OT Security Checklist for Manufacturing and Energy Plants

Manufacturing and energy plants rely on operational technology to manage their operations, including systems such as programmable logic controllers and supervisory control and data acquisition systems. The integration of these technologies poses risks to plant operations and services. Security breaches in plant control systems can have severe consequences, including physical damage to equipment and disruption of production or service. Additionally, such breaches may also threaten the safety and health of employees. The use of operational technology in these plants introduces potential vulnerabilities that need to be addressed.
