Remote-control operation provides remote maintenance support and problem solving and offers access to a larger team of experts. It also lowers worker exposure to risk-prone environments. Given the shortage of skilled labour in remote areas, this is clearly a significant asset for your organization. To secure these benefits, you need a telecommunications infrastructure that can provide robust, high-performance, cybersecure data transmission to all areas of your industrial sites, and over long distances, where required. ## The importance of cybersecurity and control system availability The convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology is not without its own perils and must be rigorously managed. Cyber threats are increasingly putting your operations at risk. As a result, you need to significantly reduce the number of failures in your industrial systems that have negative consequences on your company, whether they’re major production shutdowns or even events affecting work health and safety or the environment (injuries, toxic product spills, equipment failures, etc.). That’s why solutions must be implemented to increase profitability and reduce costs, while keeping operations safe. 2. - ![Man looking at a tablet - Cybersecurity](https://www.assets.bbaconsultants.com/bba-production-assets/production/images/Industries-et-services/_3000x3333_fit_center-center_100_none_ffffff/38949/U-Advisory_Cybersecurity_Man_Controlroom_shutterstock_1682600938.webp) ## BBA’s flexible and integrated approach Our experts design and deploy technological infrastructures using industry best practices and focusing on long-term system evolution. This is one of the key advantages of working with our multidisciplinary industrial teams: they’re familiar with the latest predictive maintenance and operational intelligence applications, manufacturing execution systems (MES), quality management systems, etc. With an understanding of industry needs and constantly on the lookout for emerging technologies, our teams build flexible, scalable and, above all, cybersecure technological infrastructures. 3. ## Solutions we offer - [ 03 Dec 2025 Power and Renewables Data centres serving communities - ![Pr employee men scott fleming retouch web SQ LR BBA](https://www.assets.bbaconsultants.com/bba-production-assets/production/images/avatars/_size_avatar/204270/pr_employee_men_scott-fleming_retouch_web_SQ_LR_BBA.webp) - ![Yves Bétournay](https://www.assets.bbaconsultants.com/bba-production-assets/production/images/avatars/_size_avatar/3239/Yves-Betournay.webp) ](https://www.bbaconsultants.com/en-us/publications/data-center-design-economic-driver-us "Data centres serving communities") - [ 26 Nov 2025 From obsolescence to opportunity: modernizing control systems for sustainable operations - ![Source small 1](https://www.assets.bbaconsultants.com/bba-production-assets/production/images/avatars/_size_avatar/204199/source_small-1.webp) Kevin Galvez Engineer in Training - Automation ](https://www.bbaconsultants.com/en-us/publications/industrial-control-system-upgrade-us "From obsolescence to opportunity: modernizing control systems for sustainable operations") - [ 16 Oct 2025 Uncovering hidden risks in operational technology systems with red teaming - ![Shayne Casavant](https://www.assets.bbaconsultants.com/bba-production-assets/production/images/avatars/_size_avatar/2626/Shayne-Casavant.webp) Shayne Casavant, P.Eng.
