1. A computer-implemented method for managing initiation of an automated healing process for operational technology devices in a network comprising:
identifying at least one operational technology (OT) device connected to a network that is vulnerable to at least one cybersecurity risk, wherein the at least one OT device is wirelessly connected to the network;
identifying at least one computer-executable resolution to the at least one cybersecurity risk;
executing a simulation that tests performance of the network with resolution of the at least one cybersecurity risk utilizing the at least one computer-executable resolution, wherein upon being executed the simulation is configured to:
identify a component of the network affected by the resolution of the at least one cybersecurity risk utilizing the at least one computer-executable resolution;
classify the component as a critical component of the network or a non-critical component of the network; and
determine whether the at least one computer-executable resolution affects the component in a critical manner or a non-critical manner;
generating a solution implementation report based at least in part on the simulation; and
determining whether to automatically initiate the at least one computer-executable resolution based at least in part on the solution implementation report.
