From OT to xOT: What is Extended Operational Technology?

What is Extended Operational Technology - thumbnail

OT security was traditionally built around the control room: PLCs, HMIs, the systems directly running a process. But the systems that determine whether operations stay running now extend well past it. Connected OT, cloud services, and remote access infrastructure are part of the environment too. If a system's failure can stop production, affect safety, or compromise output, it's in scope.

That's what we mean by xOT (Extended Operational Technology) — not a new category of device, but a standard for defining the full set of systems that influence physical operations.

During this on-demand webinar, Dragos Sr. Product Marketing Manager Danielle Gauthier walks through why the scope of OT cybersecurity needs to catch up to how operations actually run today.

You'll learn:

Why traditional OT security no longer covers everything that puts operations at risk

How to apply the xOT standard across manufacturing, energy, oil and gas, and other critical industries

A practical approach to operationalizing xOT: from defining what's in scope, to validating risk, to building resilience over time
