Operational Technology Security Assessment

Operational technology (OT) security assessments are similar to IoT security assessments in that they are evaluations of the security measures in place to protect a system from external threats. However, OT systems are typically used in industrial or critical infrastructure settings, such as power plants, water treatment facilities, and manufacturing plants. These systems may include control systems, sensors, and other specialized equipment that is used to monitor and control physical processes.

OT security assessments are designed to identify vulnerabilities in these systems and recommend measures to improve security. This can include updating software, installing additional security controls, and implementing security best practices. The goal of an OT security assessment is to ensure that the system is secure and able to operate reliably, without being disrupted by external threats.
