From Factory Floor to Control Room Cybersecurity in OT Environments

From Factory Floor to Control Room: Cybersecurity in OT Environments

Introduction The fourth industrial revolution has blurred the line between the physical and digital worlds. Machines that once operated in isolation controlling assembly lines, managing refinery pipelines, or regulating power grids are now deeply interconnected with enterprise IT, the cloud, and global supply chains. This convergence of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) has…
