https://lnkd.in/dq3t9b6k The Pentagon’s Operational Technology Problem Jim Dempsey, Andrew J. Grotto Monday, December 15, 2025 The readiness of America’s warfighters depends on the cybersecurity of operational technology that is largely unregulated. The Pentagon should accelerate the development of specific, prioritized OT cybersecurity requirements to be incorporated in contracts for inside-the-fence and outside-the-fence utility services. This should include attention to the sensors, actuators, and other devices collecting physical-world data at the very foundation of OT systems. A good starting point would be the controls in a suite of standards adopted by the International Society of Automation specifically for industrial automation and control systems. The National Security Agency has recently built on these controls with recommendations for OT in systems under its purview. Implementation of OT security requirements for utilities serving military installations should assume that on-base and off-base OT systems will not be air-gapped and will include China-made devices, so the focus should be explicitly on resistance to compromise in systems that are connected and use China-made devices. Several times a week, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issues alerts describing newly discovered vulnerabilities in OT devices widely used in critical infrastructure. With Chinese, Russian, and Iranian hackers already observed in U.S. critical infrastructure, reforms to accelerate procurement of more lethal weapons would be wasted if there is not also reform aimed at the basic utilities that support the readiness and deployment of those very weapons.
