What is Operational Technology?

Operational Technology (OT) refers to the hardware and software systems that monitor and control physical devices in industrial settings – like pumps, valves, and treatment systems in water districts. These systems are essential, but often outdated and vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Why Cybersecurity Matters for OT

Many OT systems were never designed to be connected to the internet. As these environments modernize, they become targets for cybercriminals. A single breach could result in service disruptions, public safety risks, environmental damage, compliance violations and fines.

How 43Tc Secures OT Environments

We partner with Fortinet to provide tailored OT security solutions designed specifically for critical infrastructure like water treatment facilities and municipal utilities. Some solutions include network segmentation between IT and OT, real-time threat monitoring and alerting, secure remote access for field teams, asset visibility and control, and compliance with federal guidelines.

Who Needs OT Security?

OT cybersecurity isn’t just for large cities or corporations. Any utility that relies on connected systems including small municipal water districts, wastewater plants, and rural cooperatives are at risk. If your OT network connects to the internet or shares data with IT systems, you need protection.
