OT Security All-in-One, Volume 2

OT Security All-in-One, Volume 2: Industrial Cyber Defence and Engineering Controls is a 349-page professional reference work for the architect, the OT engineer moving into cyber, and the detection team. Volume 1 built the mental model; Volume 2 gets your hands dirty.Defending operational technology is not the same as defending an office network: an unplanned reboot can stop a physical process. This volume shows how to segment industrial networks, design an industrial DMZ, control remote and vendor access, manage identity and privilege where shared accounts still exist, run vulnerability and patch programmes that respect the process, and build OT monitoring and detection that engineers will trust.Chapters cover OT threat actors from criminal and nation-state groups to insiders and suppliers, ransomware and the industrial shutdown economy, living-off-the-land techniques in engineering environments, securing PLC logic, HMIs, historians and engineering workstations, protocol-aware monitoring, OT SOC design and detection engineering, and the engineering controls that keep a plant safe while security is applied.Every chapter follows the same practitioner rhythm: objectives, an opening scenario, a plain-English explanation, an engineer-grade technical deep dive, a verified real-world incident, common failure patterns, a controls-and-evidence table you can lift straight into a programme, the board-level implication, a checklist, review questions and key takeaways. The Volume 2 review chapter doubles as an index into the parts you need.Written for CISOs, CIOs, COOs, OT security architects, industrial control engineers, SOC leaders, GRC managers, auditors, board advisors, critical infrastructure operators, consultants, suppliers and system integrators responsible for environments where cyber incidents can become physical incidents.Key topics include: industrial cyber defence; network segmentation; industrial DMZ; remote access; vendor access; PLC and HMI security; engineering workstations; historians; OT monitoring; OT detection; OT SOC; operational technology.
