Extending Zero Trust Principles to OT Cybersecurity: European Market Perspective
Many European organizations are still at the early stages of OT security maturity, facing challenges such as legacy systems, skill shortages, and lack of management awareness. By extending zero trust principles to OT environments, organizations can overcome existing challenges and better protect their critical infrastructures. This approach is essential for improving OT security maturity and defending against evolving cyberthreats."Zero trust is a recognized concept in IT security, but it has not been widely adopted and applied to OT environments across Europe. This gap presents a significant opportunity for organizations to explore how integration of zero trust principles into OT security can address their key concerns, such as protecting critical infrastructure, ensuring business continuity, and enhancing risk management."
