What is operational technology (OT) security?

Industrial automation assets, including process management, SCADA and industrial control systems, drive processes across critical infrastructure in healthcare, manufacturing, and energy and utilities sectors. As these systems increasingly connect to broader corporate networks, the convergence of operational technology (OT) with traditional IT introduces a new world of cyber threats and vulnerabilities with serious implications for both business and public safety. OT security requires a holistic view of how these environments integrate and a digitization strategy that promotes standardization, operational resiliency and security of industrial assets.

OT Security

Cisco Cybervision Lab

Cisco Cybervision is monitoring a virtual chemical manufacturing process environment and a simulated substation on a flat network. The environment contains a virtual plant using the MODBUS communications protocol (1 HMI, 1 PLC, 6 I/Os), a virtual substation using the IEC 104 communications protocol (1 HMI, 4 RTUs) and an instance of Cisco Cybervision. This lab enables a user to familiarize and test Cisco Cybervision's ability to passively discover hosts, map networks, baseline traffic and issue alerts on a simulated OT environment.

Binary Armor SCADA Network Guard

Binary Armor is setup to defend a simulated electrical substation using a NovaTech Orion LXm. In such a substation, the RTU would receive commands over the network and apply changes to reclosers (a physical device) in the substation which control the flow of power. This lab will show how Binary Armor can protect a substation from several attacks including insider threat.
