Unlike Traditional IT environments, OT (Operational Technology)/ICS (Industrial Control Systems) pose some distinct challenges that require specialized resource capabilities, advanced security solutions and solid secure design practices that can ensure Safety, Avaliability, Integrity and Confidentiality of the environment.
Asset Visibility: Currently major issue subjected to OT/ICS environment is the lack of asset visibility. As they say "You cant protect, what you cant see."
A lot of OT/ICS systems rely on antiquated hardware and software that might be difficult to patch or update, making them open to attacks.
OT/ICS were frequently created with cybersecurity issues disregarded in favor of dependability and safety.
Both state and non-state actors are increasingly using OT/ICS systems as targets for sophisticated cyber-espionage and disruption campaigns.
OT/ICS settings frequently lack the forensic capabilities and cybersecurity incident response mechanisms that are common in IT.
Workers who have access to overtime environments may unintentionally or intentionally pose a threat.
Because OT devices frequently have low processing power, using conventional security solutions like intrusion detection systems or antivirus software may not be possible.
A lot of OT networks don't segment their networks properly, which makes it possible for an attacker to move laterally after they've got access.
As OT and IT environments become more connected, OT systems may become more vulnerable to cyberattacks that are typical of IT networks.
We strongly believe that with the blend of right People, Process and Technology any cyber security challenge can be addressed. DeltaRoot provides 24x7x365 OT monitoring services using a unique blend of below capabilities:
