Industrial Cybersecurity
We design to protect operational technology networks
While cyberattacks targeting information technology (IT) disrupt data and communications, attacks on operational technology (OT)—the systems managing and automating building operations and industrial equipment—pose a risk to the physical infrastructure itself. Salas O’Brien delivers industrial cybersecurity solutions to protect this critical and often-overlooked area.

Salas O’Brien’s Insights Report, “Solutions for Industrial Cybersecurity” explores current solution frameworks to protect operational technology.
The report dives into:
- What makes OT vulnerable to cyberattacks
- Security audits and vulnerability assessments
- Zero Trust Architecture
- Firewall applications and endpoint security
OT cyberattacks can cause operational, financial, and reputational damage, and pose safety risks. Authored by industry experts Dave Jennings, Dan Vogt, and John Glenski, the report highlights the issues and explores solutions frameworks.
What we can offer

Contact our industrial cyber teamNetwork mapping and asset inventory
Salas O’Brien helps identify all operational technology (OT) assets, including industrial control systems (ICS), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), SCADA systems, and sensors, using existing documentation. This process is performed without direct scanning of your network, for a safe and non-intrusive approach.
Vulnerability assessment
Salas O’Brien conducts thorough vulnerability reviews on OT systems using non-intrusive methods, protecting the integrity of your network throughout the process.
Access control review
We analyze and optimize access control protocols for OT systems, covering both physical and digital access points. Our review also includes user authentication procedures and privilege management practices.
Security policy and procedure review
We evaluate current OT-specific cybersecurity policies, incident response plans, and disaster recovery procedures. We also assess compliance with industry standards and frameworks, such as NIST, ISO, and IEC 62443.
Threat detection and monitoring evaluation
Our team examines your threat detection systems, including IDS/IPS, firewalls, and SIEM tools. We conduct log analyses to detect signs of suspicious activities or past security incidents.
Incident response readiness
We review your incident response strategies, preparing your team to handle OT-focused cyber threats effectively and efficiently.
Compliance assessment
We verify adherence to industry standards and regulations, including NIST CSF, ISA 62443, and NIST 800-82. Our team identifies compliance gaps and provides actionable recommendations to meet regulatory standards.
Security awareness and training
We assess and enhance cybersecurity awareness among OT personnel, offering tailored training sessions that strengthen your team’s understanding of cyber risks in the OT environment.
