Benefits of Undergoing an OT Architecture Review

Our OT Architecture Review service is a strategic assessment dedicated to fortifying the security structure of an organization’s Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT) networks. This detailed review includes an exhaustive gap analysis and a comprehensive review of the OT architecture, benchmarked against widely recognized standards such as the Converged Plantwide Ethernet (CPwE) architecture and the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF).

By identifying and rectifying security deficiencies, optimizing compliance with industry standards, and conforming to best practices, organizations can:

Substantially enhance the robustness of OT networks
Ensure the integrity and steady operation of crucial industrial processes
Foster a resilient cybersecurity posture
