3 More OT Remote Access Assumptions Worth Reconsidering

In a previous article, we examined four long-held assumptions about OT remote access that deserve to be revisited. This follow-up explores three more questions that are reshaping how industrial organizations think about secure remote access.

Why Secure Access Is Becoming Cybersecurity's Biggest Priority

4 OT Remote Access Assumptions Worth Reconsidering

As OT remote access becomes increasingly essential to industrial operations, some long-standing assumptions about security, third-party vendor access, and legacy infrastructure deserve a second look.

Why Third-Party Access to OT Environments Requires Stronger Security Controls

Third-party access to OT environments must be secured with identity-based, least-privilege controls rather than broad network access to reduce ransomware, supply-chain risk, and operational disruption.

How Shared Vendor Accounts in OT Put Uptime and Accountability at Risk

Shared vendor logins feel efficient, but they can obscure accountability and slow recovery when something goes wrong. This blog explores the operational risks of shared accounts and offers practical tips for how to control remote third-party access without disrupting production.

Third-Party Remote Access in OT: The Soft Underbelly of Industrial Cybersecurity

New research shows that over 50% of organizations rely on unmonitored third-party access. Learn why vendor remote access is a leading OT cybersecurity risk – and how to secure it with identity-based access, time-bound controls, and real-time monitoring.

The Double-Edged Sword of Third-Party Vendors in Manufacturing

Learn how to stay productive and protected when granting potentially risky OT systems access to third-party vendors and OEMs.

Why Securing Operational Access Is Critical to AI Data Center Resilience

As AI data centers become critical infrastructure, ensuring resilience increasingly depends on safeguarding the operational systems that keep them running. Building on recent insights from the World Economic Forum, this article argues that operational access control is essential to secure and reliable AI data center operations.

OT Security Fundamentals Hold Strong Against AI-Assisted Cyberattack on Mexican Water Utility

The recent AI-driven cyberattack targeting a Mexico water utility revealed both the risks of ungoverned IT/OT convergence and the growing importance of OT security fundamentals like access control and segmentation.
