Operational technologies

industrial control and monitoring systems are important builders of our modern society

Automation and robotics in all manufacturing, processing, and mining sectors are advancing by leaps and bounds. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the security of these technologies, which are so essential for the life of our society.

OTsec will help in the following areas:

  • Services of an external Cybersecurity Architect focusing on OT
  • Security validation and testing of OT technological units and entire plants
  • Inventory, documentation of the state, analysis, and risk assessment
  • Creation of a plan and supervision of the implementation of OT/ICS security development
  • Assistance with responding to security incidents (Incident Response Retainer)
  • Demonstration and testing/pilot of the following OT security technologies
    • Non-invasive security inspection of OT/ICS systems
    • Protection of control systems by deploying ICS protective software
    • Segmentation of OT networks and deployment of industrial IPS and FW
    • Protection and management of remote access using Zero Trust technologies
    • OT backup, testing of backup plans, and recovery
    • OT Security Operation Cente
  • Supervision of the implementation of third-party security technologies
  • Cybersecurity training for your OT personnel

The main goal of OTsec is to help improve your OT/ICS security posture

OT/ICS security

Our company does not directly engage in the installation and service of technological security systems, but we supplement your human resources and bring the necessary knowledge. We help with the selection of suitable technologies, their suppliers, and oversee the proper implementation of processes, technologies, and OT personnel cybersecurity training.

OT/ICS Security?

OT/ICS security is focused on securing the practices and technologies deployed to monitor, detect, and control changes in the infrastructure of operational technologies and industrial control systems, their processes, and data.

Availability of OT/ICS Comes First

When you look at cybersecurity from the perspective of the potential consequences of a security incident, in IT, the risk is usually “only” financial loss and possibly damage to the company’s goodwill. However, operational technologies control physical processes. Disruptions in physical processes can lead to financial loss but also to physical damage. This damage can affect not only the equipment itself but also human health or the environment. Therefore, in OT, from a security perspective, availability comes first, followed by maintaining integrity, and confidentiality is last. This sequence is a priority for us at OTsec, but our procedures bring benefits to all areas of the security triangle.
