operating state
3441·updated May 9, 2026Distinct operating modes (which typically include specific Information Technology and Operations Technology configurations as well as alternate or modified procedures) that have been designed and implemented for the function and can be invoked by a manual or automated process in response to an event, a changing risk environment, or other sensory and awareness data to provide greater safety, resiliency, reliability, and/or cybersecurity. For example, a shift from the normal state of operation to a high-security operating mode may be invoked in response to a declared cybersecurity incident of sufficient severity. The high-security operating state may trade off efficiency and ease of use in favor of increased security by blocking remote access and requiring a higher level of authentication and authorization for certain commands until a return to the normal state of operation is deemed safe.
