Digital innovations are aggressively being introduced into public utilities and smart city operational technology (OT) infrastructure. This creates expanded attack surfaces that introduce enormous risk across a wide array of threat vectors. Yet, since OT environments were traditionally air-gapped, there has been less emphasis on cyber security.
It is critical to discover and protect all device connections and profiles to defend against threats that can negatively affect business operations, data, and even citizen safety. Security best practices suggest the need to continually assess connected assets and enforce the right policies for controlled access, more granular network segmentation and immediate threat response.
Watch this Carahsoft sponsored webcast to learn from ForeScout and Palo Alto Networks how you can use non-disruptive security techniques that achieve these core security principals while prioritizing uptime of operational networks and the safety of those involved.
