Guide to Securing Manufacturing and Maintaining Operational Resilience in Cyber Physical Environments
Securing manufacturing environments is more critical than ever before—they are now the single most targeted Operational Technology (OT) industry globally according to CISA. In today’s complex ecosystems, manufacturing facilities are composed of interconnected OT and IT devices. OT systems drive the automation of production processes, while IT systems manage these OT networks. This guide aims to show that a security solution offering bespoke OT capabilities while acknowledging the interconnectedness with IT infrastructure is best placed to deliver attack prevention and process protection.
Understanding security in OT requires a holistic approach—prevention is always better than reaction. A thorough understanding of your entire factory’s asset makeup is crucial to ensuring robust security across both IT and OT landscapes.
Continue reading to learn how to gain a deeper understanding of your manufacturing environment to ensure strong protection across both IT and OT environments.
