A comprehensive cybersecurity program for operational technology (OT) includes robust security measures and requires collaboration with engineering teams to ensure that operational continuity and safety are considered.
Operational technology (OT) cybersecurity has received increasing scrutiny in industrial environments as information technology (IT) and OT converge. The introduction of new and evolving technologies into the OT environment expands potential entry points for cyber threats. Traditional approaches to securing these environments often involve compliance with standards that secure networks and computers. As an element of the OT space, an industrial control system (ICS) connects to the physical world. Its unique and purpose-built components present challenges for typical cybersecurity controls.
This article discusses a holistic approach to OT security that encompasses measures traditionally considered cybersecurity along with engineering solutions to enhance the resilience of these critical systems...
