Let’s secure the moment. The world of Operational Technology (OT) is no longer air-gapped. With digitisation, IIoT, cloud connectivity and hybrid OT/IT architectures, the attack surface is expanding fast. Key realities every architect must own:1. Availability is the pedigree.In OT environments (energy, manufacturing, infrastructure) uptime is critical. Security designs must prioritise process integrity and availability.2. Attackers are moving from IT […]
Then I am afraid you’re building a breach buffet. 🍽️ Multi-cloud brings flexibility, but without clear rules, it can turn into chaos.Here’s how to fix it fast in three steps👇 1️⃣ OWNERSHIP: Every workload needs a clear owner & purpose.
