The industrial threat landscape has fundamentally shifted. The Dragos 2026 OT Cybersecurity Report confirms a sobering reality: adversaries are no longer relying solely on noisy IT malware. Instead, they...
The myth of the airgap has been unequivocally shattered. As industrial environments increasingly embrace hyper-connectivity to drive predictive maintenance and operational efficiency, the convergence of Information Technology (IT) and...
By the time you finish reading this, thousands of industrial commands will have been executed across power grids, manufacturing floors, and water treatment plants globally. The unsettling reality? Most...
Background: The Structural Crisis in Industrial Network Design For decades, Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) relied on physical isolation-the legendary “air gap”-as their primary line of...
The Evolution of ICS Network Mapping: Background For decades, Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) operated behind the protective shroud of physical air-gaps. Facilities relied on static...
Understanding Lateral Movement in Industrial Control Systems: Background For decades, Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) operated under the fundamental premise of an “air gap”-the total physical and...
