Why now
  • Recent targeting of OT systems by threat actors like Volt Typhoon underscores urgent security needs.
  • CISA and federal partners have collaborated to provide tailored zero trust guidance for OT environments.
  • The guidance reflects evolving cyber threats and the need to protect critical infrastructure from compromise.
Why it matters
  • Operational technology supports critical infrastructure sectors vital to national security and public safety.
  • Implicit trust in OT networks leaves them vulnerable to sophisticated threat actors.
  • Zero trust principles help mitigate risks by enforcing strict access controls and continuous validation.
