Securing Industrial Control Systems: A 5-Step Compliance-Driven Strategy with Bently Nevada
INTRODUCTION: MODERN INDUSTRIAL CYBERSECURITY CHALLENGES
Industrial control systems (ICS) face accelerating OT-IT convergence risks, while compliance frameworks like IEC 62443 mandate proactive defense. Bently Nevada’s 5-step strategy secures PLC/DCS networks with regulatory alignment.
STEP 1: RISK-BASED ASSET INVENTORY
– Critical Action: Map legacy PLCs/DCS using System 1® software for automated asset discovery.
– Key Metric: Establishes baseline protection protocols with 98% inventory accuracy.
