As critical infrastructure systems modernize, the integration of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) is gaining momentum. But unlike typical digital transformation efforts, this convergence touches systems where safety, reliability, and resilience are paramount. We will concentrate on the network and telecom infrastructure aspects.
We’ll begin by exploring what IT/OT convergence means and why it’s gaining urgency across sectors. We’ll discuss the differences but also the commonalities.
Then, we’ll take a closer look at the phrase “mind the gap.” Often, the IT/OT divide is seen as a problem to solve—but in many critical environments, that gap exists for good reason.
We’ll discuss key considerations for critical infrastructure and their telecom infrastructure.
Finally, we’ll highlight potential game changers.
