Industrial control system (ICS) equipment benefits from security by obscurity and complexity. The protocols are so unique and require so much effort to master that nobody but a motivated nation-state is going to spend the time and money figuring out how to attack them. Remote monitoring can help improve security by giving security analysts access to real-time data from those systems. Remote management of ICS/OT systems via a cloud interface is a dangerous proposition, though, that will “require a fundamental rethink of the way in which entities operate””]
