Mit Exposure-Management Cyberrisiken in cyberphysischen Systemen reduzieren
Exposure-Management ist mehr als klassisches Schwachstellen-Management. Es handelt sich um einen strategischen, geschäftsorientierten Ansatz, der Cyberrisiken in Operational-Technology-Umgebungen (OT) ganzheitlich bewertet und priorisiert. Statt nur bekannte Schwachstellen aufzulisten, berücksichtigt Exposure-Management zusätzlich Faktoren wie veraltete Firmware, unsichere Protokolle, End-of-Life-Hardware oder Konfigurationsfehler. Entscheidend ist dabei nicht nur die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines Angriffs, sondern auch die Auswirkungen auf Geschäftsprozesse,…
