Thread: What is OT security in cyber security?

Hey, Do you guys know what is OT security in cyber security.

The promise of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is driving a convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) and highlighting a critical issue: understanding the differences between IT and OT cybersecurity and how to begin developing effective defenses against the nightmare scenarios OT Visibility is also a very important topic in cyber security. OT security is “practices and technologies used to (a) protect people, assets and information, (b) monitor and/or control physical devices, processes and events, and (c) initiate state changes to enterprise OT systems.

Operational Technology (OT) is hardware and software that detects or causes a change through the direct monitoring and/or control of physical devices, processes and events in the enterprise, according to Gartner. OT is common in Industrial Control Systems (ICS) such as a SCADA System. In the world of critical infrastructure, OT may be used to control power stations or public transportation. As this technology advances and converges with networked tech the need for OT security grows exponentially.

Forgive me for writing in such an old thread, but I wanted to share my opinion right here!

This cybersecurity system does its job well, I was surprised at its capabilities and I hope future updates will only improve its performance.

Despite the fact that OT security allows you to maintain confidentiality on the network and ensures the protection of data and programs, however, there are many cases when organizations or private networks are hacked by criminals. The information received becomes an object of manipulation by the victim and a source of extortion. You need to be extremely careful and try not to spread information about yourself on the network. In order to protect me from hacking and data theft, I regularly turn to swiftcomm.co.uk for help and follow all the security advice given by this organization. I've already had several attempts to hack my information and since then I've been extremely careful!
