Securing Privileged Accounts in Industrial Control Systems (CS) and Operational - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

Industrial organizations face greater cyber security challenges today as traditionally air-gapped or segmented operational technology (OT) networks become increasingly connected to IT systems and the internet, exposing critical ICS endpoints and other assets to aggressive threats related to abuse of privileged accounts or other currently very common threats like ransomware.
