Cybersecurity consulting services for Operational Technology (OT) focus on specific needs, including ICS architecture review, OT risk assessment, compliance and regulatory support, and third-party risk assessment. Unlike traditional IT security, which prioritizes confidentiality, ICS security emphasizes safety and availability due to the potential for real-world consequences in case of a breach.
Attacks on ICS can disrupt production, damage equipment, cause environmental harm, and even threaten public safety. The convergence of IT and OT networks, driven by the need for efficiency and data access, has exposed ICS to a broader range of cyber threats. This connectivity, along with the rise of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), has significantly expanded the attack surface.
This service provides ICS Architecture expertise to design a robust and scalable security architecture that aligns with OT industry best practices and regulatory requirements. This includes review of existing network segmentation, access controls, intrusion detection systems, and incident response capabilities.
This service provides a comprehensive assessment of an organization's OT security posture. It establishes a security baseline, maps threats to risk classifications, examines network topology and data flow, and conducts site assessments (interviews, and system inspections). The OT Risk Assessment identifies high-risk areas, helps prioritize improvements, and assists in developing a long-term security strategy to mitigate cyber risks and prevent production downtime.
This service offers organizations access to experienced OT cybersecurity professionals to assist with building and maintaining a secure OT environment. The service scope can be tailored to specific needs, including risk assessments, OT security roadmaps, compliance activities (NIS2 EU Directive, NERC CIP), OT security policy definition and implementation, security framework implementation (NIST SP 800-82, ISO/IEC 62443), IT/OT role definition, OT security training, IIoT/OT security architectures, and OT incident response management.
This service helps organizations, particularly those in high-criticality sectors, comply with the NIS2 EU Directive and, for energy and utility companies operating within the Bulk Electric System in North America, the NERC CIP standards. These regulations mandate specific security and notification requirements for these sectors. The service includes identifying relevant security requirements, mapping them to the organization’s existing control framework, conducting a gap analysis, providing training and incident notification simulations, and preparing the organization for external audits.
This service helps you assess and manage the cybersecurity risks associated with third-party vendors and suppliers who have access to your critical infrastructure. This includes vendor security assessments, contract reviews, and ongoing monitoring of their security practices.
