IT OT convergence merges information technology with operational technology, boosting efficiency but exposing industrial control systems to new cyber risks.
IT OT Convergence Definition: IT OT convergence merges information technology with operational technology, boosting efficiency but exposing industrial control systems to new cyber risks.
IT OT convergence is the integration of information technology systems, which handle data and business processes, with operational technology systems, which monitor and control physical industrial processes and equipment. As these once-isolated domains connect for efficiency, analytics, and remote management, the air gap that historically protected OT erodes, exposing industrial control systems and SCADA environments to IT-borne cyber threats. This drives the need for unified, OT-aware security governance.
