Saviynt OT Capability

[Manu269]

Hello team,

I am looking for some insights on Saviynt capabilities for OT use cases.

Is there any documents that can be referred?

Operational Technology (OT) environments are increasingly being integrated with IT systems, and with this convergence, security and identity management in OT systems have become critical. Saviynt, traditionally strong in Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) for IT environments, is expanding its capabilities to address OT use cases as well.

Saviynt Capabilities for OT Use Cases:

1. Unified Identity Management: Saviynt can manage identities across IT and OT environments, ensuring that the same governance policies are applied universally. This includes managing user access, entitlements, and ensuring compliance across both domains.

2. Privileged Access Management (PAM): For OT environments, controlling and monitoring privileged access is critical due to the potential risks associated with unauthorized access. Saviynt's PAM capabilities can be extended to OT systems, allowing for secure access to critical infrastructure.

3. Compliance and Risk Management: Saviynt provides tools for continuous monitoring and reporting, which are crucial for maintaining compliance in OT environments. It also enables the implementation of risk-based access controls, which can be vital in mitigating the risks associated with OT systems.

4. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Saviynt supports granular role-based access control, which can be applied to OT environments to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to critical systems.

5. Integration with OT Systems: Saviynt offers connectors and APIs that can integrate with various OT systems. This allows for seamless management of identities and access across both IT and OT landscapes.

Documents and References:

• Saviynt Documentation Portal: The official Saviynt documentation portal offers extensive resources, including product guides, whitepapers, and use case documentation. This can be a starting point for understanding how Saviynt can be used in OT environments.

• Saviynt Knowledge Exchange: This platform includes contributions from the Saviynt community, including use cases, best practices, and solutions that might be relevant to OT scenarios.

• Whitepapers and Case Studies: Saviynt has published whitepapers and case studies that discuss their capabilities in non-traditional IT environments, including OT. These documents can provide insights into real-world applications of Saviynt in OT use cases.
