OT/ICS Security
Security practices tailored to operational technology and industrial control systems, which run production, utility, and physical infrastructure.
Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) run physical processes (manufacturing lines, utilities, building systems) and often can't be patched or monitored the way office IT can, since downtime or a misbehaving agent can halt physical operations. OT/ICS security typically relies more on network segmentation and passive monitoring than on standard endpoint agents.
