Jon Holzbauer, OT Systems Manager at Silgan Containers, explains his experience facilitating the journey to OT security for IT cybersecurity professionals. Coming from an IT perspective with an OT background, he has navigated the differing incentives, terminology and communication challenges, and overall connectivity and convergence of different technologies that are core to the business. Bridging the gap relies on finding overlaps between IT and OT, encouraging learning from each others’ day-to-day responsibilities, and encouraging effective communication.
