Our main OT cybersecurity assessments are the following:
We also offer additional OT assessments such as Red Team exercises, compliance assessments, incident response assessments and more!
Back in the day, IT and OT were kept separate, but nowadays with increasing interconnection and the desire for more data and streamlined processes, this gap has diminished. An understanding of what you have, how it’s all connected and the vulnerabilities that exist is crucial when it comes to protecting industrial businesses. Our OT cybersecurity assessments offer a holistic analysis of threats and vulnerabilities with recommendations on how to fix the security gaps.
Do you know your vulnerabilities? Stop assuming and start knowing. Businesses who wait until it’s too late will end up spending significantly more financially compared to businesses who are proactive.
– Step 1 –
In order to implement a security program around production OT environments, you must understand what you have. This includes systems, software, policies, processes, and personnel.
If you don’t currently have an accurate and up-to-date inventory list, this is where we’d recommend you start.
– Step 2 –
The next step falls into the “Identify” phase of a cybersecurity program and highlights areas of mitigation, improvement, and risk reduction for an organization.
– Step 3 –
A cybersecurity risk assessment is a vital process that helps organizations identify and understand the digital threats they face. By analyzing assets, vulnerabilities, and evaluating potential impacts, this assessment helps to prioritize risks and take decisive action to protect data and systems. The outcome is a detailed understanding of risk with the risk value quantified in dollars invested.
Whether you have brown field OT environments or are moving to green field, it is critical to understand security risks in architecture and network design and how to mitigate those risks. At Red Trident, our expertise in network architecture design can identify shortcomings in existing OT network architecture or even provide input from the start of the design process for a new OT environment.
Red Trident’s cybersecurity team has extensive experience in many OT environments including wastewater, power and utility, oil and gas, maritime, and manufacturing. Because of this, we can support cybersecurity assessments focused on regulatory, standards-based, or contractual requirements.
A key component of any OT cybersecurity program is incident response. If you have an incident response team, plan, or playbook in place but don’t know how your organization would respond to a severe incident, Red Trident can help. If you haven’t yet documented or built an incident response capability, we can help there as well.
Physical and logical attack campaigns that simulate real-world tactics, techniques, and procedures to break into an organization’s infrastructure and move throughout the environment. This testing challenges and evaluates existing physical and logical security measures and technologies in place and helps the organization understand how they people, processes, and technology will stand against attacks of various scales.
Ensuring an organization has the ability to continue operations or recover is critical to limiting the impact of an incident in ICS environments. The baseline of ‘what is in place’, should be fully understood and all of the components of operational continuity and recovery should be evaluated. This includes the plans, personnel, procedures, backups, spares, and redundancy. The following are areas of focus when evaluating documentation and the environment to which it applies:
Our team has spent years working in and around industrial control systems. We know the difference between an RTAC and a DCS, we can walkdown just about any process using documentation you have, the knowledge we bring, maybe a little help from your on-site team.
At Red Trident, we do more than provide cybersecurity assessments—we build partnerships. Your business goals and risk profile drive everything we do. From the moment we engage, our focus is on understanding your unique operating environment, listening to your concerns, and aligning our recommendations with your organizational priorities.
Our team is comprised of recognized leaders in industrial cybersecurity, with decades of experience across critical infrastructure, manufacturing, government, and defense sectors. You may have seen us on stage at global security conferences like DEF CON, Black Hat, or SANS ICS Summits. But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to clear, actionable communication—translating complex risk into practical insights your executive team can act upon.
When you choose Red Trident, you get a proactive partner committed to your long-term security posture, not just a report. Let’s move your security program forward—together.
