Compared to IT, operational technology (OT) systems are often misunderstood and mishandled. There’s a reason for this, OT carries a lot of unique challenges, such as the inability to use standard IT protections like antivirus and the use of different communication protocols, says Christopher Walcutt, CSO, DirectDefense. Visibility is paramount to enabling resilience in OT systems. To achieve this, organizations must foster collaboration between IT, physical security, and facilities departments.
