Nowadays, many companies require real-time access to operating data from industrial systems. Previously isolated and secure, these are now increasingly being connected to corporate networks and sometimes even integrated on commercial and off-the-shelf platforms.

On the one hand, this approach opens up a number of advantages, such as smart analyses or predictive maintenance and remote monitoring of operating systems. On the other hand, industrial control systems (ICS), process control systems and other operational technologies can be exposed. The systems are more susceptible to malware attacks, hacking, employee sabotage and other security risks.

IT and OT: two worlds collide

How can you guarantee appropriate access to your control and production data while avoiding cyber security incidents that can cause total failure, security threats and process disruption as the line between information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) continues to blur?
