The need for third-party access in operational technology (#OT) and industrial control system (#ICS) environments is growing despite it being a common cause of #cybersecuritybreaches. The risks are significant, and to mitigate these risks, experts advise operators to focus on improving operations. Matthew Corwin shares his insights, stating, "Implementing and enforcing robust #accesscontrols, including strong multi-factor authentication and role-based access control for all third-party access points, can significantly mitigate security risks."   Read more here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e89n735M

My two cents: In light of the recent global IT outages, it becomes evident that certain critical operations—such as those in railways, healthcare, and airlines—should avoid relying on the EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) method for securing devices. The reason is that EDR typically necessitates connecting all operational equipment to the internet, which may introduce vulnerabilities. Instead, IT systems supporting critical operations should prioritize a closed-loop infrastructure.
