Cybersecurity Approaches Unique to OT Security

The engineering profession has powerful tools to address physical risk, tools that should be applied to OT cyber risks much more routinely than they are today. For example: mechanical over-pressure relief valves prevent boilers from exploding for any reason, cyber attack or otherwise. These powerful tools are too often neglected for cyber threats because they have no analogue in IT security – they not even mentioned in most cybersecurity standards, regulations and advice.

are we still trying to protect industrial information

OT Security: Are We Protecting the Information?

Industrial network engineers have always been uneasy with the task of “protecting information”. The real priority for OT security is in stopping inbound malicious information from entering the system and threatening machinery and workers.

OT Security Solutions: Exploring Technologies

The operational technology (OT) environments that power critical infrastructure face rapidly escalating cyber threats. As facilities like power plants, water treatment centers, and manufacturing plants connect operations to external networks, they expose vulnerable legacy OT systems. Attacks like TRITON, Stuxnet, and Industroyer demonstrate the damage hackers can inflict when they access operational networks. To protect themselves, organizations need OT security solutions exploring for industrial control systems.

Cyber-Informed Engineering Transforms IT/OT Convergence in Oil & Gas Operations

IT/OT integration introduces threats to reliable operations. Connected networks move both data, malware, and remote-control cyber attacks along their wires and cables. In the Oil & Gas industry, E&P, pipelines, and refineries have found that securing IT/OT connections involves more than just having Enterprise Security telling Engineering what to do and Engineering saying “no” to IT over and over.
