You Need Cyber Deception for OT

Operational technology (OT) environments often lack the forensic data, audit trails, and historical records necessary to investigate cyberattacks after they occur. Cyber deception techniques, such as honeypots and decoys, can help OT defenders detect intrusions and gather evidence that would otherwise be unavailable. Organizations should consider deploying deception to improve visibility and response capabilities in industrial control system (ICS) environments.

Why it matters: OT asset owners and defenders need detection and forensic capabilities in environments where traditional logging is sparse; deception can bridge that gap to catch attacks in progress.
