The Challenge
Digital transformation is about accessing data and further utilising cloud computing for contextualisation and deeper analysis. In industry, this means introducing the integration of two very different environments with different focus; Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT). IT enables digital transformation, but introduces a significant increase of attack vectors for OT. Cognite is world leading on the data liberation front, but in order to succeed with the industrial revolution, the closed loop vision, we need to solve the operational safety amp; security challenges. Industrial digital transformation will not succeed unless it is built on a safe and secure foundation.
