Many organisations depend on their Operational Technology (OT) estates and production environments, largely comprised of critical, disparate and legacy elements. Due to the advent of i4.0 and operational innovation, these operational technology landscapes are changing. The approach to securing OT needs to adapt in turn, to ensure resilience of these changing landscapes and to enable, rather than prevent, the most effective use of new capabilities and services.

After many years of unregulated growth – with little focus on confidentiality, deliberate segregation from the corporate environment, and often lack of asset and configuration management – implementing cyber security and resilience into OT environments remains a significant challenge.

As more organisations embed connected and digital technologies into their operational environments, protecting these OT estates from inadvertent cyber exposure or malicious attack becomes increasingly critical and difficult.
