A power generation company aimed to advance its IT/OT convergence efforts through a comprehensive security review and recommendations.

Challenges

The organization sought clarity on the following critical areas:

  • Vulnerability assessment of internet-facing assets.
  • IT-OT operations audit, including on-site physical assessment.
  • Visibility into OT networks and risk assessment from an IT-OT perspective.
  • Cybersecurity threat modelling tailored to industrial operations.

The Solution

Our team conducted detailed site visits and interviews with both IT and OT stakeholders. We also facilitated a full-day cybersecurity threat modelling workshop to assess potential risks.

A comprehensive security audit report was delivered, covering:

  • VA/PT results with actionable insights.
  • OT-specific findings with a clear risk score (scale of 5).
  • Identified automation asset anomalies requiring urgent fixes.
  • Blind spots in the OT network and corresponding threat vectors.
  • Current security posture analysis based on control coverage.
  • Security scores are assigned to each existing security control.
  • A mapped-out risk profile and step-by-step remediation plan.

Outcomes

The engagement resulted in a strategic security roadmap aligned with Industry 4.0 readiness.

It is clearly defined:

  • "Must-have" controls to meet critical compliance and risk standards.
  • "Nice-to-have" controls for improved long-term maturity.

The company is now better prepared for Industry 4.0 integration with improved visibility, risk awareness, and security governance.
