• Security and incident Management are specialized for industrial control systems (ICS), understanding unique protocols and potential threats in those environments.
• IT SIEMs focus on traditional IT infrastructure, such as servers, desktops, and applications. They may not be equipped to handle specialized protocols or nuances of OT environments.

Security and incident Management can detect non-malicious anomalies that could disrupt processes. For example, unusual control system behavior might indicate equipment malfunction. By identifying and addressing these issues early, OT SIEM can prevent operational downtime and associated costs.

Security and incident Management allows for comprehensive logging and reporting of security events, facilitating adherence to various industry regulations (e.g., NERC CIP, IEC 62443). This helps organizations demonstrate they're taking necessary steps to mitigate cyber risks.

Consider factors like your organization's specific needs, budget, size, and complexity of your OT environment. Evaluate features, ease of integration with existing systems, vendor support, and scalability of the Security and incident Management solution.

Security and incident Management pricing varies depending on factors like features, deployment model (cloud, on-premise), and support. It's recommended to request quotes from multiple vendors to compare pricing and ensure the solution aligns with your budget and requirements.
