As the lines blur between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT), organizations must evolve their cybersecurity strategies to address the vulnerabilities introduced by increased connectivity. This white paper explores the transition from traditional implied trust to a robust zero-trust framework, essential for safeguarding critical OT environments.

Key Insights:

• Understanding Zero Trust: Learn how the zero-trust model shifts security from implied trust to continuous verification of users and devices.
• OT Vulnerabilities: Explore the risks associated with OT environments that were once isolated but are now interconnected with IT systems.
• Implementation Challenges: Identify common hurdles in adopting zero-trust solutions in OT, including compatibility with legacy systems and ensuring safety operations are not disrupted.
• Best Practices: Discover strategies for effectively transitioning to zero trust, focusing on people, processes, and technology.
• The Path Forward: Gain insights into how organizations can start their journey towards a zero-trust model to enhance security and resilience.
