The Hunt: Threat Hunting in OT Environments
Summary: Dragos launched "The Hunt," a blog series on threat hunting in operational technology environments, drawing on SANS Institute's definition of threat hunting as a proactive, data-driven, iterative search that goes beyond standard detection. The series covers hunting within OT networks controlling physical processes in electric, oil and gas, manufacturing, and federal government sectors, using frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK for ICS to identify adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures.
Key Takeaway: Dragos draws the distinction plainly: IT threats typically risk data loss or financial impact, while OT threats can directly affect the physical world, which is why adversaries who blend into daily operations can go undetected without tailored visibility into industrial systems.
