Backups and recovery in OT: the problem is not copying, it is getting back
In OT, a backup only matters if it lets you rebuild engineering workstations, HMIs, historians, and critical configurations without improvising in the middle of an incident.
Analysis, technical guides and trends on IT/OT cybersecurity and cyber threats.

Engineering workstations and HMI servers combine high privileges, legacy software, and direct access to PLC and SCADA systems. If they are not hardened, the rest of the OT security stack loses force.
Remote access to industrial networks has multiplied, but most implementations ignore OT-specific risks. We break down the attack vectors and the controls that actually protect.
Patching industrial systems doesn't work the way it does in IT. Fifteen-year lifecycles, 24/7 availability requirements and legacy protocols make patch management one of the hardest problems in OT cybersecurity.
Incident response plans built for IT fail in industrial environments. Availability comes first, the protocols are different, and disconnecting a PLC is nothing like shutting down a laptop.
Supply chain attacks targeting industrial environments grow every year, yet most OT organizations still blindly trust their vendors. We look at why this is a problem and what to do about it.
Zero Trust in industrial environments is not an IT copy-paste exercise. It is a practical model for verifying every critical access request, reducing implicit trust, and stopping credential abuse from becoming a process-level incident.
If your OT network is still flat or only cosmetically segmented, you do not have defense in depth. Proper segmentation remains the highest-impact control for reducing lateral movement and protecting industrial continuity.
Ransomware has evolved from a general IT problem into a critical threat to the operational continuity of industrial plants. Here's why it happens and how to defend against it.
Why cybersecurity in Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) environments is now a critical necessity for any industrial organization.
