⛔ Myth: NIST CSF is enough for OT environments. ☑️ Fact: NIST CSF provides a strong baseline, but OT/ICS requires sector-specific standards such as NERC CIP for energy or IEC 62443 for industrial systems. Layering these frameworks ensures both compliance and safety. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth is the time to recognize that OT demands more than a one-size-fits-all framework.

⛔ Myth: Compliance is the end goal. ☑️ Fact: Compliance is only the starting point. Frameworks like NERC CIP, IEC 62443, and NIST CSF create the foundation, but ongoing monitoring, incident response, and workforce training are what build true resilience. This #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth, remember compliance passes an audit, but security protects operations. --- Looking to deepen your expertise?
