Vulnerability Assessment: Critical Risk Solutions
OT Security Vulnerability Assessment Service provides a comprehensive solution to identify and address cybersecurity vulnerabilities in operational technology (OT) environments.
The vulnerability assessment process includes Identification and evaluation of
- Existing controls
- Gaps and vulnerabilities
- Additional mitigating controls
- Risk rating, prioritization and remedial recommendations.
Zealinx adopts an outcome-focused approach to highlight actionable insights and tangible risk reduction. Vulnerability Assessments follow globally recognized industry standards/frameworks such as ISO/IEC 62443, ISO/IEC 27001, NIST, and ISF while being customizable to suit specific requirements of each client.
This Vulnerability assessment provides a comprehensive analysis of your Operational Technology (OT) environment's cyber-security posture. It identifies the strengths and weaknesses of your OT security practices across people, processes, and technology. Using our expertise, threat intelligence, industry best practices, and automated tools, we gather the necessary data to create a risk-based snapshot of your current situation. Our Vulnerability assessment includes prioritized recommendations aimed at reducing the identified risk exposure, both in the short and long term.
Secure Your Operations Without Compromising on Efficiency
In the realm of information security, the priorities differ between traditional IT environments and OT (Operational Technology) environments. Traditional IT models follow a hierarchy of Confidentiality, Integrity, and then Availability, commonly known as the "CIA Triad." On the other hand, OT cyber security models prioritize Availability, followed by Integrity, and then Confidentiality, known as the "AIC Triad."
The reason for this distinction is that OT environments, such as manufacturing plants and oil assets, heavily rely on the availability and integrity of their assets and systems. These factors are crucial for ensuring effective process control and safeguarding. When availability or system integrity is compromised, it can pose serious risks to the workforce, consumers, physical assets, and the environment. The consequences can range from economic losses to ecological damage and even life-threatening situations. Real-life examples of availability attacks include the well-known Colonial Pipeline attack in 2021, the Springhill Memorial Hospital ransomware attack in 2019, and the Sandworm attacks on Ukrainian critical infrastructure in 2015.
To accurately assess risks and establish appropriate countermeasures, it is essential to understand these differences between IT and OT environments. Therefore, conducting an OT-specific risk assessment is crucial in ensuring comprehensive security measures.
