How to Protect an OT Network With a Next-Generation Firewall and Industrial Cybersecurity Service

Network segmentation with a next-generation firewall (NGFW) is a critical first step in securing an operational technology (OT) network. Industrial firewalls for OT networks typically demand a tough exterior while also containing specific, purposebuilt controls and cybersecurity for unique industrial (non-IT) networks. Because networks and cybersecurity are not static, cybersecurity controls must be updated and refined to provide real-time protection in an ever-changing industrial and critical infrastructure threat landscape.

Download this checklist to understand these five key considerations in choosing an industrial (OT) firewall:

• Ruggedized firewalls for harsh industrial environments
• NGFWs for advanced OT security
• Intrusion prevention systems built for OT
• Advanced application control for OT protects insecure-by-design PLCs
• Integrated network and cybersecurity across OT and IT
