Bridging the IT/OT Divide with a Cross-Functional Operating Model

Navigating the complexities of cyber-physical systems (CPS) can feel like an uphill battle, but you don’t have to fight it alone. The OT/IT Treaty is a strategic playbook designed to help you bridge the gap between IT security and operational reality. It provides the tools and language necessary to move beyond simple tool deployment and build a mature, governed security program that protects your organization’s revenue and human safety.

Inside the Guide:

This white paper outlines a structured framework for winning internal buy-in and operationalizing a comprehensive CPS Protection Program. You will learn how to:

• Break down why CPS security cannot operate in a silo and requires a unified cross-functional operating muscle across IT, Security, Facilities, and OT personnel.

• Map key stakeholder priorities and primary concerns: Security (reducing attack surface), Operations/Plant Managers (uptime, safety, zero friction), CISO/CIO (unified visibility, risk mitigation), and CRO (automated compliance audits).

• Outline the macro-level roles each executive persona plays in championing and enforcing a consistent security posture across production environments.
