For the last 30 years, and particularly during the last decade, OT environments increasingly face a new challenge of maintaining secured environments. Historically, security grew up in an age of “cat and mouse” where the hacker “villain” and security “hero” are in a constant game of one upsmanship. Invariably, there are organizations and individuals that get caught in the security pinch and become the next victims.

This white paper examines current standard security practices and how we’re beginning to change our response and embrace a new method to protect our OT environments—a move predicated on early detection and prevention before damage occurs.
