of large organizations do not use solutions to manage and maintain OT inventory for cybersecurity purposes.
Less than
30%
of organizations have an integrated approach to managing OT and IT resources in the context of cybersecurity.
Organizations nowadays seek practical and effective ways to digitize their manufacturing operations without compromising reliability, security and operational efficiency. Both IT and OT operations increasingly intersect and converge creating opportunities for organizational efficiencies in the Operational Technology area.
This IT/OT integration and convergence, however, exposes OT asset owners to new cybersecurity threats and creates pressure on cybersecurity teams to keep up with the velocity of changes introduced to the manufacturing environments. With the OT Security talent shortage nowadays – it is critical to build a solid digital OT Management foundation and prepare for the next generation of OT Management model which is Agile, Automated and Service Oriented.
So What?
Manufacturing Organizations need to re-engineer their IT/OT and Cybersecurity
Operating Models including organization, processes and tools to enable more
effective, scalable and quick delivery model.
The future of Operational Technology Management and OT Security is:
Agile
Automated
Service-oriented
OT projects are more often delivered by Agile Manufacturing Technology Teams that work hand-in-hand with IT, Engineering and Security teams. OT applications and OT infrastructure need a more agile approach throughout it’s lifecycle (delivery, security assurance and operations).
WE GOT IT!
How can IT, OT and security staff be brought together on a single platform to create a seamless experience for the next generation of OT operations?
The scale and speed of change as well as amount of threats and vulnerabilities to be managed in a typical OT environment – makes it difficult to be handled manually. Orchestration and automation of change and security processes allows to keep up with the amount of IT/OT cyber risks and allows to focus on what matters most to the operational teams.
The dependency between IT and OT domain increase and teams integrate and converge in more and more organizations. So should the processes responsible for management and maintenance of the underlying IT/OT infrastructure and applications. The journey of OT towards a Service-oriented model allows IT teams to speak with OT in the same language, and OT to have a better visibility of how IT can help them deliver their work.

As a result you gain visibility of your OT estate, relationships to OT Services and a strong foundation to build and automate your OT security, service management or risk management workflows
We help orchestrate and automate vulnerability response process by integrating vulnerability sources, provide dedicated risk calculators to prioritize vulnerabilities for your facility, and facilitate remediation process that takes into account your plant maintenance windows.
Whether you want to plan your patch schedules, implement compensating controls or request exception – the solution will facilitate your OT security routines.
