The Need for Continuous Monitoring of OT Networks

February 13, 2019

In recent years there have been numerous events of different threat severity, involving critical and industrial infrastructure. Famous incident names like “Wannacry” ,“Havex” and “Triton” are just a few and represent merely the tip of the iceberg. Some attacks on OT infrastructure are “industry-specific” and even “organizational-specific” targeting specific industrial sectors, or specific vendor equipment models.
