OT Cybersecurity: Protecting Industrial Automation Systems from Cyber Threats
Learn about OT (Operational Technology) cybersecurity, threats to SCADA/PLC systems, IEC 62443, network segmentation, and defense strategies.
As industrial systems become more connected through IIoT and Industry 4.0, cybersecurity threats to operational technology (OT) are increasing dramatically.
Common OT Threats
- -Ransomware targeting SCADA systems
- -PLC firmware manipulation
- -Man-in-the-middle attacks on industrial protocols
- -Insider threats
- -Supply chain compromises
