Operational technology (OT) environments – which have long been centred on safety, uptime, and operational continuity – are now more interconnected than ever. Driven by the need for increased efficiency, agility, and integration, these advancements offer significant operational benefits (such as real-time analytics, predictive maintenance and remote monitoring & administration), but they also introduce risks.
Organisations deploying or operating OT systems often face challenges in prioritising cyber security due to operational constraints, such as dependence on legacy technologies that were never designed for modern connectivity or security requirements.

- Bring the Fight to the Edge: Turning Time Into an Advantage in OT Security
February 24, 2026
Industrial organizations are facing a growing paradox in cybersecurity. While operational technology (OT) environments are increasingly connected, most security strategies still assume threats will only materialize once attackers reach the plant floor. In reality, attacks that disrupt industrial operations rarely begin in OT environments. They originate upstream, progress over time and frequently exploit the persistent assumption ...
