The business benefits of digital transformation in grid operations are tremendous, but this progress also expands cyber risk to Operations Technology (OT) in terms of safety, unscheduled downtime, and negative impact on corporate brand. When electric utilities use cloud-connected software to better automate their operations, bolster predictive maintenance, or connect industrial devices to business intelligence platforms, they are more tightly coupling OT with Information Technology (IT) systems.

The good news is that there are practical steps to take to enhance the security of Industrial Control Systems (ICS) environment and mitigate cyber risk today. Read the report to find out how to effectively confront the most common cybersecurity challenges by:

• Identifying and inventorying OT assets
• Monitoring assets for vulnerabilities and weaknesses
• Detecting threats and initiating incident response
• Addressing the IT/OT cybersecurity gap
