OT Audit: Assessing and Enhancing the Security of Your Operational Environment

In today’s digitally-driven landscape, the convergence of operational technology (OT) and IT systems has revolutionized industries, enabling unprecedented levels of automation, efficiency, and connectivity. However, this integration also introduces new cybersecurity challenges, as OT environments become prime targets for malicious actors seeking to disrupt operations, compromise safety, and cause financial harm. At Intrinsic Security, we recognize the critical importance of securing your OT infrastructure and ensuring its resilience against evolving threats. Our OT Audit service is designed to comprehensively evaluate the security posture of your operational environment, identify vulnerabilities, and recommend targeted measures to enhance its protection.

Understanding OT Audit

An OT Audit is a systematic examination of your operational technology infrastructure, including industrial control systems (ICS), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, and associated assets, to assess their security posture and adherence to best practices and regulatory requirements. Unlike traditional IT audits, which primarily focus on information systems and data security, an OT audit delves into the unique challenges and requirements of industrial environments, where factors such as system reliability, safety, and availability are paramount.

Key Components of Our OT Audit

  • Asset Discovery and Inventory: We begin by mapping out your OT assets, including devices, controllers, sensors, actuators, and communication networks. Establishing a comprehensive inventory is essential for understanding the scope of your operational environment and identifying potential security gaps.
  • Configuration Review: Our team conducts a detailed review of the configurations of your OT devices and systems to identify any deviations from industry best practices and security standards. This includes assessing settings related to access controls, authentication mechanisms, network segmentation, and encryption protocols.
  • Network Architecture Assessment: We analyze the design and architecture of your OT network infrastructure to identify potential vulnerabilities and single points of failure. This includes evaluating the segmentation of critical assets, network segmentation policies, and the adequacy of perimeter defenses such as firewalls and intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS).
  • Security Controls Evaluation: We assess the effectiveness of existing security controls deployed within your OT environment, such as antivirus software, intrusion detection systems, security information and event management (SIEM) solutions, and physical security measures. This includes evaluating their configuration, deployment, and coverage to ensure comprehensive protection against cyber threats.
  • Compliance and Regulatory Review: We review your organization’s adherence to relevant industry regulations, standards, and compliance requirements governing OT security, such as NERC CIP, ISA/IEC 62443, and NIST SP 800-82. This includes evaluating policies, procedures, and documentation to ensure alignment with regulatory mandates and best practices.
