Risk-Based Vulnerability Management and Patching Industrial Systems

Risk-Based Vulnerability Management and Patching Industrial Systems

SANS

Patching in Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Operational Technology (OT) environments does not normally follow traditional IT patching processes, schedules, or methodologies. Common security advisories and vulnerability scores provide useful guidance, but effective ICS/OT patching requires careful engineering-informed analysis and close coordination with engineering teams to prioritize safety. This blog outlines key considerations for ICS/OT defenders looking to adopt a practical, engineering-driven approach to industrial control system vulnerability management.
