Operational continuity: prevent chaos with Silent Bricks

In a world where digital security is increasingly crucial, protecting our operational technology (OT) is no longer a choice but a necessity. Today, OT is the backbone of industrial companies, and the importance of reliable backup systems cannot be overemphasized. Ensure operational continuity by implementing a proper backup strategy! 

The Need for Robust OT Backups

Operational technology, the driving force behind our industrial processes, requires a level of security that often exceeds traditional IT solutions. OT systems are critical to daily operations and their failure can lead to significant financial losses and even security risks. On top of that, ransomware attacks and other cybersecurity threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, which only increases the need for robust and reliable backup solutions.

The impact of an OT outage

A simple example is a manufacturing facility where machines suddenly fail due to a system failure or cyber attack. This not only results in immediate production losses, but can also lead to long-term disruptions in the supply chain and customer relationships. In some cases, even safety hazards can arise, with far-reaching consequences for both workers and the environment.

At a power company, a failure in OT systems can result in widespread power outages, causing a chain reaction of problems for both households and businesses. The financial damage, coupled with loss of reputation, can have a huge impact on the company’s operations.

In this context, reliable backups are not just a technical necessity, but a strategic tool to manage risk and ensure operational resilience.
