What Is OT Security?
Operational Technology (OT) systems play a critical role in the smooth operation of modern industries, from oil and gas production to manufacturing and power generation.
In recent years, there have been several prominent attacks on OT systems that have highlighted the importance of effective OT security measures. By understanding the methods used in these attacks and the impact they had on their targets, organizations can better prepare themselves to prevent similar incidents in the future. OT systems are subject to a distinct set of security vulnerabilities that are not present in IT systems. These risks may result from the OT systems' chosen technology, as well as the operational setting in which they are used.
