![]() ![]() Legacy technology is also cited as a top challenge for expanding OT SecOps visibility. * Insufficient risk visibility across IT and OT domains (38%). * Hiring and retaining staff who understand cybersecurity (38%) ![]() * Communication silos between relevant departments (39%) * Training IT staff in OT security (54%) Four out of the five top barriers highlighted by respondents are related to staff: NSM is rarely (less than 10%) deployed at a physical process and basic control level deep in OT environments.Īside from visibility gaps, the study reveals major people and process challenges to expanding SecOps across IT and ICS/OT environments. However, deployment of EDR on engineering and operator assets stands at less than a third (30%) of responding organisations. The report highlights endpoint detection and response (EDR) and internal network security monitoring (NSM) as crucial tools to help provide that root cause data. Being able to detect events across IT and OT environments is the most critical to identifying root causes and preempting future threats that could potentially disrupt operations. This shortfall is also implicit in another finding: cyber event detection (63%) is the top capability that respondents want to integrate between IT and OT silos, followed by asset inventory (57%) and identity and access management (57%). However, even where respondents have a more “expansive” SOC, only half (53%) of their OT environments provided data for detection purposes. The study finds that half of the organisations now have an enterprise SOC that includes some level of ICS/OT visibility. OT security programmes may be lagging, but there’s a fantastic opportunity to close the visibility and skills gap by consolidating onto a single SecOps platform.”Īs the use of IT and OT networks increases both in South Africa and globally, there is a continued expansion of the threat landscape. Yash Pillay, senior solutions engineer: African cluster at Trend Micro, says: “IT-OT convergence is already driving digital transformation for many industrial organisations, but to effectively manage risk in these environments, IT and OT security operations (SecOps) must also converge. These are among the findings from a new Trend Micro study, “Breaking IT/OT Silos With ICS/OT Visibility”. Enterprise security operation centres (SOCs) are expanding their capabilities to the OT domain, but major visibility and skills-related challenges are causing roadblocks. ![]()
