OT and Cybersecurity

Cyber Risk in Industrial Facilities
Industrial automation vendor adoption of Industry 4.0 and digitalization capabilities is changing the landscape of the plant floor environment. Traditionally air-gapped from outside networks, the advancement of software applications, proliferation of internet-enabled devices, and desire to collect and analyze data for production efficiencies has fundamentally changed our industrial control systems (ICS), delivering a multitude of benefits but also opening the door to increasing system vulnerability.

Every network connection is a potential point of entry for hackers and malicious code. Having a robust cyber security strategy to protect intellectual property, keeping the manufacturing floor safe, and competitively leveraging advances in technology have become priorities for most CIOs and executive leadership teams.

Cybersecurity Compliance

While cybersecurity compliance often drives the decision to evaluate and mitigate cyber risk, cyber preparedness not only protects your company from potential hackers – it prepares you to react quickly to unexpected losses or natural disasters. While ransomware attacks may be relatively rare, we have all experienced the panic of a system going down or a piece of malfunctioning hardware.

Creating a comprehensive cybersecurity plan protects your team and your business from common and uncommon risks.
