OT Cybersecurity
In Industrial plants with advanced machinery, OT cybersecurity is crucial to protecting the systems that control critical infrastructure and production processes. At Direct Technologies, we specialize in safeguarding operational technology environments, ensuring that your industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA systems, and other critical OT assets are secure from cyber threats.
While traditional IT security focuses on protecting data, OT cybersecurity focuses on protecting physical systems—those responsible for running essential operations in industries such as manufacturing, utilities, and energy. These systems are increasingly connected to IT networks, which opens them up to potential vulnerabilities. Our team helps bridge the gap between IT and OT security, delivering comprehensive solutions that ensure both operational continuity and security.
Using National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards and the latest security tools, Direct Technologies provides robust OT cybersecurity strategies to:
-
Identify vulnerabilities in your OT infrastructure and systems.
-
Protect critical operational systems from both internal and external cyber threats.
-
Monitor and detect suspicious activity in real-time to prevent disruptions.
-
Respond to incidents quickly and minimize downtime.
-
Recover from cyber-attacks and restore normal operations as swiftly as possible.
Why OT Cybersecurity Matters
Cyberattacks on OT systems can have devastating effects, including halting production, compromising safety, and causing costly downtime. OT environments often contain older, unpatched systems that are more vulnerable to threats, making them a prime target for attackers.
