Operational technologies (OT) are integral to industries requiring precise control of physical processes, such as energy, manufacturing, and public utilities. They present unique security challenges due to their specialized devices, protocols, and operational requirements. Below is an in-depth analysis of key considerations, categorized by components, protocols, and sectors.
Embedded Systems
1. Internet of Things (IoT)
- Threats:
Weak or default credentials make IoT devices a prime target for botnets like Mirai, which exploited vulnerable IoT devices to launch massive DDoS attacks. Insecure APIs expose IoT devices to unauthorized access and data theft.
