OT Cybersecurity Service Lifecycle

A circular four-phase service lifecycle around an OT cybersecurity platform.

Prompt

Create a circular OT cybersecurity service lifecycle diagram around an industrial cybersecurity platform.

Layout:
- Center: "OT Cybersecurity Platform" with small icons for asset inventory, monitoring, analytics, and response.
- Four lifecycle phases arranged clockwise: 1) Assess, 2) Harden, 3) Monitor, 4) Respond & Improve.
- Under each phase, add 2-3 short activities.
- Add small industrial assets around the outside: PLC, HMI, SCADA server, historian, remote access gateway.
- Show telemetry flowing from assets into the platform and improvement feedback returning to controls.

Style:
- Professional enterprise / industrial diagram, not marketing-heavy.
- White background, navy and slate structure, teal monitoring accents, amber risk accents.
- Use numbered phase badges and clean circular arrows.
- Keep labels compact and readable.
- Suitable for OT security white papers and service lifecycle documentation.
Use in Generator

When to use

For industrial security service descriptions, capability decks, and consulting blueprints.

Variations

Hub-and-spoke layout

Replace the circular ring with a hub-and-spoke layout: the platform in the center, four service blocks at compass points, each connected with a directional arrow.

Tips

  • Keep the four-phase ring continuous (no gaps). Service lifecycles are circular by definition.
  • Use the same number of bullets per segment. Asymmetric bullet counts unbalance the figure.
  • Limit color to 2-3 hues. Industrial decks read best with a restrained palette.

FAQ

How do I add KPIs per phase?

Add a small KPI tile under each segment with one number and label (e.g., "MTTR: 4h", "coverage: 98%").
