IT/OT collaboration
IT and OT teams secure the same plant with different goals: IT protects data, and OT keeps the line running. A joint program works when both teams agree on priorities and on who owns each control at the boundary.
These posts cover how to set up that working agreement and keep it in place as programs scale.
