"New Alliance Aims to Scupper Cyber-attacks on Operational Technology"
The Operational Technology Cyber Security Alliance (OTCSA) is a new global alliance aimed at improving the security of OT used in critical and industrial infrastructure. OT refers to the hardware and software used to detect or make changes by monitoring and controlling industrial devices. Cyberattacks on this technology could damage productivity, cause ecological disasters, and endanger public safety. The OTCSA will take on a multi-pronged approach to reducing the risk of cyberattacks, which includes bolstering the cyber-physical risk posture of OT environments, providing guidance to OT operators on how to maintain the security of their OT infrastructure, and supporting the implementation of critical infrastructure with a higher level of security. This article continues to discuss the OTCSA's mission, approach, and members.
