AI + IoT + OT: The Future of Smart Security
As IoT and OT systems power everything from smart factories to energy grids, they're also becoming prime targets for cyberattacks. Legacy OT was never built for today’s hyperconnected world and traditional security tools can’t keep up.
That’s why AI is becoming essential in defending this converged landscape.
How AI is Changing IoT and OT Security
-
Anomaly Detection: AI learns normal device behavior and flags subtle deviations — even when attackers mimic legitimate traffic.
-
Autonomous Response: AI can instantly isolate compromised devices, reduce downtime, and limit damage.
-
Digital Twins: Virtual models of physical systems let AI simulate attacks and test defenses without touching live operations.
-
Predictive Security: Just like predictive maintenance, AI forecasts potential breaches and vulnerabilities before they happen.
Real Risks, Real Solutions
Recent attacks on ports, factories, and critical infrastructure show how exposed IoT/OT systems are. From hijacked HVACs to AI-powered botnets, the threat landscape is evolving fast and so must our defenses.
