The importance of the cyber security

• OT incidents are more serious
  Not just losing the confidential information, OT cyber-attacks cause more destructive outcomes. The halts in production and operation may results in extensive financial losses, direct physical harm, and even potential casualties. Although the impact on OT is far more severe, the attention of OT security back in years is low as IT incidents happened more frequently. However, things change as the new age of OT take place.

• OT security risks are increasing
  With the increasing development of IIoT/ AIoT under a fast evolved ecosystem, greater numbers of companies are connecting equipment/devices to the internet to pursue real-time operations for enhanced competitiveness in various industries such as automation, manufacturing, healthcare, urban infrastructure, etc. More touchpoints with the internet in OT result in higher potential security threat. This makes the needs of OT cybersecurity become more significant than ever and the demands of the equipment of network security has grown to address this trend.

OT cyber security defense is required

• Everywhere
  As Operational Technology (OT) interacts with the physical world including sensing, monitoring, and direct control of physical devices/processes, the OT security requires the ability to expend to a variety of vertical applications. The edge systems would have to be deployed everywhere for OT security defense. To achieve the objectives, the computing system need to be compact enough for different fields.
