OT Security Challenges and Solutions for Critical Infrastructure Protection

Nov 13, 2024 By SafeAeon Inc. In SafeAeon
Critical infrastructure systems, such as power plants, water treatment plants, transportation networks, and factories, depend on operational technology (OT) to work. OT systems are meant to handle physical devices and processes, while traditional IT systems are mostly concerned with keeping data and information safe. Because of this main difference, OT security is very hard, especially since OT networks are becoming more and more linked to IT networks, which makes them more open to cyber dangers.

ICS Security Is a Team Sport

Nov 12, 2024 By Brandon Smith In BitSight
As we discussed in the first article in this series, there are many Internet-exposed control systems, but they are very different from traditional IT systems and require a different security approach. With these systems being so critical and controlling processes that can potentially lead to loss of life if they fail, what is being done to tackle this issue? In this article I’ll dive into this and more, looking at.

Resilience in Production: 5 Key Cybersecurity Challenges for Manufacturers

Sep 19, 2024 By Cody Jaster In Xona
Until recent decades, operational technology (OT) – a principal element in manufacturing – remained segmented from information technology (IT). OT systems, responsible for monitoring and controlling physical machinery and equipment, were manually managed by skilled workers, operated in isolation, and secure in their simplicity.
