The landscape of OT security tools is far less developed than its information technology counterpart.

With OT systems opening to the world and cyberthreats surging, the lack of OT-specific security tools has emerged as an urgent problem.

Security solutions designed for IT environments simply can't satisfy the demands of OT and industrial realities, for several key reasons.

Without a security solution like Cyolo, which retrofits legacy applications to support modern security protocols, IT tools will be severely limited in their ability to secure OT systems.

IT and security teams working in OT spaces must take the time to understand and embrace OT philosophies and needs, and collaborate with OT stakeholders to define best practices.

Not only will the right solutions harden security postures against tomorrow's attacks, they will position security to contribute to innovation rather than stand in its way.
