Effective Vulnerability Management in OT Environments Starts with Asset Discovery
Summary: Dragos reports that more than 91% of organizations include on-premises IT infrastructure assets in their existing or planned vulnerability management program, while only 23% do the same for OT assets. The blog attributes the gap partly to the difficulty of finding and remediating vulnerabilities in OT environments, and argues that effective OT vulnerability management starts with asset discovery, classification, connection mapping, and continuous inventory updates.
What you should know: With fewer than one in four organizations extending vulnerability management to OT, most industrial operators cannot fix flaws in assets they do not know they are exposed to - a gap adversaries targeting industrial facilities are actively working to exploit.
