FEATURES, INSIGHTS // ICS/OT
If you’re a CISO or security leader, here are three questions to ask yourself as you consider this legislation and look to improve the security posture of your OT environment.
Whether your company is assessing your existing capability to detect and respond to threats within your OT environment or considering new solutions, these three questions can help guide your evaluation:
Wherever you are on your industrial cybersecurity journey, the important thing is to start strengthening cyber defenses and resilience now.
ICS operators need additional methods of obscuring their critical infrastructure from cyber security threats and tactics while allowing teams to more anonymously conduct incident detection and response.
Adversaries are evolving their approaches and escalating attacks against industrial networks. They aren’t operating on our timelines, so we need to focus on what we can do next week and next month to reduce risk the most.
Companies in the industrial space face unique challenges when it comes to revealing what needs to be secured.
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.
