This SANS industrial control systems (ICS) poster offers guidance on defining the differences between cybersecurity defense methodologies, security controls, safety, impacts, skill sets, and the security missions for ICS/OT (operations technology) compared to traditional information technology (IT) security.

Understanding the differences between ICS/OT and IT security controls is not just a necessity, it's a fundamental business requirement.

For more insights on the critical importance of those differences as well as a robust and proactive approach to ICS/OT-specific security controls, download the SANS Strategy Guide: ICS Is the Business.
