In today’s world, digital security is more essential than ever. With increasing reliance on technology in every sector, from healthcare to manufacturing, comes a growing need for robust cybersecurity. This is especially true in Operational Technology (OT) environments, where technology often lags and risks are all the greater. This is where Fesma comes in, an organization that not only recognizes the challenges facing aging OT systems, but also provides innovative and customized solutions to these unique problems.
Let’s start with a little explanation: OT environments are systems that manage physical processes, think of the systems that control a water treatment plant or manage the power grid. These systems are critical to our daily lives, but are often built on technologies that were not originally designed with contemporary digital threats in mind.
Fesma sets itself apart by not simply offering the latest tech gadgets as solutions, but by digging deeper. Where many organizations make the mistake of thinking only in terms of technology, Fesma goes a step further. The secret to sustainable security, especially in OT environments, lies not only in the technology itself, but also in the processes surrounding it.
At Fesma, we realize that the best security comes from a combination of advanced technologies, such as Zero Trust and 802.1X authentication, as well as supporting strong processes. Zero Trust is a security concept based on the principle “never trust, always verify,” which means that every attempt to access the system is thoroughly verified, regardless of the source. This helps build a secure environment where even if the technology is obsolete, the process and method of access control minimizes the likelihood of breaches.
At Fesma, we know that the key to effective security lies not only in the technology, but also in how it is implemented and managed. Our focus is on creating robust processes that support and enhance technology. This means developing customized solutions that take into account the unique needs and challenges of each OT environment, and providing the training and support needed to effectively manage and maintain these systems.
