The Role of Backup and Recovery in OT Cyber Resilience
Backup and recovery are a critical foundation of any OT incident response strategy. In the event of ransomware, malware infection, or accidental configuration loss, having a reliable and tested OT backup solution can mean the difference between quick recovery and prolonged downtime.
Unlike traditional IT systems, OT environments often rely on legacy devices, proprietary controllers, and configurations that are not easily restored. That's why it's essential to have:
✅ Automated, versioned backups of PLCs, HMIs, and other OT devices
✅ Secure, offline storage to prevent compromise during an attack
✅ Regular backup testing and restoration procedures
✅ Visibility into unauthorized changes or file integrity issues
