# Federal Agencies Strengthen OT Resilience

Federal agencies are being urged to make operational technology (OT) resilience a core part of modernization and funding priorities, applying zero-trust principles without compromising safety or continuous operations. The article identifies no specific solicitation, contract award, funding amount, or compliance deadline, but points to potential demand for services and products that improve visibility and security across operational networks.

- Contractors may find opportunities in OT asset visibility, passive monitoring, network segmentation, secure remote access, and tested isolation and continuity planning.
- Agencies and bidders should account for the safety and uptime needs of operational environments when proposing zero-trust and cybersecurity solutions.
- Because no procurement vehicle or funding is identified, companies should treat this as a market signal rather than a current solicitation and clearly connect proposed capabilities to resilient, continuous operations.
