ICS/SCADA Security

In today's digital age, critical infrastructure industries rely heavily on operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS) to run their operations. However, these systems are often isolated through air-gapped networks, making OT personnel dependent on removable media devices to

Network segmentation offers many benefits for businesses. Segmentation improves security by preventing attacks from spreading across a network and infiltrating unprotected devices. In the event of an attack, segmentation ensures that malware cannot spread into other business systems. Network segmentation

A good portion of existing operational technology (OT) networks were originally built during the air gap days, where isolation from other enterprise systems made for sufficient security. As digital transformation initiatives drive IT and OT networks towards convergence, the result

Connected Building Management Systems (BMS) definitely make a difference in terms of increasing operational performance, reducing energy and maintenance costs, and improving building health and safety. None of this could happen if it weren’t for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) like

A new report on Operational Technology (OT) equipment flaws from automated cybersecurity software company Forescout outlines the alarming state of OT security. The report titled OT:ICEFALL was crafted by researchers at the company’s Vedere lab. It breaks down 56 vulnerabilities

As recent cyberattacks have demonstrated increased risk to both IT and operational technology (OT) environments, resilience readiness today has evolved. It is more than a cybersecurity strategy and involves the enforcement of rules and policies that provide the visibility, control,

The accelerating transition to digital transformation, with much data and information being processed on the cloud, has opened up exciting new business opportunities, but it has also increased the risk that manufacturing companies may suffer in terms of security. Cyber 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
