ICS/SCADA Security

Understanding Operational Technology (OT) Operational technology (OT) uses hardware and software to manage industrial equipment and systems. OT controls high-tech specialist systems, like those found in the energy, industrial, manufacturing, oil and gas, robotics, telecommunications, waste control, and water control industries. Industrial

OT/ICS security teams hear different perspectives from different groups and are often left confused as to the best place to begin. In Verve’s 30 years of experience in OT/ICS cyber security and reliability services, we often hear a debate about the

Some of the OT security best practices for implementing a reliable protection system include: Network mapping and connectivity analysis Detection of suspicious activities, exposures, and malware attacks Implementing a zero-trust framework Aligning the right remote access tools Controlling identity and access management (IAM) Network Mapping

September is here. It's not the new year, but it's a new season. I guess it’s time to say goodbye to summer and hello to autumn! For this month, we’ve curated the list – and timeline – of IIoT and ICS

The cybersecurity world is currently grappling with a significant labor shortage. And that’s a problem with deep impacts. In fact, the Department of Homeland Security has cited the cybersecurity labor shortage as a major national security threat. The Washington Post notes

As attacks against OT systems increase, so does the need for secure SD-WAN. Learn what it takes to gain visibility, control and awareness. Experts are predicting that there will be an increasing number of attacks against critical infrastructure and operational technology

Since the introduction of Modbus in the late 1970s, network protocols for critical infrastructure and industrial automation have continually evolved. It’s only been in the past few years, though, that we’ve seen things go from slow evolution to seismic shift. As

Nothing’s better than summer, and celebrate we shall - The 4th of July! For this month, we’ve curated the list – and timeline – of events happening in July 2022 around the globe, in-person or online, and what’s in it for

Ransomware attacks against operational technology (OT) are increasing, spurred on by the convergence of IT and OT networks and the accessibility of attack kits available on the dark web. Over the last two years, the range of targets that represent operational technology

The best way to defend against potential ransomware attacks is to deploy multiple layers of overlapping protective and defense measures and leverage an endpoint risk security program. The endpoint approach uses OT-specific endpoint visibility and inventory techniques to gather asset information
