As organizations are increasingly connecting industrial control networks to the IT environment, cloud applications, and remote workers, the airgap created by the demilitarized zone (DMZ) erodes, and new ways to secure operational technology (OT) networks must be deployed.
A security solution must take into account the needs of both IT and OT – providing robust security without increasing operational overhead or network complexity. To choose the best solution for your organization, you need to understand the implications of the various security architectures available to you. In this post, we outline a guide to selecting the right architecture to secure industrial IoT.
