Operational Technology Security (OT Security)

Increase the availability of devices and systems with OT Security

The high availability of industrial installations and medical devices is essential to maintain operations.

IT and OT/IoT connectivity, outdated production systems and increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks present a growing threat to the continued operation of Operational Technology systems (OT). Securing these systems is key to preventing production stoppages and ensuring operational safety. But where is your company on its OT security journey? Do you have transparency over OT components and associated risks?

OT Security, protection for industry and medicine

Our OT Security services will accompany you on your journey. We’ll help you gain visibility into your Operational Technology and protect them from current and future risks and threats, increasing the resilience and availability of your systems whether in a medical, production or building automation environment. Transparency over the systems used and prevailing risks also ensures compliance, especially in the healthcare sector.

When are OT Security services the right solution?

You need to ensure stable system operations and want to improve the resilience of your systems to cyberattack, human error and vulnerabilities. You are also facing increasing requirements for IT system integration in a smart factory or smart building context etc., but lack the necessary visibility and are therefore seeking a OT security solution.

To successfully perform your tasks, you are looking for solutions that meet the following requirements:

  • Provide visibility into the components used and how they communicate, by remote access for example
  • Offer a factual basis to satisfy compliance and risk management requirements
  • Increase integration of OT and IT while minimising risk
  • OT security services to compensate for a lack of in-house specialists

Your benefits:

  • Transparency of all OT components, accesses and communication
  • Continuous monitoring to improve risk management and reduce the area of attack
  • Risk score, reporting and audit reporting to help meet compliance requirements
