Securing Operational Technology (OT) With Zero Trust Cybersecurity: A Critical Approach
Data Science Central, Tuesday, January 14th, 2025
In today's digital landscape, securing Operational Technology (OT) has become a paramount concern for industries like manufacturing, energy, transportation, and utilities.
OT refers to the hardware and software systems that detect or cause changes through direct monitoring and control of physical devices, processes, and events. These systems are essential for managing critical infrastructure and processes in industries that impact our daily lives. However, as OT systems become increasingly connected to IT networks and the broader internet, they face heightened risks from cyber threats. This is where the Zero Trust cybersecurity model comes into play. This article will explain how OT is used to secure physical devices and processes in a zero trust environment.
