Manufacturing & Industrial IT/OT
Why Should IT and OT Networks Be Separated in Factories? PLC, SCADA and Production Security
IT includes users, ERP, email and file services; OT includes PLCs, HMIs, SCADA, CNC, robots and industrial IoT. VLANs alone are not security; IT/OT traffic should be limited by firewalls/ACLs to required protocols, directions and sources.
