Tailored Framework For Operational Technology In Development
The Air Force is set to apply zero trust cybersecurity principles to its industrial control systems, but a senior official warned that these systems cannot simply inherit the same requirements as information technology systems. Department of the Air Force Chief Information Security Officer Aaron Bishop said that a tailored framework specifically for operational technology is now in the works, recognizing that systems like airport runway landing lights and elevators behave differently from email servers. The initiative is part of the Pentagon’s broader effort to secure its assets from cyber attack, as reported by Breaking Defense.
