Why secure OT protocols still struggle to catch on
Industrial control system networks continue to run on legacy communication protocols that were built for reliability and uptime, not authentication or data integrity. In many environments, malicious actors with access to the OT network can impersonate devices, issue unauthenticated commands, or modify messages in transit without detection. A new guidance document from the Cybersecurity and…
