What Security Risks Await in the Factory Automation Cyber Landscape?

In the Industry 4.0 era, ensuring the OT security of your manufacturing operations during digital transformation is crucial. With many industrial plants installed before cybersecurity became a priority, vulnerability to external threats has heightened. As manufacturing processes grow more interconnected, the risk of cyber breaches increases, especially with outdated systems lacking modern security features. Unlike IT systems, OT environments pose unique challenges where applying patches can disrupt operational assets or require waiting until the next maintenance cycle to minimize disruptions.

What ´s the current state of OT and IoT cybersecurity in manufacturing industry?

Attacks on production and automation IT, production systems, products in the market, and after-sales processes are common gateways for cyber attacks. They are as vulnerable as office networks and email accounts. So, it is crucial to take necessary precautions to prevent such attacks.

ENISA reports that the majority of cybersecurity investments in the manufacturing industry are directed towards three primary security domains.

vulnerability management and security analytics
governance, risk and compliance
network security

Simply having cybersecurity framework controls or tooling does not imply high cybersecurity maturity; their effectiveness and performance should be used to evaluate an organization’s cybersecurity maturity.

Focus on level of protection

In IT, the three main security objectives are Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA). In OT, Availability takes precedence over Integrity and Confidentiality (AIC). It’s crucial to balance IT and OT security to ensure a successful security strategy that meets specific requirements and priorities.

To ensure a successful security strategy that does not hinder the business needs, it’s essential to strike the right balance between IT and OT security. Both approaches should be implemented according to specific requirements and priorities.
