In industrial security, a shift from detection to prevention is crucial for Operational Technology (OT) systems, unlike traditional IT networks. While IT security can recover from breaches by restoring from backups, OT systems controlling critical infrastructure like power plants and transportation networks face irreversible consequences such as loss of life or catastrophic damage. Therefore, OT security must be engineered with robust, built-in protection against predictable threats, similar to how buildings are designed to withstand natural disasters, rather than relying solely on detection and response.
