Operational Technology (OT) networks are undergoing a digital transformation process of their own. The goal is to improve productivity, efficiency, up-time, and flexibility through better monitoring. Many OT systems were never designed for remote accessibility, so the risks associated with connectivity were never considered when the OT architecture was originally engineered. As cybercriminals begin to more aggressively target OT devices and systems, these basic security measures are increasingly inadequate. Organizations not only need to apply specialized security solutions and strategies to their OT environment, but they need to also be able tie them into their larger security framework.”]
