ICS Business Continuity
In today's landscape of growing cyber threats and regulatory pressures, a strong business continuity strategy for your Industrial Control System (ICS) is essential for resilience and compliance.
Ensuring business continuity through robust planning and incident response helps protect the integrity of systems, minimize risks, and sustain operations during crises, ultimately safeguarding the company’s reputation and profitability.
Securing ICS Business Continuity is Critical
The ultimate purpose of securing business continuity is to ensure the continuous operation of your operational assets - in effect your Industrial Control Systems (ICS), without the risk of experiencing any incidents, attacks, or security breaches.
To do this, three main challenges must be solved: ensuring comprehensive Processes and Procedures, Detailed Assets Overview, and Secure, Automated Data Transfer. In addition, any obsolesence issues must be handled.
Processes and Procedures
Processes and procedures are the backbone of business continuity, especially in ICS environments, where maintaining operational stability is critical.
Clearly defined and well-documented processes ensure that teams can respond swiftly and effectively to restore operations should an incident occur.
The ICS Business Continuity service gives you easy access to the right information - at the right time.
Assets
Ensuring ICS Business Continuity requires you to have a complete and detailed overview of all your installed assets - both hardware and software.
For each asset, you need to know all the relevant details, and you need to know what maintenance and preventive tasks that needs to be performed to keep the asset secure.
The ICS Business Continuity service gives you all that.
Vulnerabilites and Risks
An important part of the asset overview is identifying all existing vulnerabilities and risks for each and all of your assets.
Not only that, but you also need to know what specific processes and procedures must be followed to handle the vulnerabilities and risks for each asset.
The ICS Business Continuity service gives you easy access to all through an easy-to-use dashboard.
Tasks
The ICS Business Continuity service automatically creates tasks you need to complete in order to handle any vulnerabilities and risks related to you installed assets.
The ICS Business Continuity service will also keep track of completed and uncompleted tasks in an easy to read KPI overview.
Project management
The Project Management part of the ICS Business Continuity service gives you an overview of your current cybersecurity status.
This is shown in a Gannt chart containing all tasks and their level of completion, helping you with your planning and you resource allocation challenges.
Cybersecurity
The NIS 2 Directive makes having a comprehensive cybersecurity program mandatory for all companies affected by the directive.
Compliance requires a comprehensive approach to relevant processes and procedures, information about assets, vulnerabilities, and tasks
The ICS Business Continuity service provides all of this through an easy-to-use dashboard.
Secure Data Transfer
Any connection to your Industrial Control System (ICS) is a potential risk for incidents, attacks or security breaches.
To avoid those risks, your ICS must have controlled unidirectional communication with clear boundary definitions installed.
The ICS Business Continuity service gives you just that.
Life Extension
Any obsolescence issue in your Industrial Control Systems (ICS) is a potential risk for incidents, attacks or security breaches.
To avoid those risks and ensure your ICS is future-proof, all your current obsolete ICS hardware or software assets must be identified and updated or replaced.
Similarly, you must prepare for future obsolescence by identifying any assets that will become obsolete in the future.
The ICS Business Continuity service will help you identify any current or future obsolecense challenges.
