IT and ICS/OT Cybersecurity Convergence

It's become almost commonplace to hear pundits speak about the convergence of IT and ICS/OT cybersecurity. But how in the world would hacking something like a company's public facing website, impact revenue through the disruption of service delivery?

Good question.

When a website offering pay as you go utility services was hacked, customers lost the ability to prepay their electricity, which effectively turned out the lights. Because prepaid services are offered for a wide range of services, from cellphones to cloud storage they're just one more reason why ICS/OT teams are joining their IT counterparts, in a converged security strategy to secure the IT/OT environment.

With the sudden increase in work from home and the resultant surge in digital business transformation, are you ready?
