Information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems have coexisted in the process industry for a long time. Digitalization and smart manufacturing have accelerated the all-important convergence of these domains in the process industry. Thus, a coordinated IT-OT approach is becoming critical for accomplishing business and mission goals as well as the resilience of the infrastructure.
