secure connectivity

The secure connectivity tag on WindowsForum.com covers guidance for designing and managing safe connections into operational technology (OT) environments. Recent content highlights a joint publication by CISA and the UK National Cyber Security Centre that outlines an eight-point framework of secure connectivity principles for OT. This framework treats connectivity decisions as safety-critical design choices, providing asset owners with engineering and governance guardrails to reduce attack surface, limit blast radius, and preserve availability for essential services. The tag focuses on industrial network security, regulatory compliance, and threat-driven connectivity challenges.
