OT has a cybersecurity skills gap. Leading organizations, however, are responding by building cross-functional IT/OT security teams, investing in OT-specific training, creating hybrid cybersecurity roles, and leveraging managed OT security services to bridge immediate gaps. They are also prioritizing asset visibility, documentation, and standardized processes to reduce reliance on tribal knowledge.
