Vulnerability Management in OT: Beyond CVSS Score to Operational Resilience
Vulnerability Management in OT: Beyond CVSS Scores to Operational Resilience In Operational Technology (OT) environments, where systems such as SCADA, PLCs, DCS, and safety instrumentation control critical infrastructure, vulnerability is not just deploying the network scanning tool to know the CVE, CWE and CVSS score but to fix the vulnerabilities in an organized manner. Effective […]
Asset Discovery and Asset Management in OT: Why Visibility Alone Isn’t Enough
Asset Discovery and Asset Management in OT: Why Visibility Alone Isn’t Enough In Operational Technology (OT) environments, where systems such as SCADA, PLCs, DCS, and safety instrumentation control critical infrastructure, cybersecurity isn’t just about tools; it’s about strategic governance. A common misconception is mixing asset discovery with asset management. While both are essential, they serve […]
