OT Security
The protection of operational technology — the industrial control systems, PLCs, and SCADA environments that run physical processes in manufacturing, energy, and utilities. OT security differs from IT security because availability and safety outrank confidentiality, patching windows are rare, and equipment lifetimes are measured in decades.
