Cybersecurity in the space sector

Traditionally, information technology (IT) has driven the conversation in cybersecurity, especially in the space industry with IT teams supporting operational technology (OT) deployment in factories. Today, that is not the case. Unlike previously, when breaches affected mostly the IT environment, it is now targeting the operational technology (OT) environment.

As we increasingly see OT generate data that is incorporated into digital initiatives to improve decision-making, the derived insights are catching the eye of key stakeholders with the enterprise, which in response is turning the heads of top executives. Knowing that IT and OT work together, OT systems could introduce multiple cybersecurity risks to the IT environment.
