Why IT/OT Convergence Increases Cyber Risk in Critical Infrastructure

In this video, RunSafe Security’s CTO explains why legacy OT devices are more vulnerable than ever and what organizations must do to defend against modern cyber threats.

The Risks of Connecting Legacy OT to Modern IT Networks

As critical infrastructure evolves, so do the threats targeting it. One of the biggest shifts in recent years is the convergence of IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) systems. While this integration improves visibility and remote management, it also expands the attack surface in significant ways.

In this short video, RunSafe Security CTO explains:

Why OT systems were never designed for network connectivity
How post-COVID remote work accelerated OT exposure
What risks arise when legacy devices meet modern IT networks
Practical steps to reduce risk on both sides of the IT/OT line

Whether you’re managing industrial control systems, water treatment facilities, or power grids, this is a must-watch for security leaders navigating the blurred lines of IT and OT.

CRA Readiness: Which Vulnerabilities Actually Put Your Product at Risk?

Oct 14, 2026

Not Every Vulnerability Poses the Same Risk Finding a CVE is only the first step. For embedded product teams, the real challenge is determining which vulnerabilities actually affect their products, whether they can be exploited, and what action to take. In Part 3 of...

CRA Readiness: Build an SBOM You Can Act On

Sep 14, 2026

Under the Cyber Resilience Act, having an SBOM is only the beginning. Manufacturers need to know exactly what software is in each product release and be able to quickly determine which products are affected when a new vulnerability emerges. For embedded software, that...

Operational Software Assurance
