Correlating Signal with Context

OT-ISAC Regional Director AJ Eserjose writes about the changing defensive landscape around OT, and AI's machine-speed capabilities to contextualize the environment.

Operational resilience must evolve as artificial intelligence becomes a prominent tool in the protection of operational technology (OT) and cyber-physical systems (CPS). Defenders may use AI to correlate operational signals at machine speed to make more context-informed judgments about the intent behind changes to a facility.

The NSA's Cybersecurity Technical Report on securing smart OT controllers champions secure-by-design and cyber-informed engineering, stating they prioritize “engineering controls to mitigate the worst consequences of cyberattacks”-like physical damage or loss of life. CIE moves cybersecurity from a design afterthought to a core engineering discipline. Traditional OT security often relied on air-gapping or retrofitting defenses, but CIE mandates designing systems that inherently resist attacks.
