Acronym for Operational Technology—systems controlling physical processes and industrial equipment.
OT stands for Operational Technology. See 'Operational Technology' for the full definition. OT security has emerged as a critical discipline as industrial systems face increasing cyber threats.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
OT and IT convergence creates new risks. Traditional IT security teams often lack OT expertise. Build OT security capability or partner with specialists if you have industrial control systems.
