17 days ago1:32:33

1:32:33

Few topics get as much heat as the current, future, and ideal relationship between OT and IT. One of the first posts someone just discovering OT makes is how OT is different than IT. As you dig deeper into OT you find an increasing case of the technology, processes, and even the people being similar to IT.

The Biden administration is contending that vendors should be held liable for security deficiencies in their products. Assuming this is turned into law and/or executive orders, what does it mean?
