How it works
OT Security applies defense-in-depth tailored to industrial environments: segmentation and zones (e.g. the Purdue model), access control, traffic and event monitoring, device hardening (secure boot, whitelisting), secure updates and vulnerability management per IEC 62443, while preserving process continuity and safety.
Problem solved
Industrial systems increasingly connect to networks and IT, becoming targets of cyberattacks whose consequences can be physical (production stoppage, damage, danger to people); a traditional IT approach is not enough.
