What is OT and why is OT security different from IT security?Operational technology (OT) refers to hardware and software that monitor or control physical processes, assets, or infrastructure, such as industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA, PLCs and DCS.OT security is different from traditional information technology security because the primary concerns in OT are safety, reliability and availability rather than purely confidentiality. For MSPs serving industrial clients, recognising that difference is key: you are protecting physical processes, production lines, utilities or infrastructure rather than only data-systems.Smart-building systems like HVAC, lighting, and access control fall into this same category - operational technology that keeps environments running safely and efficiently.The same applies to smart buildings, where integrated systems control physical environments. A compromised BMS or access controller can disrupt operations or expose sensitive data just as easily as an IT breach.But what are the top operational technology (OT) security threats that MSPs should understand?Thanks for listening! - Learn more about our turnkey cybersecurity platform for MSPs & MSSPs: enhanced.io
