OT cybersecurity across industrial environments
The principles of OT security are shared, but priorities differ by sector. Here is how they change across the environments OTVista focuses on. The examples describe representative environments rather than specific client work.
Industries
Energy and utilities
Generation, transmission, distribution and renewables, where substations, SCADA and protection systems demand high availability.
Oil, gas and process industries
Upstream, midstream, refining, chemicals and petrochemicals, where process control and safety-related systems must stay dependable.
Manufacturing and industrial automation
Discrete and batch production lines where PLCs, HMIs and engineering workstations are tied to throughput and quality.
Railways and transportation
Signalling, traction power and operational communications spread across long linear networks with strict safety cases.
Water and critical infrastructure
Water, wastewater and other essential services with distributed telemetry, lean teams and a public service mission.
What every industrial environment shares
- Safety and availability come before confidentiality.
- Equipment lifecycles are measured in decades.
- Changes are constrained by maintenance and outage windows.
- Vendors and integrators need controlled access.
