Eaton, Tenable Address OT/IT Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure
Surge in cyber incidents underscores the need to mitigate threats
PITTSBURGH — Eaton and Tenable Inc. announced a new cybersecurity partnership to help customers secure critical power systems and industrial control environments. The collaboration leverages Eaton’s deep domain knowledge of electrical systems and industrial environments with Tenable’s market-leading solutions to provide expansive information technology/operational technology (IT/OT) cybersecurity management.
Analysts predict the global number of IIoT connections will reach 37 billion by 2025. As electrical systems and industrial control equipment become more connected, a robust cybersecurity program requires coordination between OT and IT departments.
