Helping to Secure your Critical Operational Technology Assets

Our Project Management team are highly experienced in understanding what it takes to manage a successful OT Security Programme, such as creating initial high-level Management plans including realistic budget and resourcing metrics ensuring C Level buy-in to producing detailed Execution Plans. These frameworks allow for the planning, execution and detailed monitoring of the OT Programme delivery ensuring full programme visibility from the Project implementation Team up to the C-Level. We can offer a full turnkey solution or integrate with your existing resources to ensure that your OT Security programme can be executed in a predictable, timely, cost effective manner.

Although every asset owner aspires to have a full, concise and up to date asset inventory, OTegral understands that often, the reality of a facilities documentation often falls far short of this. Our engineering team appreciates the challenge of gathering and maintaining this data and can assist to assemble a precise asset list using a combination of automated asset discovery tools as well as more traditional manual techniques such as Firewall and Switch log analysis, Network Packet capture and tried and if required on-site surveys.
OTegral can then translate these datasets using our in-house data translation tools to automatically produce useful output documentation such as Asset Databases, Data Flow and Interdependency Diagrams and Reference Architectures.

We utilise our own Risk Assessment tool to ensure that the OT Security Risk Assessments (SRA) we carry out are in accordance with the most relevant standard(s) to your industry and location such as IEC 62433-3-X, US NIST 800 series and OG-0086 and are based on site level risks rather than organisational. This ensures that the subsequent risk control measures are based on a mixture of technical, procedural and managerial protection measures. OTegral can offer a full service of Risk Assessment activities from initial High-Level Risk Assessments, Detailed Risk Assessments and ongoing Periodic Cybersecurity Audits.

One of the most specialised aspects of an OT security programme is understanding the differences in implementing Risk Control Measures in an Operational Technology environment as opposed to a traditional IT environment. Our teams appreciate the unique challenges of OT and what is required to implement the various security controls available (such as Workforce Management and Training, Introduction of specific OT Policies and Procedures, Network Segmentation, System Hardening and Vulnerability Management) to ensure that Risk Reduction is achieved in accordance with agreed OT Execution Plan timescales and costs.
