Cyber-security risk management

The cyber-threat to industrial automation and control systems is very real, as demonstrated by high profile attacks in recent years such as Stuxnet, Industroyer and Triton.  Effective cyber-security for operational technology (OT) systems is delivered by a blend of:

  • Cyber-security defensive measures covering the system lifecycle, from design to operations and the subsequent decommissioning of the systems and individual components.
  • Cyber-risk assessments of the systems to establish any additional security measures required to protect them from cyber-threats.
  • The integration of cyber-security alongside physical and procedural security measures within the context of overall security.
  • Cyber-security vulnerability assessment and penetration testing of the installed systems.
