Frequently asked questions
Can OT/SCADA testing be performed without disrupting live operations?
Yes. We design and coordinate penetration testing to minimise disruption. By working around maintenance windows and applying proven safety measures, we ensure your operations continue smoothly during testing.
How is OT/SCADA testing different from IT penetration testing?
OT/SCADA testing is tailored for industrial systems, where uptime and safety are vital. Unlike standard IT testing, it uses specialised techniques to ensure operations continue without disruption.
What is OT/SCADA penetration testing?
OT/SCADA testing evaluates the security of your industrial control systems without interrupting critical operations. It uncovers weaknesses in protocols, network segmentation, and access controls to help safeguard your infrastructure against targeted cyber threats.
What issues can OT/SCADA testing uncover?
This type of assessment helps identify common but dangerous issues - such as misconfigured systems, outdated software, insecure access points, and lack of network segmentation that could leave your business exposed to cyber threats.
