OT (Operational Technology) are systems and technologies used to monitor and control industrial processes and critical infrastructure. OT encompasses both hardware and software that directly control physical equipment, such as production machinery, power systems or water and sewage networks. The importance of OT stems from its role in maintaining the operational continuity and physical security of industrial processes. A failure or cyber-attack on OT systems can lead to serious consequences, such as production interruptions, equipment damage and even threats to human life. Protecting these systems is therefore crucial to ensuring the stability and reliability of critical infrastructures.

IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) cyber security differ primarily in their scope of protection and priorities. IT cyber security focuses on protecting data, applications and computer networks from threats such as malware, phishing and data theft. The goal is to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. OT cyber security, on the other hand, focuses on protecting control systems that manage physical processes, such as energy production or distribution. For OT, the priority is to ensure operational continuity and physical security, as failure of OT systems can have a direct impact on the operation of industrial infrastructure and public safety. In addition, OT systems are often more diverse and technologically older than IT systems, which presents different integration and security challenges.

OT systems are vulnerable to a variety of threats that can affect their operation and security. Among the most common threats are ransomware attacks, which can encrypt data and block access to key control systems, demanding a ransom to unlock them. Other threats include malware, which can infect systems and manipulate operational data, and unauthorized access, where intruders gain control of OT systems, which can lead to disrupted operations or even physical damage. In addition, increasingly sophisticated attacks, such as APTs (Advanced Persistent Threat), can target specific sectors, carrying out long-term, targeted actions to sabotage processes or steal valuable data. All of these threats can lead to major operational disruptions, financial losses and, in extreme cases, threats to human safety.

Our company offers comprehensive OT cyber security services that cover the full spectrum of activities to secure critical infrastructure. We conduct detailed security audits that identify vulnerabilities and potential threats in OT systems. Based on the results of the audits, we offer risk assessments that help companies understand which threats are most likely to impact their operations. We deploy advanced threat monitoring and detection systems that operate in real time to quickly detect and neutralize cyber attacks. Our services also include incident management, which means our team is ready to respond quickly to any security breach, minimizing its impact. In addition, we offer staff training to raise awareness of threats and improve employees’ incident response skills. Our holistic approach ensures that each solution is optimally tailored to the client’s specific needs and budget.

An OT security audit is a comprehensive process that begins with an analysis of your company’s existing systems and operational processes. The first step is to identify all components of your OT infrastructure, including control systems, network devices and applications. We then conduct a detailed risk assessment, which includes identifying potential security vulnerabilities, such as outdated software, missing security updates or improper system configurations. The next step is security testing, including conducting simulated attacks (penetration testing) to assess how well OT systems can defend against real-world threats. Based on the data collected, we develop a report that details the security status of your OT infrastructure, identifies areas for improvement, and proposes specific corrective actions. This report is a key tool for planning further actions and making investment decisions on cyber security.

Yes, our company offers a wide range of OT cybersecurity training courses that are tailored to different levels of experience and positions within the organization. These trainings cover both theoretical and practical aspects of protecting operational systems. Our training programs cover topics such as threat identification, security best practices, incident management and emergency procedures. We also organize hands-on workshops that allow participants to gain real-world experience in operating security systems and responding to a variety of threat scenarios. Training is a key component of building a security culture within an organization, ensuring that every employee, from engineers to executives, is properly prepared to protect OT infrastructure. In addition, our training is regularly updated to include the latest cyber security threats and technologies.

Our company serves a wide range of industrial sectors, with an emphasis on those with critical infrastructure requiring specialized protection. We specialize in industries such as power generation, heavy industry, chemical industry, water supply and heating sectors. In each of these sectors, we tailor our solutions to the specific needs and challenges of managing OT infrastructure. In the energy industry, for example, we help secure electric grid management systems, ensuring their uninterrupted operation even in the face of cyber attacks. In the chemical industry, we focus on protecting the control systems that manage chemical production processes, which is critical to human and environmental safety. Our experience in various sectors allows us to offer solutions that are not only effective, but also scalable and flexible to meet the changing needs of our customers.
