The rapid digitization of manufacturing, energy, and critical infrastructure industries has brought about a significant transformation in how Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) interact. This convergence presents exciting opportunities for efficiency and innovation, but it also introduces...
No matter whether you make cookies or cars, there’s almost no tolerance for downtime in Operational Technology and Industrial Control System (OT/ICS) environments. In these OT/ICS environments today, the concept of migrating industrial manufacturing cybersecurity to the cloud has allowed for gains in reliability,...
The convergence of IT and OT has blurred traditional security boundaries, leaving industrial networks vulnerable to sophisticated cyberattacks. Zero Trust, a security model that assumes no user or device is inherently trustworthy, offers a robust approach to protecting critical OT systems. By continuously verifying...
In 2020, incidents targeting OT and industrial control systems surged by a staggering 2,000%. Looking forward, IoT connections are projected to hit 83 billion by 2024, with over 70% in the industrial sector, underscoring the pressing necessity for secure communication between OT and IT systems.
This digital...
In the latest weekly update, editors at Information Security Media Group discuss why a growing number of U.S. and Canadian hospitals have been forced to turn away patients because of cyberattacks, innovations that have surfaced during the Israel-Hamas war and the future of industrial automation.
In partnership with the Cyentia Institute, Rockwell Automation analyzed cybersecurity events involving compromised OT/ICS, taking a deep dive into the origin and history of those events, as well as the OT implications.
Remote 3rd-party access is a particular problem in OT environments compared to IT environments, since OT often uses older legacy systems with longer replacement cycles. Consequently, the operators may not be familiar with using more advanced systems with remote connections as they more often work on-site.
Also, there...
Developed as a means of providing remote universal access to OT systems, SCADA systems are a kind of central nervous system for industrial plants.
Supervisory computers and sensors from PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and RTUs (Remote Terminal Units) feed data back to the SCADA system which monitors and...
In the rapid digitization of manufacturing, energy, and critical infrastructure industries, the integration of Operational Technology (OT) with Information Technology (IT) systems is driving innovation and efficiency. However, this convergence brings a pressing concern: cybersecurity threats targeting OT environments...
Microsoft spent the past year testing how generative AI can boost productivity, accelerate learning curves and drive collaboration for itself, its partners and its customers. Microsoft infuses generative AI into every product it builds and now uses generative AI to build generative AI capabilities.
Heavy reliance on legacy systems by the manufacturing organizations have led to cyberattacks becoming more frequent, complex and nuanced over the past two years. Rockwell Automation has sought to build cyber resilience and mitigate risk in industrial operations.
Rockwell's automation efforts have moved away from a purely programmed approach to one that combines programming and self-learning based on specified parameters. Rockwell trained autonomous vehicles using real-time learning and millions of images that capture optimal behavior by human drivers.
Rockwell Automation's acquisition of industrial cybersecurity vendor Verve will help businesses better handle one of the biggest challenges with critical infrastructure: asset identification. Industrial organizations need to manage plants located all over the world, and some of them are very old.
Operational technology security continues to evolve rapidly. According to Gartner, Security and Risk Management (SRM) leaders, responsible for the technology, information and risk to OT systems, should anchor security efforts to operational resilience in the face of mounting risks by adopting an integrated security...
This report on Industrial OT Security focuses on how organizations have been able to use this method to detect, categorize and protect assets in their manufacturing and industrial OT security environments. As per this report this method helps lower risk for Industrial OT Environments and provides a return on...
