Risk managers—especially C-suite and boards of directors—looking to establish a culture of OT cyber awareness and risk remediation proactivity in their organizations need to establish a formal and measurable program approach. The program must provide a shared vision and a practical roadmap that makes sense because it relates to many of the unique characteristics of their organization, OT environment, business model, and risk appetite.

ASL Roma 1's implementation of an advanced security operation center called HyperSOC allows it to convert its cybersecurity approach from reactive to proactive, ensuring effective management of cyber threats. The adoption of this safeguard has led to a significant reduction in security incidents, despite the growing number of attacks at national and European level, because of the continuous monitoring of the attack surface of the infrastructure, which guarantees a higher level of security than other peers in the sector.

Securing connectivity in operational technology (OT) environments is crucial for the safety of critical infrastructure and maintaining the uninterrupted service it provides. Leaving unnecessary open ports, protocols, and services exposed, along with directly connected devices to the internet, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and human machine interfaces (HMIs), greatly increases the risks of cyberattacks.
