CISA’s Hilarious Plea: Stop Treating OT Security Like an Afterthought!
CISA’s new guidance urges companies to ditch outdated cybersecurity habits and adopt a taxonomy-based OT asset inventory. As cyberattacks on operational technology rise, CISA says, “Assume nothing, start fresh.” Because nothing says security like categorizing your way to safety—one OT asset at a time!
Hot Take:
If operational technology (OT) environments were high school students, they’d be the ones who show up to class without a pen but somehow end up acing every exam. Thankfully, CISA is handing out free pens with a side of serious guidance to get these industrial overachievers to start taking cybersecurity seriously. Maybe now, OT will stop being the rebellious teenager of the tech world and start adulting in cybersecurity.
Key Points:
- CISA releases new foundational guidance for OT cybersecurity.
- OT cyberattacks have increased by 87% in the US over the past year.
- OT environments must adopt a taxonomy-based asset inventory for better security.
- Collaboration includes agencies from the US, Australia, Canada, Germany, The Netherlands, and New Zealand.
- Ignoring OT security could spell disaster for critical infrastructures.
