OT Cybersecurity for the Telecommunications Sector
Telecommunications networks, data centers, broadcast infrastructure: the telecommunications sector is both critical infrastructure in its own right and the foundation on which all other sectors depend : energy, healthcare, transportation, industry. NIS2 (European cybersecurity regulation) explicitly classifies it among essential digital infrastructures, with strengthened resilience obligations.
Sector-specific challenges
- Role as cross-cutting critical infrastructure: a compromise of telecommunications cascades across all sectors that depend on it.
- Advanced IT/OT convergence, spanning network management systems, monitoring equipment, and physical infrastructure (antennas, data centers, fiber).
- Extreme availability requirements (often close to zero downtime) across infrastructure deployed at large scale.
- Extensive attack surface, with numerous remote sites and remotely managed maintenance equipment.
