Securing Critical Infrastructure from Cyberattack

Implementing Zero Trust Security at the IT/OT Boundary and Beyond

There is a long history of attacks against organizations that deliver critical infrastructural services, and these are becoming more frequent, sophisticated, and targeted. Barely a week passes without news of a new attempt by cyber attackers to compromise critical infrastructure. From major ransomware attacks to attempts to penetrate industrial networks and directly target operational technology (OT), critical infrastructure is in the cross hairs.

This paper is designed to help security professionals evaluate the approaches and methodologies they are using to protect OT assets from cyber attack and help ensure they take a zero-trust approach to protecting the infrastructural services on which society depends.
