OT cybersecurity use cases
Recognizable situations industrial teams face, and a structured way to address each one. Examples on these pages are illustrative.
Use cases
- “We don't have a reliable picture of what's on our OT networks.”
OT asset visibility
Consolidate scattered asset records into an inventory you can use for security decisions.
- “Every assessment starts from scratch and evidence is hard to find.”
Assessment and compliance
Organize control mapping, evidence and findings into a repeatable assessment process.
- “We have a long list of findings and no clear order to fix them in.”
OT risk prioritization
Rank findings by operational consequence, criticality and existing safeguards.
- “Our network drawings don't match what's actually connected.”
Security architecture review
Find unclear boundaries, excess connectivity and hidden dependencies in your OT design.
- “Audits mean weeks of searching for documents and surprise findings.”
Audit readiness
Keep evidence, control results and remediation records traceable all year.
- “We're not sure how many ways vendors can reach our control systems.”
Vendor and remote access control
Find, approve and control every remote and third-party access path into OT.
- “Our critical systems run on software that can't be patched or upgraded yet.”
Protecting legacy systems
Reduce risk around unsupported systems with compensating controls and a migration plan.
- “Changes to logic and configurations happen without a security check or record.”
OT change control
Add a lightweight security review and full history to OT changes.
- “Auditors ask about patching, and we can't show what we decided or why.”
Patch and vulnerability compliance
Show a defensible decision for every relevant advisory, even when you can't patch.
- “If something happened on the plant network tonight, nobody's sure who decides what.”
OT incident readiness
Prepare decision rights, backups and procedures before an OT incident happens.
