In today’s interconnected industrial landscape, where Operational Technology (OT) systems converge with digital networks, the potential for cyber threats looms large. Without a clear understanding of the likelihood and impact of these threats, it becomes challenging to allocate resources effectively and prioritize security investments. By quantifying Industrial Control System (ICS) risk, organizations can transform vague […]

The unified namespace is the next iteration in the Industrial Internet of Things’ (IIoT’s) digital transformation. A unified namespace is a single source of truth for IIoT data. It combines components from the pyramidal network-and-system ISA 95 functional model with the advanced capabilities of modern cloud software. The unified namespace architecture includes a centralized repository […]

The OT environment is different from the IT environment in many ways, with proprietary and multi-vendor systems that require a specialized approach. The existing managed security services are generally inadequate as they are focused on IT rather than OT, and the lack of open standards means they are tied to a single vendor. In contrast, […]

“Timely and secure information sharing can bridge the gap between vulnerability and security.”This was a key message from a webinar on ICS & OT Supply Chain Risk Management presented by Information Security Media Group. The webinar discussed how Industrial Controls Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT) can be particularly vulnerable to supply chain risks. In addition, it […]

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 is a network where anything can theoretically connect to anything else. That’s a dangerous amount […]

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, and situational awareness to respond at the speed of business while ensuring that safety and […]

Earlier this year, a colleague of mine and I were on our way to the IoT Solutions World Congress in Barcelona. Although we made our connecting flights, a couple of minutes after deplaning, we received emails and texts from the airline informing us that our luggage was not on the plane. The text then asked us […]

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 affecting 26 devices from 10 vendors in OT. The findings sound an already blaring alarm […]
