Why OT Compliance Needs a Smarter Approach As industrial networks grow more connected, compliance is no longer a periodic exercise, it’s a continuous responsibility. According to the SANS 2025 ICS/OT

As industrial environments become increasingly connected, their exposure to Cybersecurity threats grows exponentially.  According to the Identity Theft Resource Center’s 2024 Data Breach Report, the U.S. recorded over 3,205 publicly
Why This Choice Matters in 2025 As industrial operations evolve into smart, connected ecosystems powered by automation, data-driven decision-making, and expanded digital perimeters, the decisions security teams make around their
When industrial cybersecurity programs fail, it’s rarely due to a lack of tools or frameworks. It’s because governance, the glue that holds strategy, execution, and accountability together is either missing,
Beyond the Checklist: Turning OT Compliance into True Cyber Resilience According to the SANS 2024 ICS/OT Cybersecurity Report, nearly 28% of industrial organizations still lack an incident response plan tailored
Industrial operations factories, energy grids, and production sites are increasingly exposed as cyber threats evolve. According to Deloitte’s 2024 Cyber Threat Trends, ransomware attacks continue to disrupt industries worldwide with
The Quiet Threat of N-Day Vulnerabilities In the world of Operational Technology (OT), it’s not always the zero-days that pose the biggest threat. Sometimes, they’re the ones we’ve already documented,
For decades, signature-based tools have been the frontline of industrial cybersecurity. Antivirus platforms, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems rely on a simple principle: if you’ve seen a threat before, you
