IoT and OT security

Manufacturers, operators, engineers, and critical infrastructure have a responsibility to deliver consistent results that are beyond 99.999% of reliability. The emergence of advanced technologies such as IoT, OT, Blockchain and 5G raises newfound security issues that organizations need to be aware of.

Unfortunately, taking a traditional IT approach to cybersecurity does not work in the OT environment. We understand the differences between OT and IT and provide expertise for these unique OT and IoT environments.

At BSI, we can help maintain the operational excellence that is required for OT and IoT environments. We are uniquely suited to understand the importance of Availability, Safety, Integrity and Confidentiality.

Whenever Operational Technologies are in use, we can help organizations understand potential risks and how to mitigate them.

At BSI, we are helping to make smart cities become a reality by ensuring that emerging technologies such as 5G, IoT, and connected devices become not just smarter, but also more secure.

To truly test your OT environment, BSI is offering, a first-of-its-kind, OT tabletop exercise handcrafted for your organization as it relates to your architecture, software, hardware, and security tools. Scenarios can cover many physical security and cybersecurity topics, such as natural disasters, pandemics, civil disturbances, industrial control systems, ransomware, malware, and insider threats. Our experts, with a combined 200 years in OT and ICS experience, will design various exercises specific to the OT operating environments based on real-world scenarios and validate possible attacks tailored to challenge your operational settings in malware incidents.

We will design and conduct the customized tabletop exercise in person, hybrid or remote at any location.

Upon completion of the exercise, BSI will issue a report to measure your organizational reliance, detailing the lessons learned, areas of potential improvements, and post-incident recovery.
