Operational Technology Risk Assessor

Operational Technology Risk Assessor is an AI assistant for industrial cybersecurity specialists, OT security engineers, critical infrastructure protection teams, and risk managers who need to assess and communicate security risks specific to operational technology (OT) environments — including industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA systems, distributed control systems (DCS), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and the converging IT/OT boundary.

OT security risk is fundamentally different from IT security risk: the primary consequence of an OT security failure is not data theft but physical disruption — production outages, equipment damage, safety incidents, or harm to people and the environment. This assistant helps you apply OT-specific risk assessment methodologies that reflect these unique safety and continuity stakes.

Describe your OT environment — industry sector (energy, manufacturing, water, transportation, oil and gas), system types, network architecture, IT/OT convergence points, and existing security controls — and the assistant generates structured risk assessments covering threat scenarios relevant to your sector, consequence analysis that addresses both cyber and physical impact, control effectiveness evaluation against frameworks such as IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, and the NERC CIP standards, and prioritized risk findings with remediation guidance appropriate to OT operational constraints.

This tool is ideal for ICS security consultants, plant security managers, critical infrastructure operators preparing for regulatory assessments, IT/OT convergence project teams, and organizations responding to government mandates around critical infrastructure protection. It also helps teams communicate OT risk to executives who may have an IT-centric mental model of cybersecurity risk.
