Controlware and Omicron are collaborating to protect operational technologies in critical infrastructure from cyberattacks. The partnership targets energy suppliers, grid operators, and industrial companies whose OT security is often underdeveloped.
The focus is on protecting operational technologies — an area that is increasingly becoming a target for hackers. Many organizations still treat OT security as a secondary concern in their cybersecurity strategy.
For critical infrastructure operators, the alliance means in practice: they can draw on combined expertise from two established providers instead of building OT security from scratch internally. This reduces implementation risks and accelerates the modernization of outdated systems.
The news comes at a time when regulators and insurers are increasing pressure on infrastructure operators. OT security is no longer optional, but a compliance requirement.
