Critical Elements of a Sophisticated Security Architecture Even by the standards of technological change, plant operations and manufacturing organizations are experiencing an unprecedented rate of evolution. Many use supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems to keep industrial processes on track. These systems collect data from sensors, then incorporate that data into industrial control systems
5 Actionable Takeaways Organizations are converging their operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) environments for competitive advantages. This greatly increases cyber risk within the OT environment. Having a comprehensive, end-to-end security posture greatly reduces this risk. Plant operations and manufacturing leaders need to consider a security approach that integrates OT and IT security, is
