Monitoring and alerting to help mitigate potential threats for the convergence of IT/OT

The increasing interdependencies between IT systems and physical infrastructure intensifies the potential complexity and severity of cyber threats facing critical energy infrastructure providers such as electricity distribution businesses.

The increasing connectivity of IT and Operational Technology (OT) networks for monitoring, maintenance and remote control purposes has significantly heightened these systems’ risk of cyber attacks. Organisations need to proactively prepare to address any vulnerabilities and mitigate cyber risk.
