Securing Operational Technology and IoT

New Security Standards for Old Systems

The increasing convergence of IT and OT networks in industrial environments has raised concerns about the security of OT systems. The traditional approach of keeping IT and OT separate through air gapping is no longer feasible due to the benefits of integration. However, this integration also expands the attack surface and requires new security approaches. Existing OT defenses are less evolved than their IT counterparts, making it crucial for OT decision-makers to modernize their security controls. The lack of effective OT security has contributed to the rise in cyber threats targeting OT systems, resulting in damages to productivity, revenue, brand reputation, business-critical data, and physical safety.

Legacy OT systems, which can operate for decades, often rely on outdated configurations that remain unpatched. Updating these devices can be challenging as it may require shutting down entire systems, leading to vulnerabilities that IT networks are naturally protected against.

To ensure comprehensive network protection, security must be seamlessly integrated into OT environments without disrupting their sensitive nature.

IoT and The Data Infrastructure

IoT is by nature a data intensive realm. The new sources of on-going real time data flows are going to stress and ultimately change data infrastructures.  We can help you handle this evolution from current standards and protocols to the next generation of data transport technologies. Enterprise US is tracking this powerful technology and are ready to help you employ the currently available early stage elements of this oncoming technology era.

IoT and The Protocols That Will Run It

SIP is a protocol that will be used in this Internet of Things (IoT). As a real-time communication protocol, SIP is well suited for many IoT related data transfer needs. The new sources of on-going real time data flows are going to stress and ultimately change data infrastructures. Because of this, SIP is a protocol that tech companies will use in many applications and settings where they are developing IoT related applications. We can help you handle this evolution from current standards and protocols to the next generation of data transport technologies. We are tracking this powerful technology and are ready to help you employ the currently available early stage elements of this oncoming technology era.
