Cyber Hardening is the process of securing a system by reducing its vulnerabilities. In general, cyber professionals who harden systems try to reduce the attack surface by reducing the functions and features of a system to the essentials. Cyber hardening has a long history in the information technology industry, but represents a new frontier in operational technology.
