Operational Technology (OT) involves the hardware and software that manage industrial equipment, processes, and events using automated systems. It's essential in industries like manufacturing, utilities, energy, transportation, healthcare, mining, and food production.

While IT security safeguards data and applications, OT security prioritizes protecting industrial controls to ensure safety and availability in industrial settings.

In this video, Samrat Chaudhuri, a Wipro global practice leader, argues that the biggest hurdle in implementing OT security is not so much about budgets as it is a lack of in-house OT security skills and a general lack of awareness of “what could go wrong.”
