Operational technology (OT) system downtime, reliability, equipment damage, and supply chain interruptions are top concerns for plant operators. Alongside managing personnel and processes, plant operators must oversee often decades-old but expensive OT equipment and software, including actuators, mixers, PLCs, ICS, SCADA, DCSs, and HMIs. These OT components are critical. Even minor misconfigurations, glitches, or bugs can cause plant disruptions or worse.
Atomicorp can help. Our detection, response, and compliance solution, Atomic OSSEC, provides a noninvasive solution toolset that enables plant operators to manage their OT systems without integration delays or changes to the ICS, IACS, or SCADA system.
An Operational Technology (OT) Management Dilemma
Because many factory and OT systems are decades old, they can’t integrate with modern monitoring technology. The dilemma . . . integrating advanced digital monitoring spells long system integration delays, possible downtime, or seems impossible. Conversely, having no monitoring, as discussed earlier, heightens that risk of downtime, failure, and plant disruption from compromised devices, misconfigurations, unauthorized changes, and other errors.
Discover how Atomicorp can monitor your OT environment’s performance without integration delays. Learn more about the agentless deployment option in our detection, response and compliance solution, Atomic OSSEC.
Change Detection and Configuration Control for OT Management
Whether for OT maintenance management, system change monitoring, tamper prevention, or NIST 800-82, NERC CIP, 10 CFR 73.54, or IEC 62443 compliance, Atomic OSSEC provides a versatile and comprehensive OT security and compliance solution that protects your OT environment from flaws and errors that disrupt plant operations.
OT Change Management
OT change management involves detecting drift and preventing unauthorized changes and misconfigurations to control systems. Access and change management for ICS can be managed and monitored through integrity monitoring, access management, authentication controls, privilege management and configuration management.
Tamper Prevention
OT tamper prevention involves monitoring and prohibiting unauthorized changes to device settings. Beyond physical security, this anti-tampering should involve an early warning intrusion prevention system bolstered by file integrity monitoring (FIM), system behavioral monitoring, and configuration management controls.
OT Maintenance Management
OT maintenance management is more than just hardware care. Software maintenance is crucial to ensure equipment reliability, minimize downtime, and extend asset lifespan. Be able to detect and get alerts about malware from the software supply chain, software bugs, misconfigurations, or odd system behavior, any of which can interrupt service continuity and prove costly.
