IDC OT security analysts explored how industrial organizations can speed digitization without increasing cyber-risks. See recommendations for building future-proof operations in this paper sponsored by Cisco.
As industries embrace more software and IT technologies to run operations, learn how IT/OT collaboration and use of best-in-class IT security products with OT context can help to improve cyber-resilience.
IDC InfoBrief highlights
Embed OT security for scale, simplicity, and efficiency
Because OT assets are numerous and communicate mostly within their cells, securing operations requires embedding OT security into industrial networks to be efficient and reduce costs.
Extend IT security to OT, don't duplicate efforts
IT and OT teams must work together to secure operational industrial environments, breaking down silos and using IT security technologies with the right context to industrial processes.
Build an industrial SOC that looks over OT, IT, and cloud
As industries need to use more IT and cloud resources, the SOC needs to combine telemetry from the IT and OT domains to better protect industrial environments.
