What is SOC as a Service?
Overcome your operational challenges quickly and efficiently
Managed services have long been used in the IT space to help companies maintain network quality, monitor network activity and back up and recover systems. In the OT space, managed services are relatively new, but increasingly needed as industrial operations are digitalized.
An OT managed services provider can help you monitor and administer your network and industrial assets like data centers and firewall appliances. The provider can also remotely support your application assets, and help you monitor and respond to cybersecurity risks.
This ultimately allows your on-site personnel to focus on day-to-day production priorities, knowing plant assets and cybersecurity challenges are not only monitored but are proactively managed by a team of experts.
Strategies to Cut Costs and Strengthen OT Security
How to improve both operational efficiency and cybersecurity defenses
Cybersecurity costs businesses a lot of money – and with no measurable income as a result. That leaves executives and board members scratching their heads and pondering, “We know cybersecurity is important. How do we determine the right level of investment?”
We‘ve developed a list of three strategies you can use to maintain good cybersecurity hygiene, while still managing costs. (Learn also about Zero Trust in OT and the Protect Surface approach to identifying, prioritizing and securing critical operational assets over time.)
- Manage to the Exception:
Start from the worst-case scenario, or the exception to the status quo, and work backward to create your strategy from there. - Automation:
Transfer tasks that do not require human judgment, to a machine. Knowing when to use automation can save companies a significant amount of money. - Know When to Outsource, and When to Keep it Internal:
Bring in an outside source to help when you don’t have the talent in-house.
