reduce vulnerabilities earlier in the lifecycle and lower remediation costs. By establishing unified metrics, governance frameworks, and scalable training programs, we help engineering teams build lasting security capability and accelerate innovation with reduced friction.
Use cases
Organizations face converging pressures: legacy environments that strain operations, threat actors targeting OT systems, and cloud adoption that outpaces security controls. PwC's Enterprise & Cloud Security practice helps clients address these challenges through integrated services spanning cloud architecture, network and OT security, and application protection. We design resilient architectures, safeguard critical infrastructure, and embed security across development—so you can reduce risk exposure and scale transformation with confidence.
Commingled IT and OT networks increase blast radius and expose production systems to enterprise-originated threats. We design segmented OT architectures and deploy passive monitoring across critical sites—so you can reduce attack paths into the shop floor while maintaining operational uptime.
Inconsistent configurations across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform create fragmented visibility and compliance risk. We evaluate cloud ecosystems to identify architectural gaps and deploy secure landing zones with embedded governance controls—so you can establish consistent, enforceable cloud security policies across environments.
Ransomware and ICS-specific malware now target industrial environments built for availability, not security. We design risk-based OT security programs aligned to operational realities and regulatory frameworks—so you can protect safety, uptime, and revenue without sacrificing production continuity.
Immature application security programs without clear governance drive higher remediation costs and slower delivery. We embed security-by-design practices across engineering, DevOps, and AI teams with AI-driven automation—so you can accelerate secure software delivery while reducing friction and rework.
Vendor access and maintenance needs create lateral movement risks in industrial environments. We design secure remote access solutions that balance operational uptime with authentication controls and privileged access management—so you can enable necessary connectivity without increasing exposure.
