Vectra and Nozomi Networks Safely Secure the IT/OT Convergence by Henrik Davidsson

The document discusses how increased digitalization has merged IT and OT environments, expanding the attack surface and exposing specialized OT systems to broader cyber threats. It advocates starting visibility in IT/IoT before addressing OT, and promotes a joint Vectra–Nozomi Networks approach to provide unified threat detection and prioritization across IT/IoT/OT through a single pane of glass. It highlights hypothetical high-impact OT attack scenarios and emphasizes integration with existing security investments (e.g., SIEM, EDR, firewalls, NAC) and MSSP support to improve monitoring and response.
