As OT protocols often lack security features, it means valuable data is more likely to be subjected to a sniffing attack.
- Encrypt critical data such as configurations
- Deploy secure remote access
Secure Your Industrial Networks Every Step of the Way
First Published by Moxa.com
Driven by both top-down and bottom-up forces, industrial cybersecurity has become an urgent initiative in many different industries. On one hand, the growing number of cybersecurity incidents and cyberattacks on critical public infrastructure, such as power substations, oil and gas pipelines, and water treatment plants, has prompted governments around the world to implement new laws and regulations that demand stronger industrial network security.
On the other hand, private companies and smart factories are also realizing that they are no longer immune to cyberattacks and are also taking matters into their own hands to address potential cybersecurity risks on their networks. Indeed, industrial cybersecurity has become everyone’s responsibility and demands a new way of thinking.

Top 5 Security Concerns in OT Environments
Insecure OT Communications
Unrestricted Access
As more and more devices are connected, it is imperative to control access to your networks and devices.
- Deploy network access control
- Strengthen device security
Lack of Security Boundaries
Flat networks are commonplace in OT environments, which has allowed cyberattacks to spread across entire networks in recent years.
- Deploy micro-segmentation with an industrial IPS
- Achieve network segmentation by using firewalls or VLANs
Lack of Visibility
More than 30% of respondents to IDC EMEA’s European IT Security Survey in 2020 thought that a lack of asset visibility across network infrastructure was a security concern.
- Increase OT security visibility by using event logs
- Analyse the network status and device security status in order to increase OT network visibility
Legacy Systems
More than 40% of respondents to IDC EMEA’s European IT Security Survey in 2020 thought there were security concerns regarding maintaining the safety and reliability of legacy systems.
- Prioritise your critical assets
- Deploy virtual patching
