Industrial Control Systems Under Siege The Role of OT Cybersecurity

Industrial Control Systems Under Siege: The Role of OT Cybersecurity

Introduction In today’s hyper-connected industrial world, Operational Technology (OT) no longer operates in the safety of isolation. For decades, Industrial Control Systems (ICS) including SCADA, PLCs, DCS, and field devices were designed with reliability and uptime in mind, not cybersecurity. They were air-gapped, separated from corporate IT networks, and protected by physical access controls. That…

Why Traditional IT Security Isn’t Enough for OT Systems?

Introduction The digital transformation sweeping across industries has blurred the line between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT). Once separate domains, they now work in tandem to improve efficiency, productivity, and visibility. While this convergence has accelerated industrial innovation, it has also exposed operational systems to a new dimension of cyber risk. Traditional IT…
