NCC Group Joins Global Cyber Security Alliance for Operational Technology
Rezul News/10438492
New coalition will develop end-to-end guidelines to enhance security of critical infrastructures and industrial control systems
SAN FRANCISCO & MANCHESTER, England - Rezul -- NCC Group, the global cyber security and risk mitigation expert, today announced that it has joined a new alliance to provide a technical and organizational framework for safe and secure operational technology (OT). The Operational Technology Cyber Security Alliance (OTCSA) aims to bridge dangerous gaps in security for OT and critical infrastructures and industrial control systems (ICS), and consequently to support consumer and business activities in an environment that is constantly evolving. NCC Group joins industry leaders ABB, Check Point Software, BlackBerry Cylance, Forescout, Fortinet, Microsoft, Mocana, Qualys, SCADAFence, Splunk and Wärtsilä to establish the OTCSA.
"NCC Group has always been dedicated to protecting all networks, and as a security specialist with operations around the world, we are very aware of how critical infrastructures and industrial control systems are essential to the global economy," said SVP Kevin Dunn at NCC Group. "We constantly evaluate the security posture of operational technology in different installations, and we see how it is often far behind other IT systems. We look forward to working with our new partners in OTCSA to help ensure that security is integrated as an operational priority from inception in every project, and develop guidelines that can have a positive effect throughout these vital industries."
The need to strengthen security networks in this market is undeniable: Even a small compromise can affect infrastructures in oil & gas, utilities, transportation and telecommunications. Moreover, 60% of organizations using ICS have indicated that they experienced a breach in their systems in the past year, while 97% acknowledge security issues because of the convergence of IT and OT1.

The OTCSA intends to meet these challenges with a five-fold mission:
Until now, there has been no industry group focused on improving cyber risk posture by providing tangible architectural, implementation and process guidelines to OT operators and solution providers so that they can navigate necessary changes, upgrades and integrations to evolving industry standards and regulations. These robust security guidelines will cover the entire lifecycle—procurement, development, deployment, installation, operation, maintenance and decommission—and address aspects related to people, process and technology.
OTCSA promotes collaboration amongst IT and OT operators and leading companies in the industry. Membership is open to any company that operates critical infrastructure or general OT systems to run its business (OT operators) as well as companies providing IT and OT solutions (solution providers).
