Cloud's Double-Edged Sword: Transforming OT Exposure Management

George V. Hulme
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.

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.
