BA10ics Business Agility Co., Ltd. We are pleased to announce that Toshihiro Fukuda, President and CEO of BA10ics Co., Ltd. has released a book titled "OT Mechanisms and Security Useful in the Field" today (December 8, 2021). [Published by Shoeisha]

Mechanism and security of OT useful in the field

We see a lot of terms with security such as information security, cyber security, computer security, etc. Among them, those who know OT security are probably in the minority. I think OT itself is a little-known term in the first place. This book deals with such minor OT security. The reason for this is that if OT security-related risks materialize, the impact on society and the economy will be enormous. It is true that security risks are being dealt with in the world. However, when it comes to OT security, there is a big hole (missing out). Against this background, I wrote this book in the hope that OT security would be widely known to the world. Assuming readers who are unfamiliar with OT, we provide not only the basic knowledge of OT, but also several exercises that allow you to get familiar with it. Surprisingly, it is also possible to have a simulated experience of hacking a factory. Based on these contents, we explained the risks related to OT security and how to proceed with countermeasures. We believe that everyone, from those involved in OT to those who know OT for the first time, will have fun while deepening their understanding. In recent years, due to the trend of digitization, "connected factories" called smart factories have been attracting attention. The move to open factories raises expectations for industrial development through increased added value, but at the same time raises concerns about increased damage due to increased security risks. We hope that by using this document, OT security initiatives will spread widely and contribute to the reduction of social and economic risks.
