The proactive strategy proving key for industrial control systems leaders.
by John Cusimano, Armexa Chief Strategy Officer
ICS Cyber Acceptance Testing offers industrial organizations a valuable opportunity to rigorously test the strength of their cybersecurity systems, meticulously examining every potential scenario and vulnerability. The core principle behind ICS Cyber Acceptance Testing is that identifying and mitigating risks early in the operational lifecycle, ideally before a system or facility becomes functional, significantly reduces the potential for catastrophic outages or failures.
Organizations that implement ICS Cyber Acceptance Testing gain confidence in the proper implementation of their cybersecurity measures. Their operations engineering staff are better trained and more aware prior to startup, equipped to manage, monitor, and respond to a range of security incidents. As many organizations have learned through experience, proactive cybersecurity is far more effective and less costly than reactive measures. ICS Cyber Acceptance Testing is not just a best practice; it’s a necessity in today’s increasingly complex and threatening cyber landscape. It’s an investment in resilience, ensuring operational continuity and safeguarding against potentially devastating consequences.
