Under Attack?
OT security begins where IT and production meet
OT security vulnerabilities typically surface where IT and production systems connect. Your OT team needs visibility across this converging landscape and an approach built for OT, not generic IT security. Handling security decisions at the production level, aligned with operational realities instead of data-centre schedules, means you maintain both uptime and safety.
This guide shows how to assess risk accurately, integrate testing and auditing without compromising uptime, and develop response plans that keep operations running. It's built for teams ready to own their OT security strategy.
Who this guide is for
Security, IT, and operations leaders who own OT risk as part of their mandate, whether that's a formal program already in place or a gap that's been flagged but not yet addressed. If IT and OT report to different teams, a recent audit turned up more than expected, or the next planning cycle needs a real budget case, this guide gives you a starting point grounded in what's actually happening in the field.
What's in the guide
-
The specific ways OT and IT security priorities pull in different directions, and why that matters for planning.
-
What recent data from Dragos, Palo Alto Networks, and the FBI shows about how fast industrial threats are growing.
-
The gaps, segmentation, unpatched systems, and remote access showing up across OT environments right now.
-
Where consulting, auditing, engineering, incident response, and training each fit into a complete OT security program.
-
What separates a partner who understands OT from one who applies a generic IT security approach.
Discover
-
Why "OT is air-gapped" is no longer a safe assumption, and what's replaced it as the real perimeter.
-
What incidents like FrostyGoop and a 2024 Texas water utility intrusion reveal about how these attacks actually unfold.
-
How IEC 62443, NERC CIP, and Canada's Critical Cyber Systems Protection Act shape what "compliant" actually requires.
-
What a service like DMZ penetration testing is specifically designed to catch, and why it exists as its own category.
-
What a properly resourced OT security function looks like, and which gaps to check for internally first.
