Should We Have Two Triads in OT/ICS Cybersecurity? CIA vs. SRP
In Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control System (ICS) cybersecurity, two foundational security models are guiding how organizations protect critical infrastructure: the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) triad, and the more recent Safety, Reliability, and Performance...
Navigating Network Monitoring: Real-World Case Studies from the Field
Designing and deploying network monitoring solutions in industrial environments is rarely straightforward. Every facility has its own unique blend of legacy systems, bandwidth demands, physical constraints, and security requirements. At Enaxy, we’ve worked alongside OT and IT teams across...
Navigating Network Monitoring: Choosing the Right Tool for the Job
In today’s industrial landscape reliability, efficiency, safety, and cybersecurity are no longer optional but fundamental requirements. As Operational Technology (OT) increasingly converges with Information Technology (IT), and as Industrial Control Systems (ICS) become more complex and...
Navigating Network Monitoring: SPAN vs. TAP in Industrial Environments
In today’s complex and highly interconnected Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control System (ICS) environments, network visibility is not a luxury it’s a necessity. Industrial networks are the backbone of operations across energy, utilities, manufacturing, transportation, and critical...
Navigating Network Monitoring: An Introduction
At Enaxy, we understand just how high the stakes are in industrial networking. Across sectors like energy, utilities, manufacturing, and critical infrastructure, our clients turn to us when visibility falters, data loss threatens operations, or security gaps jeopardize compliance and safety. These...
The State of Cybersecurity in Canada 2025: Awareness is High, Execution is Low
Every year, the cybersecurity conversation in Canada grows louder and more urgent. The Canadian Cybersecurity Network’s latest publication, The State of Cybersecurity in Canada 2025, brings that urgency into focus. At just over a hundred pages, the report is one of the most comprehensive overviews...
New Joint Guide on Creating “Definitive View” of OT Architecture: Why It Matters, What’s Strong, and How to Put It to Work
CISA[1] recently released guidance focused on creating an Operational Technology (OT) asset inventory and taxonomy. That guidance was arguably the clearest public playbook for building an OT asset inventory that drives risk reduction in critical infrastructure organizations. Now...
Empowering Operators: The Key Role of Cybersecurity Awareness in OT
What Is Cybersecurity Awareness Training? Cybersecurity awareness training is a structured educational program designed to help employees identify, avoid, and report potential cyber threats. The goal is to foster a security-conscious culture across the organization by equipping personnel with the...
Is There a Right Cybersecurity Standard? – Conclusion
Throughout this series, we’ve explored several of the most recognized and widely adopted cybersecurity standards and frameworks applicable to Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS)[1]. The key takeaway is this: there is no universal “perfect fit.” The right choice depends...
Is NIST SP 800-82 Right for Your OT/ICS Environment?
In today’s hyper-connected operational landscape, the cybersecurity of Operational Technology (OT)and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) is no longer optional, it’s mission-critical. As these systems become increasingly integrated with enterprise IT networks, cloud platforms, and remote access...
Are the CISA Cybersecurity Performance Goals Right for Your OT/ICS Environment?
Securing Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) within critical infrastructure environments is a growing challenge. These systems often run on legacy technologies, rely on proprietary protocols, and are built with high availability (not cybersecurity) as the primary...
CISA’s New OT Asset Inventory Guidance: Why it Matters, What it Changes, and How to Put it to Work
Why this guidance now? CISA’s message is straightforward: without a trustworthy OT asset inventory and a common taxonomy to describe it, you can’t build a modern defensible architecture or manage cyber risk in plants, substations, or distributed operations. The document ties...
