In the world of global conflict and increasing cyber attacks on critical infrastructure, securing OT, IoT, and IoMT systems is of paramount importance. This involves not just protecting the systems themselves but also ensuring that they can continue to operate effectively even if an attack does occur. This is where the field of Operational Technology in cybersecurity comes in.
Contact UsOperational Technology (OT) makes all these things happen and pervades our lives in both obvious and hidden ways, automatically monitoring and controlling processes and equipment that are too dangerous, too demanding, or too monotonous for manual operation. OT is defined as technology that interfaces with the physical world and includes Industrial Control Systems (ICS), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), and Distributed Control Systems (DCS).
Where cybersecurity for IT has traditionally been concerned with information confidentiality, integrity, and availability, OT priorities are often safety, reliability, and availability, as there are clearly physical dangers associated with OT failure or malfunction. Many businesses strive for improved OT process efficiency and reliability for their customers, which often results in increased connectivity to enterprise technologies and the Internet. This convergence has the potential to increase system vulnerabilities, but can be addressed by adopting sound risk management principles, which are the same regardless of the underlying system type.
Our experienced team of Cyber consultants working in conjunction with some of the world's leading OT Security software companies can provide your business with unrivalled advisory and implementation services to ensure your critical infrastructure is protected from successful Cyber attacks. We offer specialised expertise in the below services.
