Definition
Operational technology (OT) systems across the U.S. Federal Government vary widely with tremendous diversity across vendor, age, protocols and more. Many are time-sensitive operations and mission critical to their Agency – be it NASA, NOAA, TSA, DoE Labs to USPS and beyond. All OT, BMS, IoT, and IoMT assets across these diverse missions must be considered as part of an overarching OT cyber security plan to ensure no weak links or cyber risk to the mission.
Problem Statement
The interruption of any OT function or asset has the potential to create risk or impede the mission operations if compromised. Disrupting them can often bring downstream impact to operations. Legacy operating systems (OS), insecure protocols, unique communication patterns and other issues create unique challenges from those of IT. Limited visibility to OT assets, increasing vulnerabilities – across manufacturers – inadequate security controls, and remote access all create new attack vectors. Beyond critical downtime and safety, an impact can also wield much broader, perhaps latent, damage. These systems can be used by adversaries as a steppingstone into the rest of the OT or even IT network, sitting dormant until ‘trigger’ time.
Solution
Claroty sees the full picture of OT to help protect Federal Civilian operations. Our solutions help you to identify OT systems, vulnerabilities in, and remediations for, the OT within these critical missions. We can help you automate asset inventories for operational systems, autonomously detect threats and vulnerabilities in these systems, provide full featured cyber risk management, recommend mitigations and automate micro-segmentation. These capabilities implemented on OT networks enforce zero-trust principles and improve the cyber resiliency and survivability of systems on these OT networks.
