About
OT Briefing
Independent intelligence platform for European operational technology and industrial control systems cybersecurity. Primary focus on the water sector and critical infrastructure across the European Union, with a Baltic and Lithuanian regulatory anchor.
What this is
OT Briefing combines an AI-assisted research pipeline, an editorial dashboard, and a public bilingual blog. Coverage focuses on incidents, vendor advisories, regulatory developments, and sectoral practice that affect operators of essential and important services under NIS2 and TIS2.
The voice is practitioner-instrument: analytical, dry, source-backed. Posts lead with concrete facts, then their implications for sectoral SOC managers, water utility CISOs, and ENISA, CISA, or national CERT technical staff.

Languages

Editorial line
Every post relies on three or more primary sources before stating an analytical thesis. Vendor product reviews, conference coverage without independent analysis, listicle formats, and speculation about ongoing investigations are out of scope. Disclosure footnotes accompany any vendor mentioned in a positive light where a procurement relationship exists.
