CAI Software has been building enterprise software since 1978 - 45 years of shipping code into some of the most attack-prone environments in the industrial stack. The company's core products sit at the intersection of enterprise resource planning (ERP), manufacturing execution systems (MES), and warehouse management, connecting front-office operations to production floors and shipping docks. For security teams, that means the threat surface spans IT/OT boundaries: legacy integrations, connected workflows replacing paper-based processes, and systems that handle compliance-critical data across 15 core industries in 10+ countries.
The platforms are designed to replace fragmented, paper-based processes with digital workflows - a shift that introduces new vectors around data integrity, access control, and operational visibility. Manufacturing and processing environments carry specific risks: ransomware targeting production continuity, supply chain compromise through warehouse management systems, and ERP-layer credential abuse. CAI Software operates across manufacturing, processing, and distribution verticals, domains where downtime is measured in physical output, not just SLA violations.
With approximately 800 employees spread across 10+ countries, the company is at a scale where security tooling and governance need to be real, not aspirational. The engineering challenge is securing software that runs inside plants, not just offices - where the consequences of a breach move from data exfiltration to halted production lines.
