Industrial (OT) Cyber security
Industrial assets are a necessity in today's society. The assets embed more and more software and connectivity options than ever before, which also makes them vulnerable to a cyber security attack. With the services of industrial cyber security, owners and operators are helped to identify the risk associated with a cyber security attack.
Industrial organizations are about security, reliability and accessibility, which is why it is important to protect all systems, sensors and networks against a cyber attack. This is put at serious risk today with the connectivity explosion of industrial (OT) systems (PLCs, ICS SCADA).
For these reasons, regulators clearly see the need for better security in the world of industrial organizations. The European Union parliament adopted the Network and Information Security (NIS) directive in 2016 and converted it to law in most EU nations in 2018. This is complemented by ENISA guidelines and by the IEC 62443 standard. In the US, several OT and ICS SCADA guidelines and standards were released by NIST, NERC and DHS.
