To effectively secure your industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT), it’s essential to first understand what you have in your environment. You can’t protect assets if you don’t know what they are. The first step in a robust cybersecurity strategy is developing a comprehensive understanding of your ICS and OT infrastructure through detailed asset inventories and precise network mapping.
Identifying potential risks involves more than just cataloging your physical assets. It’s about gaining visibility into every piece of data, every connected device, and every system that constitutes your organization. By recognizing all components that contribute to your company’s operations, you are better equipped to safeguard them.
ICS/OT inventories play a vital role in this process, offering critical insight into the network of hardware and software your company depends on for productivity. When combined with network diagrams and data flow maps, these inventories provide a clear and comprehensive view of your organization’s operational framework. This deep understanding is the cornerstone of effective cyber risk management and should inform every step of your security strategy.
