When Uptime Is Non-Negotiable: Rethinking Zero Trust For OT Environments
Akamai Technologies, Monday, February 23rd, 2026
For years, critical infrastructure operators have been forced to choose between uptime and robust cybersecurity protection. Traditional controls, such as firewalls, either slow systems down or cannot be deployed at all in fragile OT environments.
