Operational Technology (OT) Security Services

 

Protect Your SCADA Devices and Mission Critical ICS Networks

Operational Technology has Altered the Threat Landscape

 

Operational technology (OT) and connected devices have fundamentally altered the way we do business. They allow organizations across industries to improve data use, manage their technology more effectively, increase output and reduce costs and downtime.

 

Those benefits, however, come with a cost. New endpoints and data sources are also creating novel vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, traditional network security often can’t accurately map these risks, especially when security isn’t standardized across facilities. This is particularly troublesome in organizations where OT-run factories are the primary source of revenue. Here, an impact to OT is an impact to the bottom line.

 

Optiv will meet you wherever you are on your OT journey, whether that’s mastering the fundamentals or building advanced capabilities. Our OT cyber services are designed to enhance uptime, safety and resiliency by helping you identify your business-specific OT risks for an integrated approach that spans your entire organization.
