Secure OT networks
With the increase in security threats, regulations, and cloud migration, the need to upgrade OT networks is greater than ever. We have experience of working in some of Finland’s largest production facilities as well as some of its smallest – so we should be able to ensure the security of your network too.
Is the core of your business secure?
Most people think the only way to make an OT network really secure is to ensure it has no connections with the outside world. However, we have not yet come across any such OT network.
People are usually unaware that shadow IT brought in by subcontractors, as well as cloud connectivity with new technology have already created links with the outside world. When we check for the number of devices connected to a network, we usually find about three times as many as expected.
Naturally, the most important thing is that the OT network ensures both uninterrupted production and employee safety. These two factors are most at stake when facing security threats and, in themselves, are enough to justify investing in network security.
These are the stages…
Formulating the objective
Describes the target state of play, mirrored through key network and information security standards and practices.
Describing the current situation
Clarifies the attack surface of the network, and the state it is in.
Developing the safety protocols
Kits the network out with different ways of managing risks and vulnerabilities.
Testing the network
Simulates attack situations, hunts for threats, and create tools to prevent them.
Verifying the network
Ensures the continuity of the OT environment through secure architecture and processes.
