Discover the VDMA's free OT risk cookbook with practical guidance for securing OT systems and improving cybersecurity.
The VDMA working group Industrial Security has published the OT risk cookbook, which deals specifically with the security requirements of operational technology (OT). The cookbook offers practical guidance for securing OT systems, outlines the differences between IT and OT and the resulting challenges, and provides recommendations for improving cyber security awareness within companies.
The title "cookbook" symbolizes the guide's adaptability to the needs of each company, similar to how recipes can be varied to suit taste. The cookbook covers five use cases for OT risk analyses, including extending an ISMS to OT and implementing IEC 62443-2-1.
The aim is to help companies better identify OT risks and increase the security of their production-critical infrastructure. The OT risk cookbook provides valuable insights and practical examples to master the unique challenges of OT security.
