What Can Be Done Immediately to Improve Your OT Security Posture
Summary: Following a White House statement by President Biden urging critical infrastructure operators to immediately strengthen defenses against Russian intent to use cyber attacks, Dragos addressed what OT environments can practically do in weeks versus six months. The post stresses that OT incident response differs from corporate response: security teams often lack visibility into the OT environment and must work in tandem with local engineering teams, brief facility staff on threats including activity groups and ransomware groups such as Conti, and have executives understand the limits of what security teams can detect.
Why it matters: Security teams without OT visibility are effectively blind to the industrial environment, and the post warns that responding without pairing with local engineering can make an incident worse or miss facts relevant to the physical process.
