With OTbase Inventory, organizations have a comprehensive tool for managing user access in a nuanced and effective manner. It’s not just about limiting access; it’s about optimizing it for operational efficiency. 

With tools like OTbase Inventory, the management of network topology in OT has reached a new level of sophistication. It’s not just about visualizing networks; it’s about gaining actionable insights for effective management. 

In the evolving landscape of Operational Technology (OT), asset management has transitioned from being an operational necessity to a strategic advantage.

When you have spent some time in operations technology in the last decade, it is practically impossible that you hadn’t been informed about cyber risk: The risk of falling victim…

In our previous blog post, we explored how OTbase Asset Management Software helps you match CVE data to your devices. Today, we’re diving into another powerful feature of OTbase Asset…

In the world of Operational Technology (OT), we find several orders of magnitudes more vulnerabilities than in IT. Therefore, vulnerability identification and management becomes a much more challenging task that…

Several other engineering use cases are just as important, if not more so. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the engineering use cases OTbase addresses and explain why they’re just as crucial as managing common security use cases.

A single vulnerability can cause substantial damage to critical infrastructure and result in significant security breaches. However, managing OT vulnerabilities is not always a simple process. It can be intimidating, especially when performed manually. Therefore, OT vulnerability management must be automated to increase efficiency and effectiveness. 

In the current digital era, the manufacturing and oil and gas industries extensively rely on technology to increase efficiency and productivity. However, as technological dependence increases, so does the risk of cyber attacks and security breaches. For the success of these industries, an effective operational technology (OT) asset inventory is essential.  

Oil and gas companies must use active probing as part of their OT strategy if they want to stay safe, reliable, and efficient. This will give us the visibility, speed, and accuracy we need to find threats and issues quickly, deal with them, and fix them before they become big problems.

Fact is that oftentimes the chances that an asset owner’s investment in ICS Detection technology and related services easily exceeds the damage that could reasonably be expected from a cyber-physical attack.

As we now know, the 2021 cyber incident in Oldsmar, FL was anything but a cyber attack. In reality, an employee mistakenly clicked the wrong buttons, before alerting his superiors…
