Operational Technology (OT) systems are the foundation of critical industries, from energy and utilities to manufacturing and transportation. As these systems become more interconnected with IT networks, they face increasing exposure to cyber threats. Securing OT environments is essential to ensure the safety, reliability, and continuity of operations.
Key Challenges in OT Security
OT environments present unique security challenges that differ significantly from traditional IT systems:
Legacy Systems
Many OT devices were designed decades ago with minimal or no cybersecurity considerations, making them vulnerable to modern threats.
Downtime Sensitivity
OT systems often operate 24/7, leaving little room for traditional maintenance and patching schedules.
Specialized Protocols
Proprietary protocols and unique communication standards create hurdles for standard security tools.
Physical Impact
Cyberattacks on OT systems can lead to physical consequences, including safety risks and operational disruptions.
Lack of Visibility
Limited monitoring and fragmented systems make it difficult to identify and mitigate risks across the OT landscape.
OT Security Services
Our OT security services are designed to proactively defend critical systems, reduce risk, and ensure operational resilience:
Penetration Testing
Simulate real-world attacks on your OT environment to uncover vulnerabilities in industrial systems, protocols, and networks. Our testing ensures operational continuity while strengthening defenses against threats targeting critical infrastructure.
Cyber Maturity Assessments
Assess your OT security posture against industry frameworks like ISA 62443. We identify gaps in legacy systems, network segmentation, and operational processes, providing a clear roadmap to secure your critical operations.
Purple Team Engagements
Bridge the gap between IT and OT security with collaborative testing. We work with your teams to enhance detection and response capabilities, ensuring industrial systems stay protected from advanced threats.
Red Teaming
Emulate sophisticated attackers targeting your OT environment. Our red team challenges your defenses, tests incident response protocols, and identifies weaknesses unique to industrial control systems and critical infrastructure.
Incenter - Continuous Testing
Maintain security in your OT environment with our automated, continuous testing platform – Incenter. Proactively identify vulnerabilities as your industrial systems and networks evolve. Our ongoing testing promptly addresses new weaknesses, ensuring your critical operations remain secure and resilient.
