Operational technology (OT) cybersecurity leaders face a daunting challenge: defending critical infrastructure against increasingly deceptive, fast-moving, and hard-to-contain cyber threats. From pipelines to power grids and water treatment facilities, recent high-profile breaches have exposed vulnerabilities that persist even in well-funded environments. But while the tools and tactics of attackers evolve, many of the most damaging incidents still stem from familiar, preventable failures. That’s what makes Armexa’s latest article a must-read for anyone serious about OT security.
This article doesn’t just recount the dangers—it offers a clear, actionable roadmap grounded in real-world lesson along with examples, such as a water treatment plant compromised by poor remote access controls and an oil refinery brought down by a single misconfigured network switch. These aren’t edge cases—they’re recurring patterns that highlight the enduring importance of cybersecurity fundamentals.
If you’re responsible for protecting critical infrastructure or simply want to understand the evolving dynamics of OT cybersecurity, this article is for you.
