Today’s sophisticated Operations Technology (OT) environments have a large attack surface with numerous attack vectors. Without complete coverage, the likelihood of getting attacked is not a matter of ‘if’; it’s a matter of ‘when’. Security for OT has gained significant attention due to a confluence of events. Up until only recently the IT infrastructure played front and center in terms of ensuring complete visibility, security and control mostly because this was ground zero for where organizations were being attacked. For the better part of two decades this is what kept the CISO up at night; but the reality has changed. With our increasingly interconnected world through the adoption if IIoT, OT has quickly caught up as a lightning rod for new attacks and increased security concerns. In addressing this relatively new security threat that is specifically targeting industrial operations, network monitoring is not enough. It is essential to gain visibility to the entire industrial control system (ICS) environment. This can only be accomplished by taking a forward leaning security posture. This paper will help you identify the key elements needed to progress beyond simple passive monitoring in order to secure your industrial organization from the clear and present threat. |
