Joint Solution Brief on IT/OT Cybersecurity Challenges

This document is a joint solution brief that addresses the unique cybersecurity challenges faced by operational technology (OT) environments. It outlines the difficulties in asset protection due to immature processes and manual management of assets, which leave them vulnerable to attacks. The brief discusses the communication barriers between IT and OT security teams and the complexities introduced by the convergence of IT and OT asset management. Additionally, it highlights the global skills shortage in the industry, which exacerbates these challenges. The solution proposed by Swimlane and Nozomi Networks aims to enhance operational efficiency and security posture through comprehensive vulnerability management and automation. By centralizing intelligence and facilitating collaboration between IT and OT teams, the integration of Swimlane Turbine and Nozomi Networks is designed to streamline vulnerability management, improve visibility, and enable automated responses, ultimately reducing risk and enhancing security across both domains.
