Hacking the Physical World

Описание: OT Security Lesson 1: Introduction to Operational Technology Cybersecurity

What is OT Security and why is it critical for the world’s infrastructure? In Lesson 1 of our Industrial Cybersecurity series, we break down the fundamentals of Operational Technology.

Operational Technology (OT) manages the physical processes in factories, power plants, and water treatment facilities. As these systems become more connected, the risk of cyberattacks grows. In this introductory lesson, we cover:

What is OT? Defining the hardware and software that controls physical systems.

IT vs. OT: Why the "CIA Triad" (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability) changes in an industrial setting.

The Purdue Model: Understanding traditional network architecture for industrial control systems.

Real-World Impact: Why OT failure can lead to life-threatening consequences.
