Revolutionizing Operational Technology Industries with Microsoft 365 and AI
The possibilities opening up toward Microsoft 365-AI are huge for industries related to operation technologies. Using productivity toolsets within Microsoft, combined with AI, will allow these OT organizations to rapidly work through their workflows, improving operating efficiencies and making data-driven decisions. Furthermore, the security features and compliance tools provide the proper structure and protection against cyber threats while meeting all regulations. While dependency on advanced technologies grows daily, Microsoft 365 and AI have become unavoidable in all OT industries, allowing them to gain a competitive advantage in today's digital evolutionary phase.
The presentation includes:
1. Introduction
2. OT landscape
3. Role of AI in modern security
4. Microsoft 365 as an OT security platform
5. Microsoft AI capabilities: Azure AI, Microsoft Sentinel, Microsoft Defender, Real-world use cases
6. Implementing AI in OT environment
7. Future of AI in OT
8. Q&A and discussion
9. Conclusion
Predictive maintenance for Operational Technology (OT) Systems
In the critical infrastructure and operational technology security. predictive maintenance is transforming the way organizations handle maintenance activities in the operational technology landscape. With the ability to anticipate failures before they occur, organizations can optimize their operations, reduce costs, and improve overall efficiency. Predictive maintenance will ensure a streamlined and sustainable future as industries continue embracing technology and data-driven decision-making.
Operational Technology security
I am interested in sharing information about operational technology security in today's world.
Open source software and security
Open-source software has gained significant traction in recent years, but questions remain about its security compared to proprietary software. While open-source software often benefits from a larger community of developers who can identify and address vulnerabilities more quickly, proprietary software may have more robust security measures due to the control exercised by the vendor.
This discussion explores the relative security of open-source and proprietary software, considering factors such as the nature of vulnerabilities, the role of the community, and the impact of vendor support.
