Security News > 2020 > June > New Reality of IT-OT: Convergence, Collaboration and Digital Transformation Acceleration
One of the long-standing barriers to collaboration is that security teams have had zero visibility into OT networks and no telemetry.
Solutions that are purpose-built for OT visibility and continuous threat monitoring and that you can quickly implement, enable IT and OT teams to look at OT environments together, work from the same set of information, and take specific steps to build resiliency and reach new levels of productivity.
Despite all the challenges of the last few months and the work still to be done to improve resiliency, CISOs and security practitioners tell me that one of the biggest opportunities lays in the increased acceptance of digital transformation projects.
Depending on how far they were on their digital transformation journey, they and their peers either saw the benefits or experienced the pain of transitioning to a remote work model.
As we build towards a future that looks increasingly distributed, IT and OT environments will continue to converge, and IT and OT teams will collaborate even more to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives.
