To enhance operational technology and industrial control system (OT/ICS) cybersecurity maturity, organizations can start by selecting a tailored Cybersecurity Framework that aligns with specific requirements. Initiate a comprehensive self-assessment process and deliver real-time metrics directly to senior leadership, providing a holistic view of the information technology and industrial ecosystem. Organizations can choose to delve into the intricacies by evaluating maturity and compliance levels at targeted sites, functions, and geographic locations. By implementing this approach, organizations ensure a well-informed cybersecurity strategy that is finely turned to an organization’s unique needs and risk profile.
