OT Security and Why Critical Infrastructures Need It

OT security, or Operational Technology security, focuses on safeguarding industrial control systems, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, and other technologies that manage and automate operational processes. 

Unlike traditional IT security, which primarily deals with data and network protection, OT security is concerned with the safety and reliability of physical processes.

In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Head of Content Matt Harris speaks to Daniel Bren, Co-Founder and CEO at Otorio, to discuss:

  • OT security and how its importance is growing
  • Why OT security is needed especially by critical infrastructures
  • Empowering operational and security teams to manage digital risk
