Challenges
- Lack of visibility into OT assets and the vulnerabilities associated with them
- Lack of coordination and collaboration between OT and IT organizations
- Legacy Infrastructural OT systems cannot be patched for cybersecurity vulnerabilities
- Lack of skillsets and understanding of security best practices related to network segmentation and zero-trust architecture
Best Practices
Build a comprehensive security strategy that addresses the cybersecurity risk associated with IT/OT convergence
Redesign the architecture to incorporate network segmentation and zero-trust
Implement passive security solutions to identify vulnerabilities and threat detection
Implement converged IT and OT security monitoring strategy
