Zero Trust in OT Environments: What Works, What Doesn’t, and What to Avoid

Zero Trust has reshaped how enterprises think about cybersecurity. As traditional network perimeters dissolve, Zero Trust replaces implicit trust with continuous verification. In IT environments, this shift has delivered measurable reductions in breach impact and lateral movement. But Operational Technology (OT) environments operate under entirely different assumptions. Industrial networks were built for reliability, determinism, and…

Industrial Control Systems Under Siege The Role of OT Cybersecurity

Industrial Control Systems Under Siege: The Role of OT Cybersecurity

Introduction In today’s hyper-connected industrial world, Operational Technology (OT) no longer operates in the safety of isolation. For decades, Industrial Control Systems (ICS) including SCADA, PLCs, DCS, and field devices were designed with reliability and uptime in mind, not cybersecurity. They were air-gapped, separated from corporate IT networks, and protected by physical access controls. That…
