Let's start with IT security...
Information technology (IT) security protects your digital assets:
The computers, servers, networks, email, and data that run the business side of your operation. Its core job is guarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information against unauthorized access and cyberattacks.
IT security is what most people picture when they hear the word cybersecurity. It typically breaks down into a few connected layers:
• Endpoint security: Protection for laptops, desktops, and mobile devices that staff use every day.
• Network security: Firewalls and controls that govern traffic moving in and out of your systems.
• Cloud security: Safeguards for the applications and data you host with outside providers.
• Application security: Protection built into the software your team relies on to do their jobs.
Operational technology (OT) security protects the hardware and software that run physical processes on your plant floor:
The controllers, sensors, and supervisory systems that keep machines moving, and its top priority is keeping operations safe and available rather than keeping data private.
OT covers the systems most people never see, but every manufacturer depends on:
• Industrial control systems (ICS): The broad category of equipment that monitors and directs physical production processes.
• SCADA systems: Supervisory control and data acquisition software that gathers real-time data and manages equipment across a facility.
• Programmable logic controllers (PLCs): The small, ruggedized computers that automate individual machines and production steps.
• Human-machine interfaces (HMIs): The screens and panels operators use to watch and adjust live processes.
CMIT Solutions helps secure your IT and operational technology with proactive monitoring, network protection, and expert guidance, keeping your business secure, productive, and resilient.
