Today, many companies use either fully or partially automated production processes. Robots, CNC machines, and PLCs are already integral parts of the production sector, and several companies continue to opt for a higher degree of automation.
The advantages of automation are numerous, but the interaction between OT (Operational Technology) and the rest of the company’s IT infrastructure often needs to catch up. Production units are often treated as stand-alone entities and, as a result, do not exchange data with the rest of the company’s IT setup.
OT and IT use different network protocols and applications but share fundamentally similar components.
So, how can you bridge the gap between these two worlds and make them work together seamlessly? Additionally, what threats do we need to protect our OT and IoT environments against? You can learn more about these topics in this webinar.
