Frequently asked questions 
about threat protection 

Threat protection in OT environments is crucial to safeguard industrial processes from cyber threats and unauthorized access. It helps prevent production downtime, operational disruptions and potential safety hazards caused by cyber attacks.

Common cyber threats in OT environments include malware, ransomware and phishing attacks. These threats can lead to data breaches, production disruptions and compromise sensitive operational data. Implementing the right software can help these organizations stay safe. 

Organizations can ensure continuous monitoring and updates by implementing automated tools and systems that regularly scan and assess network assets and configurations. This ongoing monitoring helps detect and respond to emerging threats in real-time.

When selecting threat protection solutions, organizations should consider factors such as scalability, compatibility with existing infrastructure, ease of integration, vendor support, compliance with industry standards and the ability to provide comprehensive visibility and control over OT assets.
