In Zenner’s customer magazine, Mirko Ross explains in an interview with energieblog the differences between IT and OT cybersecurity and why
predictive cyber risk analysis is becoming increasingly important for operators of critical infrastructures.
While in traditional IT security, shutting down compromised systems is often the first response,
this is not possible in operational technology (OT) environments such as waterworks or power plants. Continuous monitoring and targeted cyber risk management are essential here.
To address this, asvin has developed the Risk-by-Context software platform, which protects OT environments through a network of digital “reporting points.”
At the core of the platform
lies a data analytics model that contextualizes threat data using AI, graph analysis, and topology theory.
Relevant data — even from incomplete or heterogeneous sources — is consolidated into a Risk-by-Context index.
This index generates a risk score, prioritizes recommended actions, and visualizes potential vulnerabilities across dashboards —
from individual assets to the entire infrastructure. This enables organizations not only to detect attack risks but also to predict and proactively mitigate them.
