Before getting into specifics, it's important to set the context and acknowledge that these recommendations are predicated on the fact that security teams are very familiar with IT networks but not OT networks.
OT networks have no modern security controls, which provides an opportunity to build a security program from scratch.
Measures such as lengthy physical segmentation projects within the OT networks and deploying multiple security tools don't scale and don't reduce risk immediately.
OT network traffic provides all the security information you need to monitor for threats.
While you execute your physical segmentation project within the OT networks, deploy virtual segmentation to zones within the ICS network.
