Can OT Security Improve Without Cleaner Network Visibility?
Industrial and critical infrastructure environments are becoming more connected as IT, OT, and IoT systems work together. This improves efficiency, but it also increases security risk. For OT security tools to detect threats accurately, they need complete, clean, and relevant network traffic. A major challenge is that industrial networks often generate fragmented, duplicated, and noisy traffic across plants, substations, cloud-connected systems, and internal workloads. This makes it harder for security teams to identify real anomalies, monitor assets, and respond quickly without adding operational disruption. Deep network observability helps solve this by collecting traffic from different sources, filtering unnecessary data, removing duplicates, enriching packets with context, and delivering high-quality telemetry to security analytics systems. This allows teams to gain better asset visibility, improve threat detection accuracy, and reduce the load on monitoring tools. The key takeaway...
