Operational Technologies (OT) are central to almost every facet of our lives: CT machines, industrial robots, CNC milling machines and even washing machines. It encompasses anything that includes a computer chip and a program inside that is not traditionally “owned” by IT.
However, operational technologies may use obsolete software that is vulnerable to threats because they have not had to be exposed to the Internet until now, i.e. before being integrated with IT. Without proper secure IT management policies, data transmission between IT and OT can leave the door open for online threats to infiltrate Internet-connected IT systems and make their way into vulnerable OT networks.
Fortunately, there are tools that can help organizations gain the benefits of integration while maintaining security. Michael Barford, Senior Solutions Engineer at Fortra will explain in our upcoming Webinar how to:
- Efficiently transfer information between IT and OT.
- Avoid attackers and do it efficiently and with few resources
- Detecting both known and unknown issues
