CISA Official Urges Greater Focus on OT Systems Security

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Deputy Director Nitin Natarajan is urging critical infrastructure sectors to “elevate the discussion” of the growing risks of legacy operational technology (OT) systems.

At GDIT Emerge in Washington, D.C. today, Natarajan explained that unlike legacy IT systems, legacy OT systems present a unique challenge because they cannot as easily be replaced with newer generations of technology.
