it ot convergence

About this tag
IT/OT convergence refers to the integration of information technology (IT) systems with operational technology (OT) used in industrial environments like manufacturing plants. This convergence exposes legacy OT systems, such as PLCs and SCADA, to cybersecurity risks because they were not designed for modern connected networks. Discussions on WindowsForum highlight the need to secure OT while respecting its priorities of availability, safety, and long life cycles. Recent developments include partnerships like Dragos and Microsoft, which bring OT security into Azure and Microsoft Sentinel, enabling unified IT and OT detection and response workflows. These topics are relevant for professionals managing industrial cybersecurity in converged environments.
