Data Security—
Avoid OT Data Vulnerability

To analyze OT data in real time, we connect more and more OT devices to the Internet. However, all these new connections may cause vulnerabilities in the network, allowing unauthorized access to the network.

When OT Data Is Out, It’s Easy to Bring Viruses Home

  • In the past, OT systems did not need to be connected to the Internet, so physical protection alone was good enough. However, to get OT data in real time, we connect more and more OT devices to the Internet, exposing enterprises to hackers and computer viruses. Therefore, the concept of "defense in depth" has become very important.

When OT Data Is Too Transparent, It’s Easy to
Get Hurt

  • Most of the communication protocols commonly used in OT are not originally designed with encryptions or authentications. What’s more, IT management tools cannot recognize OT communication protocols, so unauthorized commands may enter the network. This way, anyone who accesses the OT network can issue commands to control the operation of all devices on the network, involving unpredictable risks. Therefore, you can consider strengthening your industrial cybersecurity.
