In this episode, Omar Rao breaks down why operational technology is no longer a niche topic reserved for utilities and industrial plants. OT now sits at the center of some of the most serious cyber risks in the world because attacks against these systems can move beyond data loss and into real operational disruption. Using practical examples, this episode explains what OT is, why it is different from traditional IT, how vendor access and weak segmentation increase risk, and what organizations need to do before a cyber incident becomes a real-world problem.
