OT Cybersecurity Assessment Services

Identify critical assets, risks and attack vectors with OT Cybersecurity Assessments

Our main OT cybersecurity assessments are the following:

1. Asset & Network Discovery
2. Vulnerability Assessment – Penetration Tests (VAPT)
3. Risk Assessments

We also offer additional OT assessments such as Red Team exercises, compliance assessments, incident response assessments and more!

Importance of Having Regular OT Cybersecurity Assessments

Back in the day, IT and OT were kept separate, but nowadays with increasing interconnection and the desire for more data and streamlined processes, this gap has diminished. An understanding of what you have, how it’s all connected and the vulnerabilities that exist is crucial when it comes to protecting industrial businesses. Our OT cybersecurity assessments offer a holistic analysis of threats and vulnerabilities with recommendations on how to fix the security gaps.

Do you know your vulnerabilities? Stop assuming and start knowing. Businesses who wait until it’s too late will end up spending significantly more financially compared to businesses who are proactive.

Red Trident offers a full spectrum of OT cybersecurity services

1. Advise – Provide guidance and compliance support
2. Assess – Uncover vulnerabilities & exploit them
3. Fix/Remediate – Fix the problems to lower the risk
4. Monitor – Detect and respond to alerts & hunt for threats
5. Respond – Incident response for any issues that arise
6. Train – Provide training to your in-house team

OT Cybersecurity Assessments

– Step 1 –

Asset & Network Discovery

In order to implement a security program around production OT environments, you must understand what you have. This includes systems, software, policies, processes, and personnel.

• Comprehensive understanding of your environment
• Typically finds devices you didn’t realize you still had (and data flows that should have been removed years ago)
• Having this foundation, allows a more focused and accurate risk assessment

If you don’t currently have an accurate and up-to-date inventory list, this is where we’d recommend you start.

– Step 2 –

Vulnerability Assessment

The next step falls into the “Identify” phase of a cybersecurity program and highlights areas of mitigation, improvement, and risk reduction for an organization.

• Identifies vulnerabilities and misconfiguration of ICS hardware, software, and networks
• Provides a clear picture of connectivity and networked assets
• Identifies risks associated with existing processes, standards, and personnel
• Identifies current capabilities to protect, detect, respond, and recover from attacks, security anomalies, or incidents

– Step 3 –

Risk Assessment

A cybersecurity risk assessment is a vital process that helps organizations identify and understand the digital threats they face. By analyzing assets, vulnerabilities, and evaluating potential impacts, this assessment helps to prioritize risks and take decisive action to protect data and systems. The outcome is a detailed understanding of risk with the risk value quantified in dollars invested.

• Provides detailed Risk Understanding
• Shows the financial risk your cyber investment has provided
• Shows if and where investments should be made to manage additional risk

Other OT Cybersecurity Assessments

Security Architecture Reviews

Whether you have brown field OT environments or are moving to green field, it is critical to understand security risks in architecture and network design and how to mitigate those risks. At Red Trident, our expertise in network architecture design can identify shortcomings in existing OT network architecture or even provide input from the start of the design process for a new OT environment.

• Brownfield Architecture Review
• Early Design phase engagement
• Security Acceptance Testing and Design Reviews
• Support for remote access and digital initiatives

ICS Compliance Assessments

Red Trident’s cybersecurity team has extensive experience in many OT environments including wastewater, power and utility, oil and gas, maritime, and manufacturing. Because of this, we can support cybersecurity assessments focused on regulatory, standards-based, or contractual requirements.

• Frameworks and Standards
• Regulatory compliance requirements
• Contractual compliance requirements

Incident Response Capability Assessment

A key component of any OT cybersecurity program is incident response. If you have an incident response team, plan, or playbook in place but don’t know how your organization would respond to a severe incident, Red Trident can help. If you haven’t yet documented or built an incident response capability, we can help there as well.

• Tabletop exercises to evaluate and document gaps in response capabilities, tools, and processes
• Identify response effectiveness against real-world attack scenarios
• Identify risks in communication, planning, and logistics during an incident
• Alignment of Business Continuity Plans to respond effectively to cyber events
• Scenarios targeted to your organization based upon threat intelligence and your critical risks and concerns

Red Team Exercises

Physical and logical attack campaigns that simulate real-world tactics, techniques, and procedures to break into an organization’s infrastructure and move throughout the environment. This testing challenges and evaluates existing physical and logical security measures and technologies in place and helps the organization understand how they people, processes, and technology will stand against attacks of various scales.

• Social Engineering
• Physical Red Team Exercises
• Real-world attack simulation to identify detection and response capabilities

Operational Continuity & Recovery Assessment

Ensuring an organization has the ability to continue operations or recover is critical to limiting the impact of an incident in ICS environments. The baseline of ‘what is in place’, should be fully understood and all of the components of operational continuity and recovery should be evaluated. This includes the plans, personnel, procedures, backups, spares, and redundancy. The following are areas of focus when evaluating documentation and the environment to which it applies:

• Personnel
• Communications
• Technology Issues
• Facilities
• Manual Operations
• Redundancy of Control, Operation, and Supervision
• Critical Spares
• Software Version Control
• Data Recovery
• Backup and Recovery
• Procedures
• Backups and business tolerance for each of these areas
