Putting the IT and OT into Security

Between information technology (IT), operational technology (OT), and the internet of things (IoT), there are many “T”s to cross to keep your company safe from cyberattacks.

Senior Security Consultant and Studio Leader Coleman Wolf says the cybersecurity threat to building systems often comes down to how they are being actively managed and supported as they age. He shared his views during a recent interview with ASIS Security Snapshots, a show produced by ASIS International, a global community of security practitioners dedicated to the protection of assets including people, property, and information.
