Resilience

SCADA and OT Incident Response Readiness

Coordinate security, engineering, operations, safety, leadership, communications, legal, and vendors before an incident forces decisions.

Define decision authority

Document who can isolate networks, disable remote access, stop equipment, invoke manual operation, contact regulators, engage vendors, and authorize recovery.

Build process-aware playbooks

Cover compromised remote access, ransomware, unauthorized logic or configuration change, loss of view or control, vendor compromise, and suspected safety impact.

Prepare evidence and communications

Establish logging, time synchronization, contact lists, secure communications, evidence-handling procedures, and alternate coordination methods.

Exercise recovery assumptions

Run tabletop and technical recovery exercises that test escalation, containment choices, backups, replacement dependencies, restoration, and safe return to service.
