OT vs IT

Architecture

Besides being pervasive in our personal lives, IT is a relatively standardized world, and that is far more homogeneous than OT.) IT also tends to adapt far more quickly to multiple computing trends, from PCs to Internet to mobility, all of which have broadly shaped today’s Corporate IT strategy.

In contrast, OT is filled with silos of proprietary architectures because of its task‐specific nature. For example, a refinery is designed so it can run continuously for 5+ years before it is shut down for maintenance. In other words, reliability can often trump innovation, open architecture, interoperability, etc.

Focus

The IT software portfolio is people‐centric in the sense that it helps people “make money” by managing and coordinating the higher‐level processes and transactions of the business.

In contrast, the OT portfolio is largely “thing‐centric” in the sense that it helps “make product” by controlling the physical equipment with a great deal of precision (and safety), where the human’s role is supervisory (as automation increases.)

End‐Point

The end‐point being managed is often a human (whose job tends to be information‐intensive) using a computing device (that has been relatively homogeneous until the recent and growing BYOD [bring your own device] trend.)

The end‐point being managed is often a physical asset such as pumps, motors, conveyors, valves, forklifts, etc., where these “things” come in all shapes, sizes, level of complexity, versions and vintage.

Scope & Ownership

IT

Covers the spectrum of systems that support corporate functions like Finance, HR, Supply Chain, Order Management, Sales, etc. Functions and their processes tend to have commonality across industries.

OT

Covers the spectrum of systems that deal with the physical transformation of products and services. They are task‐ specific systems, are highly customized for industries and considered mission‐critical. They typically fall under the domain of Engineering.

Industrial Control Systems Security

Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) serve distinct roles within an organization. OT is primarily concerned with controlling physical equipment to produce goods safely and precisely, with human intervention being mostly supervisory.
