OT CYBERSECURITY ASSESSMENTS

When it comes to improving OT (operational technology) cybersecurity, there are various types of cybersecurity assessments that can provide insightful information. It’s extremely important for businesses to have a better understanding of their infrastructure and security risks so they can use this insight to address these issues before a malicious actor gains unauthorized access.

Unfortunately, we see a lot of companies marketing a service as a vulnerability assessment or penetration test, but then essentially providing the client with an automated vulnerability scan service, which is a completely different thing. Therefore it’s important to understand the differences so you don’t get fooled with this bait-and-switch tactic.
