OT, ICS, and SCADA

Operational Technology (OT) refers to computing systems that are used to manage industrial operations as opposed to administrative operations. Operational systems include applications such as production line management, mining operations control, oil & gas monitoring, etc.

Industrial control systems (ICS) represent a major segment within the operational technology sector; they comprise systems that are used to monitor and control industrial processes.

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems provide a human-machine interface (HMI) that displays the process under management and provides access to control functions.
