Why IT and Hybrid SOCs should not be used to protect industrial networks
Today, hybrid Security Operations Centers (SOC) are starting to appear in the market; that is, those in which IT and OT cybersecurity professionals work together to manage the security of OT networks.This type of hybrid management poses high risks to the operational continuity of OT networks.
This document in the “CCI Notebooks – Issue 6 series” written by the CCI coordinator in Brazil, Marcelo Branquinho, provides an in-depth explanation of the various aspects of operational network cybersecurity management to demonstrate why it is not recommended to use IT and Hybrid SOCs to protect industrial networks.
The document is available in Spanish, English and Portuguese.
