OT
Operational Technology — Hardware and software that monitors and controls physical devices, processes, and infrastructure — such as manufacturing equipment, power grids, and pipelines — as distinct from traditional IT, which manages data. OT security prioritizes safety and continuous availability, since an outage or malfunction can cause physical harm, not just data loss.
