OT
Operational Technology (OT); refers to
systems that monitor and control industrial
equipment, processes, and events.
Used in industries like:
• Manufacturing
• Energy
• Transportation
• Utilities
Main Differences OT
and IT
• OT (Operational •IT (Information Technology)
Technology)
•Objective: To manage and
• Objective: To control physical analyze data.
processes.
•Equipment: Computers and
• Equipment: Machinery and servers.
automation.
•Data Usage: Data collection
• Data Usage: Real-time data. and analysis.
Industrial Internet of Things
(IIoT)
• IIoT: IIoT enables machines, sensors, and
devices to connect to the internet for data
sharing and remote monitoring.
• Benefits:
• Real-time data analysis
• Improved decision-making processes
• Optimized equipment maintenance
Artificial Intelligence
(AI)
Definition: AI enables machines to acquire human-
like thinking and learning capabilities.
Main Components;
• Machine Learning: Predicts by learning from
data.
• Deep Learning: Self-learning with big data.
• Autonomous Systems: Enables machines to
perform independent tasks.
• Benefits:
• Predictive Analytics: Predicts future events.
• Productivity Improvement: Optimizes
processes.
• Error Reduction: Minimizes human error.
Big Data
Analytics
Definition; Big data refers to the vast
collection of diverse data, and analyzing
it offers businesses better insights.
Benefits:
• Increased Efficiency: Data helps
improve processes and resource use.
• Customer Insights: It reveals
customer behaviors and preferences.
• Better Decisions: Data guides
predictions for future opportunities and
challenges.
Smart Factories
• Definition: Smart factories use automation
and data exchange, with all processes
connected and AI integrated
Benefits:
• Faster production processes
• Lower costs
• Increased flexibility and adaptability
OT Security
Challenges
• Security Risks:
• Cyberattacks on OT systems: Target
critical infrastructure like power grids
and manufacturing plants.
Importance of Securing OT:
• Connected OT systems increase the
risk of cyberattacks.
• Growing need for cybersecurity:
Protecting OT systems ensures
continuous operation and safeguards
critical infrastructure.
