Is Zero Trust Right For OT, Right Now?
Fortinet News, Monday, April 22nd, 2024
A major shift is happening in organizations with operational technology (OT) networks used in environments such as factories and critical infrastructure.
Once-siloed 'air-gapped' OT and information technology (IT) environments are increasingly connected to meet business requirements, support digital initiatives, and secure remote workers.
Although these connections can enhance production through data sharing and access to new cloud-based tools, this IT/OT convergence gives bad actors easier access to previously air-gapped OT environments, which exposes vulnerabilities and increases security and production risks.
