While it\u2019s logical to consider applying proven IT security concepts and approaches to the OT security domain, it\u2019s not a one-to-one swap.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few reasons for this. First, OT environments have unique constraints that need to be considered. As well, not every OT technology can support IT-style security solutions\u2014and when they can, the OT environment often isn\u2019t set up to provide the data security operations teams need.<\/p>\n<p>To better understand these IT\/OT security challenges, Trend Micro and the SANS Institute surveyed nearly 350 industrial organizations and have published a <a href=\"https:\/\/resources.trendmicro.com\/SANS-ICS-OT-Visibility-Survey.html\"><span class=\"bs-modal\">joint findings report<\/span><\/a>, identifying a number of complex challenges related to people, processes, and technology.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"body-subhead-title\">A recognized need for OT security<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Many organizations seem to understand the value of bringing IT security practices over into the OT environment. Just about half of all survey respondents said their enterprise security operations center (SOC) has some level of OT visibility, and 37% said they had an OT-specific SOC. The majority (67%) of those without either said they plan to expand their SOC to include OT capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>When asked where they face the greatest difficulty bridging the two together and overcoming the silos between IT and OT, more than half of all respondents (51.2%) said \u201cpeople\u201d\u2014well ahead of processes (28.4%) and technology (18.6%).<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"body-subhead-title\">People and IT\/OT security<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A big reason people challenges dominate is that OT security incidents require a combination of IT and OT expertise. Relatively few IT personnel have both, yet in 40% of cases, they\u2019re the ones handling OT cybersecurity incidents.<\/p>\n<p>Compounding the issue, 54% of respondents said training IT staff in OT security is their number-one barrier to expanding security operations. (Communication silos, recruitment and retention of staff who understand cybersecurity, and training OT staff in IT round out the top four.)<\/p>\n<p>Part of what makes it hard to cross-train IT staff in OT security (and vice-versa) is that the two are founded on different principles. In IT, protecting data and assets from harm\u2014and keeping private information private\u2014is the name of the game. In OT, availability and safety take precedence.<\/p>\n<p>Helping staff appreciate those differences is key and should be at the foundation of any training program. Then they can learn about specific OT equipment and the technologies needed to protect it. One way to help IT and OT teams understand to the \u201cother side\u201d is by rotating them through the two work environments, giving them exposure to both.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"body-subhead-title\">The importance of process to IT\/OT security<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The need for incident response plans, priorities, and procedures is also well understood in both the IT and OT domains. Only 6% of respondents said their organization had no OT-specific incident response plan. But here again the unique requirements of OT environments matter. For example, operations and engineering need to be much more active participants in OT incident response, and this should be reflected in any plan.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/recommended_practices\/final-RP_ics_cybersecurity_incident_response_100609.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Department of Homeland Security<\/a> points out that \u201cstandard cyber incident remediation actions&#8230; may result in ineffective and even disastrous results\u201d when used to respond to OT events, so customization and adaptation are key. Quarantining or deleting files in an infected OT asset, for instance, could affect key industrial processes. The operational and safety impacts need to be thoroughly understood.<\/p>\n<p>Standardizing incident response processes\u2014supported by automation where possible\u2014also helps streamline them. This is highly valuable because both containing and eradicating cyber incidents are seen as among the most labor-intensive OT security activities.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"body-subhead-title\">Technology challenges for IT\/OT security<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To respond to cybersecurity incidents, an organization needs to be able to detect them, and nearly half (45.7%) of respondents said their cyber event detection capabilities were less mature for OT than for IT security.<\/p>\n<p>This is partly due to a lack of data. Where respondents said they have more expansive SOCs, only about half (53%) of their OT environments provide the data needed to detect cyber threats. This is surely related to the fact that endpoint detection and response (EDR) capabilities are deployed on a minority of OT systems and devices.<\/p>\n<p>OT environments also have different legacy technologies and devices than IT environments, and those legacy technologies are perceived as a major barrier to making all critical OT systems visible to cybersecurity monitoring. Endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems often can\u2019t support older OT technologies.<\/p>\n<p>The upshot is that organizations wanting to make OT security risks more visible may need to assign dedicated resources, mature the organization\u2019s cybersecurity capabilities, and deploy purpose-built security solutions that can collect data to understand anomalies. Where these capabilities can\u2019t be installed on a given device because it\u2019s unable to run them, they can often still be deployed around the device to reduce blind spots in the environment.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"body-subhead-title\">What\u2019s the way forward?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Given the increased networking of IT and OT environments, 63% of respondents said they favor establishing a shared capability to detect cyber events across the two. That requires a platform approach to cybersecurity\u2014one that makes threats more visible across the whole enterprise. Extended detection and response (XDR) is really the only solution that can provide this today, monitoring the whole environment (if not every device) and centralizing data for analysis, correlation, and faster identification of cyber threats.<\/p>\n<p>A platform will also make overall security operations more efficient and effective, especially where automation can alleviate labor-intense security activities, reduce human error, and augment small or under-resourced teams.<\/p>\n<p>With the right mindset and understanding of the inherent differences between IT and OT, and with the right tools in place, organizations can overcome their people, process, and technology challenges and benefit from closely networked IT and OT environments.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"body-subhead-title\">Next steps<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For more thought leadership on IT\/OT security, check out these other Trend Micro resources:<\/p>\n<p> Read More <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/ciso\/23\/h\/it-ot-security.html\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Connecting IT and OT environments can give industrial organizations powerful efficiencies, but it also introduces cybersecurity challenges.
