If you’re here, you obviously know what operational technology is and you are looking for someone that knows how to test. it. Rest assured, we have spent the greater part of our career characterizing and testing it and can explain effective test examples and scenarios that will identify vulnerabilities before the bad actors do.

Operational technology (or OT for short) includes industrial control systems, building management systems, fire control systems, and physical access control mechanisms. The hardware, software, and firmware components of a system used to detect or cause changes in physical processes through the direct control and monitoring of physical devices (NIST definition).

To effectively test this environment a company needs to understand the threat surface of this environment and devices, the specifics of how they exchange data, and the current vulnerabilities relevant to the specific industry.

Operational Technology testing isn’t simple and a regular penetration test may not be effective, give us a call and we will create a custom engagement around your specific environment. Our experts will walk you through our process and what threat vectors are common for your industry and create a dynamic plan for you including discovery, attack surface identification, and remediation plan recommendations specific to your hardware and industry.
