In industrial operations, where even minor disruptions can have cascading consequences, a robust security is paramount. A single misconfiguration can leave critical infrastructure vulnerable to cyberattacks, potentially leading to safety hazards, environmental damage, and significant financial losses.

At OSICS, we understand the critical importance of secure configuration for industrial control systems. Our team of experts leverage their extensive experience to:

• Develop and implement secure configurations:

  We tailor secure configurations based on industry best practices and specific needs of your environment.

• Domain Security, Policies, and Groups:

  Domain security relies on a three-pronged approach: policies, groups, and access controls.

  • Policies establish overall security guidelines, outlining user behaviour, password complexity, and acceptable software use.

  • Groups categorize users based on their roles and permissions within the domain.

  • Access controls leverage these groups to determine which resources and functionalities each user can access within the domain environment. This layered approach ensures sensitive data and systems are protected while enabling efficient workflows.

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC):

  RBAC simplifies access management by assigning permissions to users based on their job functions. This ensures users have access only to what they need, reducing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data or critical systems. RBAC follows the principles of least privilege access and segregation of duties.

• System Hardening (OS & Network):

  • OS Hardening: Securing your system’s core by removing unnecessary features, tightening permissions, and keeping software updated.

  • Network Hardening: Protecting communication channels by closing unused ports, implementing firewalls, and segmenting the network to minimize potential damage. A comprehensive system hardening approach significantly reduces the attack surface and strengthens overall security for industrial control systems.

• Security Systems Implementation:

  At OSICS, we assist with implementing security systems such as anti-malware protection, application whitelisting, data loss prevention, backup and restore, and configuring audit policies and logs. By partnering with OSICS, you can ensure your industrial control systems are comprehensively secured.
