Historically, Operational Technology (OT) used to be purely machinery and hardware based. However, as technology has evolved, we are seeing more IT and OT connected to each other, allowing them to transmit information to each other. This allows greater efficiencies, insights and improvements to business operations.
The cyber security risks that previously affected only software and corporate IT networks have now extended into the operational technology network. Operational Networks must be evaluated with the knowledge of the threat and risk that are now present to prevent their OT from being locked, damaged, or even destroyed.
