Introduction
Operational Technology (OT) security protects industrial systems like power grids, factories, and transportation networks from cyber threats. These systems control physical processes and must run safely and reliably. Unlike IT security, which focuses on data, OT security prevents
disruptions that could cause safety risks or financial losses. As cyberattacks on OT systems
increase, organizations must strengthen security with network protection, access controls, and
real-time monitoring. With IT and OT becoming more connected, securing these systems is more important than ever.
Why OT Security is Important?
OT security is essential because it protects critical systems that control industries like power, water, transportation, and manufacturing. Unlike IT security, which focuses on data, OT security ensures machines and processes run safely and without disruption. Cyberattacks on OT systems can cause equipment failure, financial loss, and even safety risks.As IT and OT become more connected, the risk of cyber threats increases. Many OT systems were not
built with security in mind, making them easy targets. Strong security measures—like network
protection, access controls, and real-time monitoring—help prevent attacks and keep operations running smoothly. Protecting OT systems is vital for safety, reliability, and business continuity.
