Operational Technology or in short OT has become more significant in the industry as the industrial processes continues to improve. What is operational technology? While the term Information Technology (IT) is a much more familiar to us, the concept of OT has been around longer than that of IT. Operational technology, as defined by Gartner,
At the heart of every industrial facility is a network of industrial control systems which is comprised of purpose-built controllers. Sometimes known as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), these controllers are dedicated industrial devices that serve as the bedrock of all industrial processes. Today’s sophisticated Operations Technology (OT) environments have a
This is archived of the webinar conducted on 2020-Jun-18 10 am – 11 am for registered participants. For those who missed it, feel from the record of the session below. This is routine hour long technical overview, highly essential and recommends for existing customers who are intent to addon to Immunity CANVAS SCADA+ Exploitation Pack,
What is Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)? SCADA systems are essential for industrial organizations as they help maintain efficiency, process data for smarter results, and communicate system issues to help reduce time. The SCADA system includes hardware and software components. Hardware collects and consumes data into computers that have SCADA software installed. The computer
The Industrial Control System (ICS) is a general term used to describe hardware and software integrations with network connections to support critical infrastructure. ICS technologies include, but are not limited to, control and data acquisition controls (SCADA) and distributed control systems (DCSs), automated systems and control systems (IACSs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), programmable automation controls
The understanding Industrial Control System(ICS) basic term is used for any distributed control system (DCS), programmable logic controller (PLC), supervision and data acquisition (SCADA) or automation systems used in industrial environments critical infrastructure. ICS security is designed to protect the system from any interruption whether intentionally or unintentionally, which may lead to undesirable ICS operations.
The distributed control system (DCS) is a specially designed automated control system consisting of geographical control elements distributed in the plant or control area. It differs from a centralized control system where a central controller controls the control function, but in DCS each element or process machine or machine group is controlled by a specific
Industrial Control System (ICS)/SCADA System is widely adopted in manufacturing, energy and utilities, chemical and petroleum industries for mission critical industrial automation. For quick key term definition. Operational Technology (OT) refers to computing systems that are used to manage industrial operations as opposed to administrative operations. Operational systems include production line management, mining operations control,
