Identifying vulnerabilities using OT penetration testing
Operational Technology (OT) penetration testing is an essential security measure for identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities in systems that control industrial operations, including those integral to Industry 4.0. This form of testing is crucial for protecting critical infrastructure and industrial control systems (ICS) from cyber threats that could disrupt operational processes, compromise safety, or cause environmental damage.
OT penetration testing is a critical component of a holistic cybersecurity strategy, particularly in the era of Industry 4.0, where increased connectivity introduces new vulnerabilities. By proactively identifying and addressing these vulnerabilities, organisations can ensure the resilience and security of their operational technologies against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
