Operational Technology (OT) security focuses on protecting industrial control systems, connected devices, and operational environments that support critical infrastructure and manufacturing operations. Unlike traditional IT security, OT security prioritizes safety, reliability, and continuous operations while reducing cyber risk.

While IT security protects business systems and data, OT security protects the technologies that monitor and control physical processes. OT environments often include legacy systems, specialized equipment, and operational requirements that demand a different approach to cybersecurity and risk management.

Yes. Effective OT security programs are designed to minimize operational disruption by assessing existing environments, prioritizing risks, and implementing security controls that align with production schedules and business requirements. The goal is to strengthen security while maintaining safe and reliable operations.

Organizations that rely on industrial control systems or critical infrastructure can benefit from OT security services. This includes manufacturing, energy and utilities, oil and gas, mining, transportation, food and beverage, water and wastewater, and other operational environments where system availability is essential.

Every OT environment is different. iON works with your team to understand your operational technologies, identify potential risks, and prioritize recommendations based on your business objectives, regulatory requirements, and operational constraints. This allows security investments to focus on the areas that deliver the greatest value.

Yes. iON helps organizations strengthen security within existing OT environments without requiring a complete technology replacement. Services are designed to integrate with current operations, helping improve visibility, reduce cyber risk, and support long-term operational resilience.
