FEATURES, INSIGHTS // ICS/OT
Proactive risk management requires being able to examine and address risk from different yet complementary perspectives to bring context to the overall security of an OT environment.
As industrial cybersecurity rises to the top of priority lists for CISOs and their boards, we have an opportunity to think differently about industrial operations protection.
The Swiss Army Knife approach helps ensure we’re prepared for many different situations and can act fast. It also makes sense for how we should approach industrial cybersecurity.
The change we encountered in 2020 was unprecedented and had a dramatic impact on our operational technology (OT) environments – accelerating and sometimes recasting how we address the following four key areas.
Security teams need to able to identify and track threats that cross the IT/OT boundary, which means having access to IT/OT threat signatures for the ICS networks as well.
In lock step with digital transformation projects, organizations are adopting the best practice of centralizing responsibility and accountability for securing the OT environment with the CISO.
How do we take what we’ve learned this year, capitalize on the change in mindset that it is possible to move fast, and apply it to seize the OT security opportunity in 2021?
As digital transformation and cybersecurity become pillars that successful companies will build their futures on, the time has come to include CISOs and CIOs on company boards.
Companies must instill a culture of resilience in which security improvements are emphasized as a fundamental component of an organization’s individual corporate culture
Let’s learn from the previous examples of economic warfare and use the detailed observations and recommendations from NSA and CISA to protect OT networks to our advantage.
