OT Security Blog Articles

Fact is that oftentimes the chances that an asset owner’s investment in ICS Detection technology and related services easily exceeds the damage that could reasonably be expected from a cyber-physical attack.

In the world of Operational Technology (OT), we find several orders of magnitudes more vulnerabilities than in IT. Therefore, vulnerability identification and management becomes a much more challenging task that requires a dedicated tool. Vulnerability matching is one...

Several other engineering use cases are just as important, if not more so. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the engineering use cases OTbase addresses and explain why they’re just as crucial as managing common security use cases.

Automated inventory solutions can provide real-time visibility, accuracy, scalability, and compliance, which are essential for modern OT environments’ complex requirements. By automating the inventory process, engineers can free up time to focus on other critical tasks, improve accuracy, and reduce the risk of security incidents.

By following these basic principles, organizations can effectively manage their operational technology assets, ensure their reliability and security, and optimize the performance of their industrial processes.

A single vulnerability can cause substantial damage to critical infrastructure and result in significant security breaches. However, managing OT vulnerabilities is not always a simple process. It can be intimidating, especially when performed manually. Therefore, OT vulnerability management must be automated to increase efficiency and effectiveness. 

In the current digital era, the manufacturing and oil and gas industries extensively rely on technology to increase efficiency and productivity. However, as technological dependence increases, so does the risk of cyber attacks and security breaches. For the success of these industries, an effective operational technology (OT) asset inventory is essential.  

Oil and gas companies must use active probing as part of their OT strategy if they want to stay safe, reliable, and efficient. This will give us the visibility, speed, and accuracy we need to find threats and issues quickly, deal with them, and fix them before they become big problems.
