Why “One Size Fits All” Fails in OT Cybersecurity: Real-World Fixes for IT–OT Gaps
OT cybersecurity isn’t about installing more firewalls - it’s about adapting your entire mindset.
In this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow breaks down why IT security tools often fall short in industrial environments and what it really takes to protect operational systems. Drawing from 25+ years of hands-on experience, Aaron explores the differences between IT and OT priorities, why “silver bullet” solutions don’t exist, and how to build defense-in-depth strategies that actually work on the plant floor.
You’ll discover:
Why IT tools struggle in OT environments - and where they can help.
How to balance availability, safety, and security in critical systems.
Practical ways to manage legacy hardware, vendor dependencies, and remote access.
The key to uniting IT and OT teams for stronger resilience.
