IT and OT teams face numerous challenges when protecting OT environments from cyberattacks, including:

• Maintaining compliance with continuously changing industry regulations
• Managing complex, interconnected technology environments
• Ensuring uptime and systems availability.

Teams now need to increase OT security without compromising manufacturing productivity.

To address these challenges and mitigate risks, technical, organizational, and procedural measures must be put in place to maximize security without affecting manufacturing operations. Stakeholders across organizations must increase security awareness and implement best practices with proper reporting to evolve their cybersecurity stance.

In this guide, NECI shares its expertise in proven cybersecurity frameworks, industrial automation, and digital transformation to map out OT vulnerabilities and help companies develop measures to secure the OT environment without negative impacts.
