Operational Technology (OT) security is the practice of protecting industrial control systems (ICS) from cyber threats that could compromise their availability, safety, and integrity. These systems play a crucial role in managing, overseeing and controlling industrial processes.

OT security is critical for ensuring the availability of critical infrastructure and services, as well as the safety of people and the environment.

With the increasing convergence of IT and OT systems, there is a greater risk of cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure. As a result, understanding the importance of OT security, common OT security challenges and best practices are critical to ensuring the safety and reliability of critical services and prevent OT attacks.
