OT penetration testing

OT Penetration Testing: Assessing and Strengthening the Security of Your Operational Environment

In today’s interconnected world, the convergence of operational technology (OT) and IT systems has revolutionized industries, enabling greater efficiency, automation, and connectivity. However, this integration also introduces new cybersecurity risks, as OT environments become prime targets for malicious actors seeking to disrupt operations, compromise safety, and cause financial harm. At Intrinsic Security, we understand the critical importance of securing your OT infrastructure and ensuring its resilience against evolving threats. Our OT Penetration Testing service is designed to assess the security posture of your operational environment through simulated cyber attacks, identify vulnerabilities, and recommend targeted measures to enhance its protection.

Understanding OT Penetration Testing

OT Penetration Testing, also known as OT Ethical Hacking, is a proactive security assessment conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of security controls within your operational technology infrastructure. Unlike traditional vulnerability assessments, which focus on identifying potential weaknesses, penetration testing simulates real-world cyber attacks to uncover exploitable vulnerabilities and assess the effectiveness of your organization’s detection and response capabilities. By emulating the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by threat actors, we provide actionable insights to help you enhance the security of your OT environment and mitigate potential risks.

Key Components of Our OT Penetration Testing

  • Scope Definition: We work closely with your organization to define the scope and objectives of the penetration test, taking into account your unique operational environment, critical assets, and regulatory requirements. This includes identifying target systems, applications, and network segments to be included in the assessment.
  • Reconnaissance and Footprinting: We gather information about your OT infrastructure, including network architecture, system configurations, and publicly available information, to identify potential entry points and attack vectors. This phase involves passive reconnaissance techniques to minimize the impact on production systems.
  • Vulnerability Identification: We conduct active scanning and enumeration to identify potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses within your OT environment. This includes exploiting misconfigurations, weak authentication mechanisms, and software vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to target systems.
  • Exploitation and Post-Exploitation: Using the information gathered during reconnaissance and vulnerability assessment, we attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities to gain deeper access to your OT infrastructure. This may involve escalating privileges, pivoting between systems, and compromising critical assets to simulate the actions of a real-world attacker.
  • Reporting and Remediation: Upon completion of the penetration test, we provide a comprehensive report detailing our findings, including identified vulnerabilities, exploited systems, and recommendations for remediation. Our team works closely with your organization to prioritize and address identified security issues, ensuring that appropriate measures are implemented to mitigate risks effectively.

Benefits of OT Penetration Testing with Intrinsic Security

  • Risk Identification and Prioritization: Our OT penetration testing helps you identify and prioritize security risks within your operational environment, allowing you to allocate resources effectively and focus on addressing the most critical vulnerabilities.
  • Realistic Assessment of Security Controls: By simulating real-world cyber attacks, we provide a realistic assessment of your organization’s security controls and incident response capabilities, helping you identify gaps and weaknesses that may go unnoticed in traditional assessments.
  • Compliance Assurance: Our penetration testing services help you demonstrate compliance with industry regulations and standards governing OT security, such as NERC CIP, ISA/IEC 62443, and NIST SP 800-82, by identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities and weaknesses.
  • Enhanced Resilience: By implementing the recommendations provided in our penetration test report, you can strengthen the resilience of your OT infrastructure against cyber threats, improving its ability to withstand and recover from attacks.
