Manufacturing security leaders need to converge operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) systems to bolster industrial cybersecurity.
From unalignment in safety and cybersecurity regulations and standards to the increased risk of cyberattacks in functional safety systems as they become better connected, there is a need for security experts to expand and deepen collaboration to close the gap between functional safety and cybersecurity.
IT and OT convergence can present many challenges for an enterprise organization. Explore case studies of convergence to help the process along at your own business.
