Description

The convergence of operational technologies (OT) with IT and cloud computing is not just a technical project: it is a strategic decision that transforms industrial risk management. In a context where OT environments are increasingly interconnected, how can production data be exploited to create value—without compromising operational security? This presentation proposes a structured approach based on five fundamental pillars: defensible architecture, secure access, vulnerability management, operational resilience, and OT governance. Through concrete examples and industrial use cases, we will explore how to integrate analytics and cloud computing in a controlled manner, while respecting a key principle: data can leave, but control remains local. The goal: to enable industrial innovation while strengthening the resilience and cybersecurity maturity of organizations.
