Operational technology (OT) systems, such as industrial control systems and SCADA, were overlooked by cyberpunks in the past. Robbing OT system data was challenging as it was not connected to external networks.
But that’s no longer the point.
With the massive increase of cyber crimes in the OT space, the cabinets of UAE and other selected countries in the Middle East region (Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar among others) are concerned about securing the cyber infrastructure and protecting the data from cyber criminals.
Middle East governments are acutely aware of the new threat landscape of digitization.
In comparison to the IT sector, cybersecurity for operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS) is considerably weak. The significant reason for this is that the OT systems were not designed for a digitalized world where systems are connected via internet.
Yet the advancement towards Industrial IoT (IIoT) demands secure OT systems and protection for manufacturing processes
