Use Cases
Bring specific and converged IT+OT threat monitoring, detection and investigation under a single platform — delivering 24/7 coverage by OT-specialized security experts, native integrations with OT cybersecurity agents and sensors, NDR appliances between IT and OT landscapes, and providing collaborative SOC escalation playbooks purpose-built for critical environments (OT, IoT, IoMT).
This service is ideal for organizations operating critical infrastructures — manufacturers, energy producers, utilities, transportation operators, hospitals— undergoing IT/OT convergence that need unified threat visibility and expert-managed response across both domains, without the risk of security actions disrupting operational continuity.
Taegis MDR for OT was architected from the ground up as a converged IT/OT solution — with OT-native integrations, specialist analysts and operationally-aware response playbooks that prioritize uptime alongside security.
Service features
🔍 Pre-requisites and approach
- OT agents or network sensors to monitor OT assets and specific OT trafic
- Part of the global Abilene Approach for OT encompassing 5 key elements:
- Defensible architecture
- ICS security monitoring
- Secure remote access
- Risk-based vulnerability management
- Incident response
🔍 What it monitors
- OT environments — PLCs, HMIs, SCADA systems, industrial controllers and field devices
- IT/OT convergence layer — traffic and telemetry flowing between corporate IT and operational networks
- Endpoints & network — via OT endpoint agents and Taegis NDR for IT/OT traffic inspection
- Leading OT toolsets — native integrations with Nozomi, Seclab (and Dragos, Claroty, SCADAfence) for deep OT visibility
🧠 How it works
- OT and IT telemetry are unified in Taegis XDR, where machine learning and CTU threat intelligence correlate cross-domain signals — detecting threats that pivot between IT and OT networks.
- This service leverages a dedicated Taegis tenant for OT, so it also applies to customers already having a SOC service for IT delivered from another MSSP on a different platform
- A dedicated OT Specialist Team (separate from standard MDR analysts) investigates OT-specific detections, with deep knowledge of industrial protocols, asset behavior and operational context.
- Collaborative escalation playbooks are built jointly with the customer during onboarding, ensuring response actions never inadvertently disrupt production.
- 24/7 access to OT security experts via live chat in under 90 seconds.
