摘要

The increase in cyber-attacks impacts the performance of organizations in the industrial sector by exploiting vulnerabilities in interconnected machines and systems. These attacks result in operational disruptions, compromised safety, and financial losses, affecting industrial operations' overall efficiency and security. This article presents a framework for integrating OT (Operational Technology) cybersecurity into organizational strategy. The framework includes a dynamic risk assessment methodology and guidance on incorporating governance into this process. The proposed framework treats OT cybersecurity as a vital element that supports and enhances enterprise security rather than an isolated issue. The methodology is based on four pillars—People, Process, Technology, and Suppliers—each contributing to a balanced and resilient OT environment. A robust governance approach supports this framework, ensuring coordination among departments and aligning security efforts with business objectives. This comprehensive framework allows companies to manage security risks effectively, adopt collaborative practices, and support digital transformation initiatives, including Industry 4.0. This Framework strengthens OT security and improves the organization's ability to adapt and succeed in a connected digital landscape.
