What was once a largely isolated environment (production lines, machines, control systems, etc.) is now connected and therefore exposed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;re talking about<\/span> <b>operational technology, or OT<\/b>, <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an area where security can no longer be treated as an optional add-on, but as a critical part of the daily operation of any company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some tools stand out, such as Kartos, which provides organizations with a clear, up-to-date, and prioritized view of the cybersecurity risks affecting them. It doesn&#8217;t just identify vulnerabilities;  <\/span><b>it helps assess the company&#8217;s actual exposure, where the risk lies, and how to reduce it before it is exploited.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Operational technology: an industrial environment that is no longer isolated<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For decades, operational technology networks operated separately from traditional computer systems. This isolation was, in itself, a layer of security. However, the need to improve efficiency, share data, and remotely control processes has led   <\/span><b>OT systems to be interconnected with IT networks and cloud services.<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>What does this mean in everyday life?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IT\/OT convergence offers clear advantages: continuous monitoring, predictive maintenance, energy savings, and reduced downtime.

Here are some of the most common: <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Ransomware in industrial environments<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ransomware attacks are no longer solely focused on stealing or encrypting data. They also aim to paralyze entire factories, disrupt supply chains, or compromise critical equipment.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Misconfigured remote access<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remote access is proper, yes, but it&#8217;s often enabled hastily, with weak passwords, or without adequate controls. This is one of the vectors that causes the most incidents in OT environments. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Older equipment without support<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many industrial machines are decades old. They&#8217;re still working, but they no longer receive security patches. When connected to the network, they become easy targets.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Configuration errors<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even a small, unmonitored open port can serve as a gateway for attackers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Risks in the supply chain<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suppliers are also part of the OT ecosystem. A security breach in their network can ultimately affect the company as a whole. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All these factors make it clear that a specific protection strategy is needed for operational technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4349\" src=\"https:\/\/enthec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/riesgos-tecnologia-operativa.jpg\" alt=\"Security Risks in Operational Technology\" width=\"650\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/enthec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/riesgos-tecnologia-operativa.jpg 650w, https:\/\/enthec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/riesgos-tecnologia-operativa-300x290.jpg 300w, https:\/\/enthec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/riesgos-tecnologia-operativa-350x338.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why proactive cybersecurity is essential in OT<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The philosophy of proactive cybersecurity is based on<\/span> <b>anticipating risks.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It is not enough to react when something goes wrong; we must identify threats before they create a real problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Operational technology cannot stop<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In IT, a failure can lead to data loss or work interruptions. Serious, of course, but manageable. In OT, a failure can halt a production line, generate millions in losses, endanger workers, or affect critical services.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That&#8217;s why<\/span> <b>OT security should aim to prevent incidents from their origin.<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Threats are constantly evolving<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The attackers already know the weaknesses in the operational technology. They are looking for  <\/span><b>old faults, careless configurations, or forgotten access.<br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. An annual review or a static analysis is not enough to keep up with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. The exposure changes, although the infrastructure does not.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if the company does not install new machines, its exposure may vary due to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New connections.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changes in suppliers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Software updates.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Human errors.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Newly discovered vulnerabilities.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Supervision must be continuous.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>What does a CTEM approach bring to operational technology environments?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The<\/span> Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a framework that has gained traction in recent years. It enables organizations to, on an ongoing basis, understand the risks they face, their potential impact, and the actions to prioritize. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How CTEM is applied to OT operational technology<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-implemented CTEM strategy in OT helps to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify exposed assets, including those the company may have forgotten.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Detect insecure configurations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Control how the attack surface changes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prioritize risks based on actual impact, not assumptions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guiding teams towards faster and more informed decisions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where solutions like Kartos stand out for their<\/span><b> comprehensive approach and their ability to continuously monitor exposure <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">without interrupting industrial operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Kartos: a realistic and helpful solution for protecting operational technology<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike other tools that focus on<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/enthec.com\/en\/real-time-vulnerability-management-a-step-forward-in-cybersecurity\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vulnerability detection<\/span><\/a>, <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kartos helps visualize the actual exposure of each asset, supplier, and process connected to the network.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Advantages of using Kartos in an OT environment<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provides a clear, prioritized view of the attack surface.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identifies<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/enthec.com\/en\/keys-to-supplier-evaluation-how-to-manage-third-parties-in-your-company\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">risks in external providers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facilitates quick decision-making.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduces the likelihood of incidents that affect production.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provides context: it not only shows vulnerabilities, but also their potential impact.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For companies with complex OT environments, this is critical. Knowing what might fail before it does is a matter of money and safety. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Proactive cybersecurity best practices in operational technology<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To strengthen an OT environment, these measures are especially recommended:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Complete and up-to-date inventory<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can&#8217;t protect what you don&#8217;t know. A living inventory, not a static document, is essential. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Network Segmentation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Properly separating IT and OT environments limits lateral movement in the event of an intrusion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Continuous monitoring<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OT systems require constant monitoring to detect unexpected changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Strict access control<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have accounts with minimal privileges and remote access protected by multiple factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Constant review of the supply chain<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every vendor is a potential point of attack. The good news is that many of these measures can be automated or better managed with CTEM tools like Kartos. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Anticipating is the only viable strategy<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital transformation is already a reality in the industrial sector. Operational technology is more connected than ever, and that brings enormous benefits\u2026 but also obvious risks. In this environment, reactive cybersecurity falls short.   <\/span><b>Companies need approaches that are up to today&#8217;s challenges:<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">continuous, intelligent, and aligned with real impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solutions like Kartos help organizations understand and manage their exposure without slowing operations. That&#8217;s the key: protect without stopping, anticipate without alarm, monitor without interrupting. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your company works with operational technology and wants to understand its actual exposure to threats, <\/span>start today with continuous, proactive analysis.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
