TECHNOLOGY
WHAT IS OT CYBERSECURITY
Operational Technology (OT) CyberSecurity is a rapidly developing segment of cybersecurity technology. The traditional "Air Gap", usually employed in Information Technology (IT) CyberSecurity solutions, is difficult to maintain in an ever-increasing connected world, where OT and IT networks are converging. IT CyberSecurity solutions are not designed to secure OT networks and assets.
WHY IS OT CYBERSECURITY NEEDED
Every business is at risk of a cyber attack and the prevalence of these attacks is
increasing every day. Most companies have IT CyberSecurity policies and systems in place believing that they are protected. Very few consider the vulnerabilities that are present in their OT environment.
WHERE IS OT CYBERSECURITY RELEVANT
OT CyberSecurity is particularly relevant in asset-intensive industries, such as retail, manufacturing, warehousing & logistics, healthcare, mining, smart buildings/cities, and infrastructure. Nowadays, most operational assets are highly intelligent and connected. If this equipment were to be exposed to a cyber attack, the entire operations could come to a halt, resulting in huge financial impacts, danger to human life, as well as damage to company credibility.
WHEN TO CONSIDER OT CYBERSECURITY
Specialised OT CyberSecurity technology focuses on identifying and, in some cases, preventing cyber attacks on operational assets. If you are an asset-intensive business, you are most likely highly exposed and at substantial risk of cyber threats. Investigating your vulnerabilities and addressing them through an OT CyberSecurity solution should be high on your agenda.

Examples of operational applications for OT CyberSecurity technology:
-
Preventing cyber attacks on transport infrastructure in smart cities - Ensure hackers cannot take control of a city's traffic lights, bus stations, and communication networks connecting transport hubs.
-
Halting access to the national power grid via Independent Power Providers - This will prevent unauthorised access and control of the national power infrastructure when independent renewable energy providers start supplying power into the grid.
-
Securing all smart building equipment - This will substantially reduce the risk of hackers accessing a company's critical data via building equipment, such as generators, air-conditioning, lighting control systems, access control & surveillance systems, or taking control of the fire prevention system, and demanding a ransom.
-
Preventing hackers from taking control of production equipment in a factory - This will stop an unauthorised take-over of the production equipment to prevent the factory from coming to a halt and losing millions in revenue as a result.
-
Stopping unauthorised access to critical life support equipment in a hospital - No hacker should be allowed to access critical healthcare equipment and take control of it. This would be catastrophic to human safety and life.
