A Solution Guide to Operational Technology Cybersecurity


As new digital tools like cloud applications, artificial intelligence (AI), and smart devices improve production efficiencies and capabilities in industrial and critical infrastructure sectors, it is essential for organizations to understand the similarities and differences between their information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) networks, as well as what happens when the two intersect.

IT generally refers to computing, networking, and managing information in organizations. OT controls processes that have safety and physical impacts, guiding physical processes with equipment in manufacturing plants, power stations, pipelines, railways, and other infrastructure. While any security impacts on IT functions are typically restricted to the organization itself, many components of OT are critical to public safety and global economic health.
