Intrusion Detection Systems

Greater connectivity / Greater risk

Many organisations rely on third-party contractors and vendors to streamline and support their operations. Smaller organisations may engage consultants to assist with programming and maintaining their PLCs. Comparatively, larger organisations often connect their process control devices to vendors for 24/7 support and maintenance.

While increased connectivity boosts productivity, it introduces new risks that make securing Industrial Control Systems (ICS) networks critical.

A changing landscape

The shift in how industrial networks are operated and maintained makes it crucial for organisations to monitor their infrastructure against cyber attacks and third-party system misuse.

There is also an ever-present threat from insiders, including disgruntled employees, human error, and network and system misconfiguration, that could affect or disrupt the production process.

Whether or not these threats are malicious, they can potentially impact an organisation's revenue, and this is increasingly drawing attention from the boardroom.

Reducing the threat

Organisations can mitigate against threats and reduce risk to the production environment by implementing a comprehensive monitoring infrastructure for their ICS network.

An efficient monitoring infrastructure enables early problem detection, reduces potential damage, and facilitates quicker incident recovery.

Before choosing and implementing a monitoring solution, an organisation must evaluate the risks and threats to the network and devices. This assessment is essential to ensure the appropriate solution is applied.
