Operational Technology (OT) and Infrastructure Technology (IT) systems are converging with the rapid addition of centralized remote management in OT systems. Previously air-gapped systems are now interconnected through the internet with application-specific protocols. This has led to systems that had limited access points being remotely accessible. In different OT sectors, legacy protocols previously transmitted over serial communication were updated to allow internet communication with legacy devices. New protocols such as IEC-61850 were also introduced for monitoring of different OT resources. The IEC-61850 standard’s Generic Object Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) protocol outlines the representation and communication of a variety of different …
