What are OT networks?

OT (Operational Technology) Networks are specialized communication networks used to monitor and control industrial equipment, processes, and infrastructure. These networks connect devices like sensors, controllers, and SCADA systems in industries such as manufacturing, energy, and transportation. Unlike traditional IT networks, OT networks prioritize reliability, safety, and real-time performance. Integrating OT with IT can improve efficiency but also introduces unique cybersecurity challenges that require specialized solutions.
