For many years, the worlds of IT and OT (Operational Technology) were strangers to one another. OT networks have been traditionally separated, or even air-gapped, from the IT networks. However, in recent years, with the rise of IoT in its various forms (IIoT, IoMT, etc...), these networks of devices have started to merge. While the merger of these technologies has enabled business to do more, it has also created challenges that many have failed to address.
