Due to digital transformation, the growing interconnectedness of production facilities, energy supply, and critical infrastructures, more and more companies today face the need to ensure the cybersecurity of operational technologies (OT). New requirements are emerging, particularly at the intersection of law, technology, and organization: in addition to classic security topics, operational safety, regulatory requirements, and TRBS are coming to the forefront.
