Here’s what to look for in an OT cybersecurity partner and vendor:
- Experience and Expertise: You must choose a vendor with a solid track record in industrial control systems (ICS) cybersecurity. It’s essential to have a team that possesses not just general IT security knowledge but specific operational technology (OT) expertise.
- Customization and Integration: Cybersecurity is not a one-size-fits-all solution. You must assess whether a vendor’s solutions can be customized for your industry’s unique challenges and integrated without disrupting existing systems.
- User-Friendly Interface and Support: A complex solution that’s difficult to navigate can hinder your security efforts. When considering a technology vendor, be sure to evaluate the user-friendliness of the vendor’s interface and the quality of their training and support services.
- Cost-Effectiveness and Compliance: Budget constraints are a reality for any business. A vendor’s solutions must be cost-effective and assist in meeting the necessary regulatory compliance standards.
