The first step is to understand the importance of cyber security guidelines, best practices and applicable regulatory requirements. Then review the options to choose a framework that suits your organisation’s unique challenges.
Operational Technology (OT) cyber security is a complex and critical task, whether you are a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), OT Security Manager, or a security engineer responsible for defending critical OT assets, data, and infrastructure against advanced threats. Security frameworks can provide essential guidance.
Security frameworks act as a “compass,” guiding you through your OT cyber security and compliance journey. They offer structured and comprehensive approaches to managing and improving your security posture.
By leveraging these frameworks, organizations can enhance their OT cyber security measures, achieve compliance more efficiently, and better protect their critical assets and infrastructure from advanced threats.
Deploying an Operational Technology Cyber Security Framework (OT-CSF) eliminates the guesswork in securing OT assets. These frameworks provide cyber security managers with a reliable, standardized, and systematic approach to mitigating cyber risk, regardless of the OT environment’s complexity.
The service offering is tailored to your organization’s specific needs. Typical OT-CSF implementation produces the following:
A cyber security framework is a collection of best practices that an organisation should follow to manage its cyber security risk. The goal of the framework is to reduce the company’s exposure to cyber attacks, and to identify the areas most at risk and other compromising activity perpetrated by cyber criminals.
A Cyber Security Framework integrates industry standards, best practices and regulatory compliance requirements to help organisations manage their cyber security risks. It provides a common language that allows staff at all levels within an organisation, and at all points in a supply chain, to develop a shared understanding of their cyber security risks.
The typical process is as follows:
Step 1: Set your target goals.
Step 2: Create a detailed risk profile.
Step 3: Assess your current position.
Step 4: Gap analysis and action plan.
Step 5: Implement your action plan.
The five core functions of a cyber security framework are:
NIST defines the framework core on its official website as a set of cyber security activities, desired outcomes, and applicable informative references common across critical infrastructure sectors.
Operational Technology (OT) cyber security refers to the set of procedures and best practices designed to mitigate and prevent the exploitation of cyber-physical systems and industrial control systems (ICS). Industrial control systems are digital networks employed across a wide variety of sectors and services to automate production processes.
