Today, Operational Technology (OT) is responsible to control and monitor industrial processes and equipment. In this regard, OT networks play a key role in industries such as manufacturing, power engineering, water management and others. It is important that these networks are not only efficient and reliable, but also secure, as vulnerabilities in OT networks can have serious impacts on production and operations.
Availability is a critical factor in OT networks. Loss of availability can cause production downtime and loss of productivity. To ensure availability, it is essential to have appropriate network design, network health monitoring and the ability to respond quickly to unforeseen problems and failures. At the same time, security is one of the most important features of OT networks. Ensuring security includes network protection, segmentation and the monitoring of different events.
Technology improvements are enabling new applications and businesses models where everything is connected - devices, machines, and applications. A deeper knowledge of networking technologies allows organizations to take advantage of them to scale and secure their network infrastructure.
To capitalize on these opportunities, today’s networking professionals need a broader range of skills and deeper focus in strategic technology areas.
