Cybersecurity in the OT (operational technology) environment is becoming increasingly important in view of growing digitalization and networking of production facilities and critical infrastructures. A holistic security strategy that takes technological, organizational and human factors into account is essential. This increases resistance to cyber attacks and ensures secure operation. The possibilities offered by Automation Studio will be demonstrated in this workshop.
