Secure communication, resulting in a secure exchange of data between Operational Technology (OT) and
Information Technology (IT), is the backbone of digitalization. Industrial networks and office networks
both use Ethernet-based communication, but they differ in several ways. Both networks have highly
specific requirements. They have to be taken into account when planning the OT/IT connection in order
to ensure a reliable data exchange in enterprise networks.
