The world of Operational Technology (OT) is evolving. While OT-systems used to operate in complete isolation, there’s now a growing need to connect them to the cloud—for analytics, AI, maintenance, and optimization. But how do you do that without compromising the safety, availability, and reliability of your OT environment?
In this session, we’ll take you on a journey—from the factory floor to the cloud. Together, we’ll explore:
- Which OT data should (and shouldn’t) go to the cloud—and why?
- What are the risks of cloud connectivity in OT environments?
- How do you design a secure and controlled connection?
- What role do standards like IEC 62443 and NIS2 play?
- And how do you ensure both IT and OT take joint responsibility?
With practical examples, architectural principles, and clear do’s and don’ts, you’ll gain insight into how to integrate cloud into your OT landscape safely and responsibly.
The cloud isn’t wrong in OT—as long as you do it right.
