If you’ve been relying on air-gapped systems as your primary line of defense in your Operational Technology (OT) environment, this is just one layer in what should be a multi-faceted security strategy. OT is as complex and nuanced as Information Technology (IT) and demands an equally comprehensive approach to security.
From our extensive experience in the field, we’ve developed a philosophy called OT Systems Management (OTSM). OTSM is the foundational key to securing and maintaining reliable control systems. We’ve learned that technology alone is insufficient; achieving proper security and reliability in OT and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) requires the seamless integration of “man and machine.”
OTSM is the active administration of operational technology systems, which control cyber-physical processes. The key functional elements of OTSM include:
Explore the transformative advantages of implementing a strong OTSM strategy. From heightened security to streamlined operations, here’s what you can expect:
Enhance your industrial security strategy, incorporating OT systems management, in our upcoming webinar as we explore data consolidation, vulnerability management, compliance, and streamlined local action automation.
With over a decade of specialization in Operational Technology Systems Management (OTSM), Verve has been the trusted partner for numerous industrial organizations. Our years of hands-on experience have furnished us with vital insights that can help accelerate your OTSM journey:
In the realm of OTSM, disjointed objectives can be disastrous. Our experience shows that the most successful programs have a robust alignment between the operational teams, security divisions, and systems management groups.
We help you facilitate strategic alignment sessions, often involving C-level stakeholders, to set clear objectives, unify priorities, and develop a shared roadmap. A high level of alignment ensures a smoother transition, more efficient operations, and a greater return on investment.
Having multiple platforms for managing risks only multiplies the risks themselves. Centralization in an enterprise OTSM platform is essential for coherent and effective risk management.
We offer the Verve Security Center as a centralized enterprise platform for your OTSM needs. It allows you to evaluate risks at a global level while also providing localized control for immediate, site-specific remediation. Automated tasks ensure you are always a step ahead of any security vulnerabilities.
In addition to OT expertise, OTSM demands an understanding of Information Technology (IT). The most resilient organizations are those that balance internal and external talent pools for a comprehensive multi-disciplinary approach.
At Verve, we help you strike this delicate balance by offering tailored support that complements your internal resources. Whether you need specialist expertise for a specific challenge or broad-based support for general operations, our services are flexible enough to adapt to your needs.
Implementing an effective OTSM strategy involves more than just new technology—it’s about reshaping your organizational culture and mastering the fine art of balancing OT and IT. That’s where Verve comes into play. As a partner deeply attuned to the nuances of Operational Technology, we’re uniquely equipped to fast-track your OTSM success. With Verve by your side, you gain a software solution, a wealth of experience, and innovative strategies designed for OTSM excellence.
