The first distributed cyberattack on multiple U.S. water systems indicates a coordinated Iranian campaign targeting programmable logic controllers, potentially linked through shared infrastructure or a systems integrator.
CISA and partners recommend physical or tiered isolation plans for OT systems with regular full testing to protect against prolonged, stealthy intrusions.
SOC practices for OT and ICS environments require specialized architectural models and organizational adaptations to meet regulatory requirements such as the NIS2 Directive while ensuring the availability of critical systems.
PKI systems for production environments must be resource-efficient, network-independent, and deterministically fast while managing millions of devices and multiple trust domains.
OT systems require specialized security concepts that account for production availability and compliance requirements such as NIS2, rather than simply mapping IT standards.
Stormshield launches the SNi50, an OT firewall with network segmentation, protocol inspection, and VPN remote maintenance designed to ensure high availability and NIS2 compliance for critical infrastructure.
Operational Technology in factories presents attackers with significantly lower barriers than modern IT infrastructure, while cyber outages in production have existential consequences.
