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.

Ron Fabela joins the Nexus podcast to discuss his research into low-skilled threat actors targeting operational technology and industrial control systems. Many of these groups operate as hacktivists and carry out less sophisticated defacements and intrusions. While less of a risk, these incidents are still a drain on human resources required to investigate them and decided on mitigation strategies.

Brian Foster, senior advisor for grid security at Southern California Edison, joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss his presentation delivered at the S4 Conference on the risks of a hyperconnected grid. Adding a Wi-Fi connection to vulnerable smart meters that are enrolled by customers on a massive scale may allow attackers able to compromise centralized command and control of these devices to issue commands at scale that could result in catastrophic damage.

As shop floors and factories get smarter, there is an unprecedented surge in, and demand for, remote access to manufacturing systems. Former Pfizer global head of automation engineering Jim LaBonty writes for Claroty Nexus about the need to secure remote access to manufacturing environments to reduce risk and improve efficiency.

Accelerating IACS/OT Cybersecurity Improvements

Matthew Rogers, ICS Cybersecurity Strategy & R&D Lead at CISA, joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss the agency's and its international partners' release of a procurement guide for operational technology (OT) owners and operators . The guide describes 12 OT cybersecurity elements that buyers should be looking for, and hopefully influencing automation and control system vendors to implement. Rogers hopes this initiative not only gives OT asset owners some agency during procurement, but also to creates a market-influenced demand among leading vendors to integrate these security elements by default into OT products.
