OT Security Solutions
Using hardware and software to monitor and control equipment, infrastructure, and
physical processes are referred to as operational technology (OT). These systems are
widely used in sectors that need high precision and dependability. Asset-intensive
industries, such as security and defence, transportation, and manufacturing, rely
heavily on operational technology systems.

OT systems can be deployed in several ways. For example, they can be installed on
physical devices (such as machines or vehicles) or embedded within IT systems.
Alternatively, they can be accessed through a remote server hosted by the
organisation. OT solutions are also commonly used with other security technologies,
such as firewalls and intrusion detection/prevention systems.
Since OT systems are linked to the internet for access and management, they must be
safeguarded from cyber attacks. Cybercriminals can get access to sensitive data or
even directly to equipment and create chaos, resulting in financial loss and even
death. Imagine a cybercriminal hacking into the computer systems of a manufacturing
unit and changing a production recipe or gaining access to airport systems and
causing planes to crash. Such attacks can harm a company's reputation and result in
serious legal action. Having OT Security is essential for protecting your
organisation and all your consumers who utilise your product.
