Challenges
- Lack of visibility into OT assets and the vulnerabilities associated with them
- Lack of coordination and collaboration between OT and IT organizations
- Legacy Infrastructural OT systems cannot be patched for cybersecurity vulnerabilities
- Lack of skillsets and understanding of security best practices related to network segmentation and zero-trust architecture
