IT & OT Security Assessment

IT & OT Security Assessment by Hacknox likely involves evaluating the security posture of both Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) systems. Here's a breakdown of what this service might include:

1. IT Security Assessment:

Focuses on traditional IT systems like servers, networks, applications, and databases. Key components may include:

  • Vulnerability Assessments: Identifying and prioritizing vulnerabilities in IT assets.
  • Penetration Testing: Simulating attacks to uncover weaknesses.
  • Configuration Reviews: Ensuring systems adhere to security best practices.
  • Compliance Checks: Aligning with standards like ISO 27001, GDPR, or PCI DSS.
  • Cloud Security: Reviewing cloud environments for misconfigurations and risks.

2. OT Security Assessment:

Targets the specialized systems used in industrial and critical infrastructure environments. Key aspects may include:

  • Asset Inventory: Mapping all OT assets and their communication flows.
  • Vulnerability Management: Assessing vulnerabilities specific to Industrial Control Systems (ICS) or SCADA systems.
  • Network Segmentation Reviews: Evaluating how IT and OT networks are segregated to prevent cross-contamination.
  • Incident Response Readiness: Assessing the capability to detect, respond, and recover from OT-specific threats.
  • Standards Compliance: Aligning with frameworks like IEC 62443, NIST CSF, or ISA standards.

3. Integration of IT & OT Security:

Since IT and OT systems are increasingly interconnected, Hacknox's assessment likely focuses on:

  • Identifying weak points in IT-OT convergence.
  • Testing and recommending secure communication protocols.
  • Hardening shared resources such as gateways and databases.
