Gartner recently released its 2022 Market Guide for Operational Technology Security, meant to cover emerging markets currently in limbo. The editors at Solutions Review take a look at the key takeaways.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Analyst house Gartner, Inc. recently released its new\u00a0Market Guide for Operation Technology Security<\/em><\/a>. The researcher\u2019s\u00a0Market Guide series<\/a>\u00a0is meant to cover new and emerging markets where software products and organizational requirements are in limbo. Gartner\u2019s Market Guides can be a great resource for understanding how a fledgling space may line up with current and future technology needs.<\/p>\n

According to Gartner, operational technology is defined as \u201chardware and software that detects or causes a change through the direct monitoring and\/or control of industrial equipment, assets, processes, and events.\u201d Operation Technology security includes practices and technologies used to protect them. Emerging platforms are referred to as cyber-physical systems (CPS) protection platforms.<\/p>\n

When choosing a CPS security platform, Gartner recommends Security Risk Management (SRM) leaders should anchor security efforts to operational resilience, assess where they are on the typical end-user OT\/CPS security journey, and accelerate IT\/OT security stack convergence by inventorying all assets used in their organizations. Over the past few years, CPS discovery platforms have emerged to help security leaders inventory this sprawling technology estate. These platforms are usually agentless and can be explained to operations as not adding additional risk. They are also increasingly interoperable with other security tools such as SIEM or SOAR solutions. Initial platform features centered around asset discovery, visibility, and network topology. However, as vendors have continued to add new features to these platforms, they have become CPS protection platforms. Features now available include threat intelligence (TI), vulnerability management, risk scoring, or secure remote access.<\/p>\n

Gartner highlights the following vendors in the OT Security market: Accenture, AirEye, Airgap, Armis, Barracuda, BeyondTrust, Blue Ridge Networks, Booz Allen Hamilton, Capgemini, Cervello, Claroty, Cylus, Darktrace, DeNexus, Dispel, Dragos, Forescout, Fortinet, Hexagon, Kudelski Security, Microsoft, Mission Secure, Nozomi Networks, NTT, Onclave Networks, Open Cloud Factory, Optiv, Orange Group (Orange Cyberdefense), Ordr, Owl Cyber Defense, Palo Alto Networks, Radiflow, Red Trident, SCADAfence, SecurityGate.io, Shift5, Tenable, Verve, Waterfall Security Solutions, and Xage Security.<\/p>\n

Gartner describes the OT\/CPS journey as a six-phase process:<\/p>\n
