Why OT Security Is Different

• OT systems control physical processes
  They run plants, pipelines and production lines not just data.
  
  
• Downtime has real-world impact
  A security failure can stop operations, damage equipment or threaten safety.
  
  
• Access in OT is inherently risky
  Shared accounts and remote access create pathways for attackers into critical systems.

⏰OT security is about who and what can access machines — not just networks and data.
