During the yearly Think NXT event, Kanaal Z interviews Antonio Paci, Senior Solution Consultant Security at Proximus NXT, on the importance of OT (Operational Technology) security for businesses.
Antonio starts by explaining what OT or operational technology is about, illustrating with examples such as medical scanners, industrial machinery, and ATMs. He emphasizes that safety around this kind of equipment is critical, because even though such devices have not been designed with cybersecurity in mind, attacks on OT devices can have serious consequences for physical elements in companies, buildings, and even for people.
He discusses the NIS2 directive, which applies to information and network security, and how this directive considers OT as critical infrastructure. However, many companies are unaware of the risks and compliance requirements that apply to their sector.
Antonio explains that his team works with clients to analyze their situation, identify risks, and find appropriate security solutions that meet their needs and budget.
