OT Security Fundamentals – Why Is It Important?
With the rise of Industry 5.0, which goes beyond automation and IoT to emphasize collaboration between humans and machines, cybersecurity requirements are evolving more rapidly than ever. OT (Operational Technology) refers to all technologies that support physical processes, such as those in manufacturing, healthcare, or transportation. As industries integrate AI, robotics, and smart systems into their operations, the need for robust cybersecurity measures to protect both human-machine interactions and critical infrastructure becomes even more crucial.
New Challenges of Connectivity:
- OT systems, including SCADA, PLC, and DPC (Discrete Process Control), are increasingly interconnected, making them vulnerable to cyberattacks.
- Poorly secured OT devices and protocols pose significant risks.
- Businesses need to accurately identify OT assets to implement appropriate security measures.
Unified Protection for IT and OT Systems:
An integrated security model provides better visibility and faster response times to threats. A converged SOC approach fosters collaboration between IT and OT security measures, enabling comprehensive protection.
