- [Narrator] Operational technology and industrial control systems are used to drive efficiency and connectivity in industrial sectors. In this segment, we'll explore fundamental concepts, components, and principles of operational technology systems. First, let's talk about the concept of operational technology. Operational technology refers to the sensors, software and protocols that are used to monitor and control machinery, processes and infrastructure in industrial environments. operational technology systems are used in areas such as food manufacturing, power regulation, and water treatment plants. Now, within the realm of operational technology, there are subsets. The first subset is industrial control systems, which are used to control industrial and critical infrastructure assets. Another subset is SCADA, or supervisory control and data acquisition. These systems are centralized systems that monitor and control processes and machinery that are used in industrial settings…
