SP 800-82 Rev. 4, Guide to Operational Technology (OT) SecurityInitial Public Draft
Updated 8 hours ago ()
This report provides guidelines for improving the security of Operational Technology (OT) systems while addressing their unique performance, reliability, and safety requirements. OT encompasses a broad range of programmable systems or devices that interact with the physical environment (or manage devices that interact with the physical environment). These systems/devices detect or cause a direct change through the monitoring and/or control of devices, processes, and events. Examples include industrial control systems (ICS), building automation systems, transportation systems, physical access control systems, physical environment monitoring systems, and physical environment measurement systems. This fourth revision of SP 800-82 provides an overview of OT and typical system topologies, identifies common threats to organizational mission and business functions supported by OT, describes typical vulnerabilities in OT, and provides recommended security safeguards and countermeasures to manage the associated risks. Updates in this revision include: Expanded introduction to operational technology (OT) sectors to include Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS), Water and Wastewater…
