Exposed Paths in OT Networks

What if the biggest security risk to your industrial control systems isn't a malicious hacker, but rather a simple disconnect between when a work order closes and when network access is actually shut off?In this episode we break down the hidden dangers of insecure remote access conditions and explore why PAM is not failing in OT, but rather being asked to enforce a physical work state it cannot see. We walk through real-world examples of exposed engineering paths and unpatched VPNs, and discuss the consequences of a visibility gap between operations and network access. We argue that the problem lies not with the tools, but with the disconnection between different states that never converge.The reality is that this gap can have devastating consequences, from allowing attackers to gain access to sensitive systems to putting entire operations at risk.Subscribe to our podcast to learn more about the intersection of industrial control systems and cybersecurity, and to stay up to date on the latest threats and solutions.#OTSecurity #ZeroTrust #IndustrialCybersecurity
