Automated Disaster Recovery for OT: Ensuring Rapid Response and Business Continuity
Operational Technology (OT) environments sit at the heart of critical infrastructure—power plants, manufacturing lines, water systems, and transportation networks all rely on them to function without interruption. When these systems go down, the impact is not just financial; it can disrupt essential services, create safety risks, and ripple across entire economies. That’s why disaster recovery in OT is no longer a luxury or an afterthought—it’s a necessity baked into modern operational resilience strategies. Unlike traditional IT systems, OT environments are complex, interconnected, and often built on legacy components that weren’t designed with cybersecurity or rapid recovery in mind. Downtime in these environments can cost thousands—or even millions—of dollars per hour. More importantly, it can halt production, damage equipment, and compromise safety protocols. As industries become more digitized, the gap between IT and OT continues to shrink, making it even more critical to adopt re...
