About SOC for OT

SOC for OT is a knowledge platform about security operations for operational technology (OT): how to monitor industrial control systems, detect attacks on them, and respond without putting safety or production at risk.

Why we exist

Security operations for OT is a young field. Practical guidance is scattered across vendor documents, standards, research papers and conference talks, and regulation such as NIS2 rarely explains what a SOC actually has to do.

We bring it together in one place: clear definitions, honest comparisons and regulation translated into concrete capabilities, so that engineers, security teams and managers can make better decisions.

What we publish

• Guides on designing, building and running a SOC for OT.
• Comparisons of SOC models, approaches and services.
• Regulation pages on NIS2, the Cyber Resilience Act, IEC 62443 and national laws, each with the date its legal status was last verified.
• A glossary of OT security terms.
