How to Secure Third-Party Remote Access in OT Environments

Remote third-party access is a particular problem in OT environments compared to IT environments, since OT often uses older legacy systems with longer replacement cycles. Consequently, the operators may not be familiar with using more advanced systems with remote connections as they more often work on-site. Also, there is often a lack of IT support in factories. Where remote access is needed, it is essential to ensure that the right, authorized, person - or machine ID - is connecting to the right resource for the approved purpose.
