Operational Technology Security (OT Security) refers to the practices and technologies used to ensure the security of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and other critical infrastructures.

These systems are used in various industries such as power generation, manufacturing, transportation and healthcare and are critical to the safe and reliable operation of plant, machinery and equipment. Overall, Operational Technology Security helps to strengthen the resilience of organisations against cyber threats and ensure the security of critical infrastructures, which is of great benefit to both IT service providers and end customers.

OT-Security relevant laws and standards

NIS 2 and the CRA (Cyber Resiliance Act)

The NIS 2 and CRA legislation in the EU aims to strengthen cybersecurity and minimise the consequences of security breaches. NIS 2 extends the scope to a wider range of organisations and tightens the requirements for reporting security incidents. The CRA legislation requires regular risk assessments and cybersecurity measures of/on plant and machinery. Affected organisations face challenges in complying with the new regulations, which require investment in cyber security and bring potential reputational risks. It is important to familiarise yourself with the requirements at an early stage and take appropriate measures.

IEC 62443

IEC 62443 is an international series of standards that deals with the cyber security of industrial automation systems. It was developed to address the increasing threats to critical infrastructures such as energy supply, manufacturing and transport. The challenges are manifold and include the need to protect complex industrial networks, the diversity of technologies used, the consideration of legacy systems and ensuring the continuity of operational processes. IEC 62443 also requires close co-operation between different stakeholders, including manufacturers, operators and regulators, to develop a common understanding of security requirements and practices. The implementation of the standard requires a systematic approach to the security of industrial control systems in order to identify and eliminate vulnerabilities, recognise threats and take appropriate security measures.
