Business demands are reshaping the Operational Technology (OT) landscape. Control system architectures originally designed for isolated, high-trust environments are now increasingly connected to upstream enterprise networks. As this OT/IT convergence grows, threat actors are turning their focus toward Industrial Control Systems (ICS) to advance their objectives. Securing these interconnected environments is critical to protect human safety, maintain system integrity, and ensure business continuity.
Key Challenges in OT Security
OT environments present unique security challenges that differ significantly from traditional IT systems:
Legacy Systems
Many OT devices were designed decades ago with minimal or no cybersecurity considerations, making them vulnerable to modern threats.
Downtime Sensitivity
OT systems often operate 24/7, leaving little room for traditional maintenance and patching schedules.
Specialized Protocols
Proprietary protocols and unique communication standards create hurdles for standard security tools.
Physical Impact
Cyberattacks on OT systems can lead to physical consequences, including safety risks and operational disruptions.
Lack of Visibility
Limited monitoring and fragmented systems make it difficult to identify and mitigate risks across the OT landscape.
OT Security Services
Our OT security services are designed to proactively defend critical systems, reduce risk, and ensure operational resilience:
Penetration Testing
Safely assess security posture through controlled lab environments and network-layer testing. Our approach focuses on identifying weaknesses in supporting IT, iDMZ, and environments that interface with OT systems—strengthening defenses without disrupting operations or compromising safety.
Cyber Maturity Assessments
Benchmark your OT security posture against industry frameworks and standards like NIST CSF and ISA/IEC 62443. Identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in your systems, networks, and operational processes, providing a clear roadmap to secure your critical operations.
Purple Team Engagements
Bridge the gap between IT and OT security with collaborative testing. We work with your teams to enhance detection and response capabilities, ensuring industrial systems stay protected from advanced threats.
Red Teaming
Emulate sophisticated attackers targeting your OT environment. Our red team challenges your defenses, tests incident response protocols, and identifies weaknesses unique to industrial control systems and critical infrastructure.
Incenter - Continuous Testing
Maintain security in your OT environment with our automated, continuous testing platform – Incenter. Proactively identify vulnerabilities as your industrial systems and networks evolve. Our ongoing testing promptly addresses new weaknesses, ensuring your critical operations remain secure and resilient.
