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.

The Quantum Compliance Leap: Preparing for Q-Day

Cristin Flynn Goodwin
OT cybersecurity expert Mike Holcomb joins the Nexus Podcast live from S4 Conference in Miami to discuss how state actors may be leveraging hacktivists to target operational technology (OT). Holcomb has delineated these groups in what he calls a Converged Actor Framework that categorizes threat actors by the impact and frequency of their incidents. A converged actor is potentially the riskiest given the potential for high frequency high impact incidents.

ENISA Attempts to Move NIS2 Forward with NIS360 Findings

A diversified operational technology (OT) cybersecurity monitoring platform plays a key role in strengthening the protection of cyber-physical systems by providing clear visibility, real-time threat detection, and proactive risk mitigation. By integrating multiple monitoring tools and technologies, organizations can build a layered security approach that minimizes vulnerabilities, improves response times, and keeps critical systems resilient against cyber threats.

Diversified Monitoring Essential to a Strong OT Cybersecurity Foundation

John Ballentine
Building management or automation systems are increasingly being connected online. Each connection to the internet introduces a new risk. Attackers looking for an entry point onto an internal network or to disrupt operations within a building could target a vulnerability in an internet-facing system and put the physical safety of occupants—or patients at a hospital, for example—at risk.
