OT Security
What is Operational Technology OT Cybersecurity?
Operational technology (OT) includes computer systems designed to be deployed in critical infrastructure (power, water, etc.), manufacturing, and similar industries. They automate, monitor, and manage the operations of industrial machinery, using custom protocols and software to communicate with legacy and proprietary systems.
In the past, OT systems have been kept distinct and disconnected from IT environments; however, with the rise of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the distinction between the two environments is blurring. With these changes comes an increased need for OT security.
Challenges In Operational Technology OT Cybersecurity?
- Lack of security awareness among OT staff
- Lack of visibility into all of the OT systems on the manufacturing floor
- Shared network infrastructure within the manufacturing floor between systems
- Inability to address security issues by patching the OT systems
- Increased attack surface with the increase in OT/IT convergence
- Remote maintenance of OT systems occurs over the internet
- Providing access to third parties for remote monitoring and maintenance
- Different plants within the same company have completely different OT environments
