Govern infrastructure vendors and managed-service providers through clear standards, performance expectations, escalation paths, and continuous-improvement plans. Develop and maintain OT infrastructure standards, asset and lifecycle practices, automation, configuration controls, and repeatable operating procedures. Conduct infrastructure risk and vulnerability assessments and implement mitigations that balance cybersecurity, personnel safety, regulatory obligations, and manufacturing availability. Ensure business-continuity and disaster-recovery plans are documented, tested, and improved through exercises and lessons learned.
