OT is becoming increasingly digital and internet-connected. This introduces security concerns for OT commonly used in federal facilities, where typically security had not been an issue before. Previously, most OT was non-connected and had minimal cybersecurity vulnerabilities—but as new efficiencies and functionalities for enhanced flexibility and resilience are added, cybersecurity vulnerabilities need to be continually monitored and addressed. As more connected technologies, control systems, and distributed energy resources are added to federal facilities, installations, and campuses, it is more important than ever to consider cybersecurity. Poor cybersecurity posture can result in vulnerabilities that leave a facility open to an attack that can result in data corruption, financial harm, physical equipment damage, disruption of services, and even loss of life.
