The risk of supply shortages means that even minor disruptions could have significant consequences. Cyber attackers have been specifically targeting this sector in an attempt to disrupt essential services. Furthermore, the operational technology and control systems often utilized in this sector are situated in remote or hard-to-access locations, making the implementation of security measures more challenging.

The comprehensive solutions package comprises enhanced multi-vendor OT Device support, advanced intelligent secure remote access, and comprehensive OT security and device management capabilities.”
