Do No Harm: OT-Native Approach for Network Monitoring and Cybersecurity

Operational Technology (OT) environments face increasingly sophisticated threats, making tailored cybersecurity strategies essential. Traditional IT security methods fall short in ICS/OT environments, An OT native approach is vital to protect critical infrastructure while maintaining operational integrity. 

In this session, Nick Shaw, Principal Advisory Solution Architect, dives into the seven principles of OT cyber-network visibility and monitoring and how the Dragos Platform supports organizations in implementing a cybersecurity program built for OT environments. 

We discuss the following key elements for effective Network Monitoring and Cybersecurity: 

• Implement a Do No Harm Approach: Enabling 100% uptime with a passive first approach, with active to fill the gaps 
• Maintain a Comprehensive Asset Inventory: Importance of cataloging OT/IT/IoT devices across all levels of the Purdue Model. 
• Gain Deep Insights: Implement methods for detailed monitoring of OT system traffic. 
• Enable Practical Vulnerability Management: How to prioritize vulnerabilities when patching isn’t an option. 
• Utilize OT-Focused Threat Detection: Go beyond anomalies with OT CTI to identify OT threats. 
• Drive Operational Value: Provide insights and root cause analysis to support operations. 
• Integrate with IT: Add OT monitoring into existing IT security operations.
