Security News > 2021 > August > Trends in the OT/ICS security space and what’s to come

In my previous role, I was an ICS security strategist and managed numerous business functions from Intel ranging from global semiconductor factories for OT, sub-factories for ICS, global BMS, and smart buildings/facilities.

Most importantly, I plan to align our business output with our customer demands to defend, protect, and enhance their security posture across ICS. Finally, I am excited to evaluated all strategic partnerships to map out a new business strategy for the next few years that will bring together security requirements, external threats, and market trends to ensure that we are staying ahead of our customer needs and are continually providing them the best service possible.

How would you describe the difference between how vendors approach the security of IT vs OT and ICS products/solutions?

ICS OEMs are the crown jewels that need the most protection as they make or integrate the most basic components that are assembled to form an entire ICS system with the help of varying foundational technologies such as asset visibility, access control, and IT tools, to solve a particular problem.

Combining the traditional IT architectural review and OT control review groups with purview over risk management in both IT and OT is where ICS products and solutions provide the best services into their product offerings such as automated asset inventory, threat detection and response, and vulnerability and risk management.

What current trends in the OT/ICS security space give hope for improvement of the security posture of organizations that use it?
