Shieldworkz OT Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) Service is a service offering for operational technology (OT) environments that identifies, prioritizes, and helps mitigate security weaknesses. The service is structured into several phases: - Pre-Assessment and Scoping: agentic AI based asset discovery, security maturity evaluation, risk exposure quantification, CVE pooling, and high risk command scanning to define the assessment scope and schedule. - Passive Vulnerability Assessment: non-intrusive evaluation to discover outdated firmware, weak access controls, network/asset misconfigurations, unsecured legacy systems, and insecure communication channels without impacting operations. - Penetration Testing: controlled simulation of real-world attack scenarios to test for unauthorized access, privilege escalation, and potential attack paths, conducted to avoid disruption to OT operations. - Cyber Risk Analysis and Reporting: prioritization of vulnerabilities based on risk and business impact with a risk score, remediation recommendations, and reporting of exploitable attack paths. - Mitigation: assistance implementing security controls and patch management strategies, breaking identified attack paths, continuous monitoring recommendations, and defense-in-depth approaches such as DMZ and microsegmentation. The service targets industrial control systems and OT networks to assess and improve security maturity across critical assets, communication protocols, and network architecture.</description> <parameter name="summary">OT/ICS vulnerability assessment and penetration testing service by Shieldworkz
